@Ninja Of War

actually, Itachi didn't use anything when he encountered Kabuto , even so Kabuto wasn't making eye contact at beginning at all due his cloak.

Itachi did prepared signs for something, but Kabuto told him that Sasuke won't just stand there, and that he might fail. So Itachi pulled his hand down.

Both in Manga and anime, there's no eye contact between them , even so , you have seen when Kabuto pulled his cloak over his head to preform his Sage Mode when he had to face them. You even have Sasuke commenting why he done that.

In other words there were no direct eye contact at all between them, while in fight Minato against Obito ,i have seen at least 5 eye contact chances.

EDIT: also Kabuto had almost all info over Itachi so it's no surprise that he didn't gave him a chance to do so.
