In 1/1000th of a second Itachi while near blind and near dead was able to get Susanoo up and survive Kirin. You keep arguing for what?? nothing. Find something of substance to argue with(which you haven't done yet) and come back, or just move along and stop arguing just to argue. Lol, I'm actually addressing you for once.

Anyways, @FlatZone, your entire argument rested on "Itachi being confused" about Sasuke's chakra reserves. @CyberianGinseng, already showed Sasuke himself saying the same thing as Itachi. Confirming Itachi wasn't confused. So you can't prove your claim that Itachi can't see chakra or that he was completely blind. So that argument of yours remains opinion. Which is fine, just don't claim it as fact.

As for my post, yeah context matters. Kirin is a technique, and that technique was literally explained and set-up in front of Itachi. There was extensive information beforehand, set-up of the jutsu-kirin-dragon, hand motion from Sasuke and final dialogue "begone with the thunderclap". Saying Itachi can't predict that, goes against Itachi's character, the very nature of the Sharingan and the sense of hearing.
