Itachi did not fight Naruto with the upper hand. Naruto was only blocking so he could hear what Itachi had to say. Thats an excuse. Naruto was clearly on the defense and itachi was pushing him backwards. Itachi was lying all the time to sasuke as stated by obito. We can only take this "summoning susanoo" a lie too. Even obito said he lied towards the end of the fight. Thier was no chakra formation around itachi nor did zetsu sense it nor did sharingan see it. If itachi activated susanoo, sasuke's sharingan which can see chakra colour wouldve seen it.

Besides itachi dodged lightning-speed shuriken of sasuke according to databook. Why not kirin? This is the most logical explanation, itachi is faster than light, as kirin is light-speed according to db.
