I never said physical speed, I said reaction speed and in the manga panels shown Sasuke is a blurry spec to Itachi. I literally just went back and looked at the panels. Itachi was reacting to the change in light around him as Kirin was being summoned the entire area got brigher, and it was brightest right when Sasuke throw his hand down and Kirin struck Itachi at 1/1000th of a second. Itachi was already just about blind at the time, so this is a pure reaction feat on his end. For physical speed we can talk about him casually dodging B's Sword Dance that Sasuke could not escape or dodge and ended up getting stabbed up. Itachi also was going toe to toe in physical combat with Sage Mode Kabuto and only got hit when Kabuto did sneaky shit that nobody expected like shoot out of the snake body, or when Itachi was aiming to protect Sasuke mid battle. Physically Itachi's speed is Sage Mode Kabuto level over-all and even then Itachi was holding back as not to kill Kabuto the entire time while worrying about protecting Sasuke and with the added goal saving Kabuto halfway through. Not to mention Edo Tensei are still weaker than their living selves regardless in all ways.
