Bee predicted Minato would appear behind him and he got his sword ready, he didn't move faster than minato because you can't be faster than instant. Lets do some power-scaling. Raikage is faster than bee, Minato is faster than Raikage, Juubi Madara was faster than Minato's FTG combo and Teen Sasuke was fighting on par with Juubi Madara. Adult Sasuke is significantly faster than Teen Sasuke and Adult Sasuke was equal to Kinshiki in speed. Notice how Bee is at the bottom of this speedster food chain I've created.

Even though I think Itachi manifesting susanoo after kirin descended was just for dramatic effect and not to be taken as a serious feat of speed because just a few pages earlier, Zetsu mentioned its impossible to for Itachi to avoid it. Anyways I digress, lets assume Itachi can react to kirin, that doesn't help him at all. It only means he can manifest Susanoo faster than lightning can strike, how would that help him exactly? Furthermore, Kinshiki can absorb chakra, Amaterasu would not work.
