@Jason

Episode 198 or 199, not sure at the moment. In the episode when the skirmish occurs, Itachi retreats as Bee jumps forward to attack. The motion lines of the manga also agree with me.

Why is this different to Madara dodging? Madara was staying in close combat with Sasuke to grab his sword and talk. Itachi was retreating because he could not compete with Bee in close combat. See the difference? Jason of the Mangekyou wrote:

Also for the millionth time this is called retreating the other is just him evading.

Also see how your argument is dumb by observing this [https://i.imgur.com/85v9YDu.jpg since Sakura is running backward, she has now achieved the speed of the gods. All hail] So you concede that Itachi was retreating, finally.

Anyway gonna repost my statement again since you don't seem to understand it. Ninja Of War wrote:

My logic? Lol, my stance is that there is not much positive said about retreating from an attack, and is an extremely low bar for a speed feat.
