But against Orochimaru he just stood there afraid, unable to do anything as he let a wanted rogue criminal walk away. Orochimaru and Itachi are two different people. One is immortal, and the other is a skilled genius. He met Itachi in the middle of the village, in an open field, along with Asuma and Kurenei and knew eventually there would be back ups. And in this case, Itachi can be killed or hurt, as he is mortal, and Kakashi's attempt won't be in vain.

While on the other case, he met Orochimaru in a hidden building or somewhere, where he thought he was safe from everyone. Orochimaru appeared out of nowhere and showes him to be unfazed by Kakashi's Chidori. Orochimaru then laughed on how Kakashi said "Atleast I can kill you as you kill me", since it was universal that Oro is an immortal, and can't be killed. A simple Chidori will not do anything, and Kakashi knowing that was out of odds, he had to protect Sasuke, but he knew he can't kill Orochimaru, and he knew backup won't come either. And he knew Orochimaru had hundred of ways to kill him and take Sasuke away. If he said that to Jiraya or Tsunade, it would be reasonable( a little not in Tsunade's case) but not even the prisioners that were being freed in Oro's lairs weren't fully convinced that Orochimaru is dead. They even questioned if he can be killed? That's why Sasuke killing Orochimaru was a big thing at that time.
