Can Itachi even use a Ukataka in conjunction with Susano'o? Not to mention Ukatata is probably worthless in this scenario considering Hashirama's experience with Madara's stronger genjutsu and being a genjutsu master himself.

And Hashirama doesn't need to retreat from 30 meters distance. Plenty of time and area to get one of his Mokuton off. He can effortlessly create a Mokujin at that distance and Itachi would have very little to counter it.
