Itachi more than likely used substitution. Even Sakura back in part one was doing what he was doing, she would appear in a new location while her previous location had a log in her place. The only difference seems to be that instead of a log crows took his place. There is no indication that he made a clone, otherwise Sasuke would have seen it, and we know it wasn't genjutsu either.
