1) I already did. Itachi uchiha is different from the rest. He mastered the ability to do so, no one else can do it. He is the only person who can control where his clones spawn it seems. Geniuses can do things the average population can't, that's the whole point of Itachi's character. He is a Mary Sue. The only other way he could have gotten the clone behind him in the space of one panel is by a teleportation technique, which he is also isn't stated to have. Kurenai clearly said: "shadow clone? his jutsu speed is too great" . Asuma was also watching the fight and if he saw itachi's clone running up behind kakashi he would have said something. The clone very clearly spawned directly behind kakashi, it's clear. We have seen kakashi swapping places with naruto's shadow clone in the blink of eye without naruto noticing, so the reason kurenai got confused on which itachi was the real one was because she didnt notice his substitution technique, but kakashi's sharingan allowed him to notice it. Itachi also did that same clone + substiution technique multiple times to sage mode kabuto, that is enough proof for me that he can do it again in this fight.

2) Easy: 1)Itachi saw orochimaru coming out of sasuke's body. He immediately started decapitating the snakes via the totsuka blade. His fight with orochimaru is a separate fight than with sasuke. Why? because his goal was to kill orochimaru while transfering his transcription seal to sasuke. he immediately blitzed orochimaru once he popped out of the snake mouth and that was that. 2) Lol we have been through this. Look at the character mindset and the context. Then look at what the character learned. Itachi initially used amaterasu against nagato for two reasons, plot and inexperience. Kishimoto wanted to take a sideshow to explain the background around kotoamatsukami but he still wanted nagato in play. There is no reason why naruto killer bee and itachi are all stupid enough to just stand there talking while nagato wasn't yet sealed. second reason is simply inexperience. Itachi simply believed that amaterasu would be enough to kill the edo tensei, but he was wrong, it's that simple. But now he KNOWS amaterasu doesn't finish it. The next time he saw nagato, he didn't use totsuka blade for a very simple reason. His focus was on protecting naruto and bee. If he aimed the totsuka blade at nagato when he was still holding naruto and bee itachi risked sealing his allies, which is why he focused on cutting off nagato's arms. After that the fight reset and Itachi simply waited for nagato to make the first move. He isn't opposed to doing that, he let kurenai make the first move against him as well. The difference is, he obviously wasn't trying to kill kurenai but when he was trying to kill nagato, he used the totsuka blade immediately after that, period. All other fights Itachi was involved in he didn't having killing intent, so the blade wasn't used. I presented you facts, it's your choice to take them into consideration or not.

3)Are you seriously implying that part one rock lee is faster than kakashi without any gates open???? A casual relook at the manga clearly shows the adult jounin are faster than part one rock lee except for gates. You still don't have an actual speed feat for the bone technique. Itachi is faster than rock lee in any case, so how does that in anyway prove itachi can't react to the bones? Even if we give kimimaro the benefit of the doubt and say that his technique is faster in his prime, there is no comparison to say itachi can't react to it. So this argument is a stalemate. Furthermore, Itachi has experience now against the technique. It doesn't matter if it was on a smaller scale, itachi has the sharingan which grants insight into the enemy technique. He can see when it's being prepared, as kimimaro places his hands on the ground when he is about to cast it, and that extra foresight bolsters itachi's reaction time. The bones didn't actually even come close to hitting him last time, but this time around he will obviously be forced to jump.
