If a single second passed, and it only moved a dozen feet; that means it's less than the speed of sound which can move 1.1 feet per millisecond. Now regarding you choosing the anime's presentation over the manga's i'll now have to recap there,seeing as how there are a few chapters that looks kinda similar to what we're talking about.(THIS IS REGARDING THE MANGA NOT SHOWING AN OBJECT TRAVELING FROM ONE POINT TO ANOTHER)... Looking at chapter 672 (the nigh moth), just when Madara was about to finish off Gai with his TSB, we get to see it travelling BUT didn't even reach it's destination even after 3 panels, which means the TSB in this case is much slower (look at the distance as well..not much). Now on chapter 638 (obito the juubi jinc) we have one panel showing Obito staring at hashirama and then suddenly Obito is right next to the hokages in the next panel, already striking them down in a flash. Now either you might accept that obito is fast, or you can use your previous argument as say that Juubi obito is slow and that the manga just didn't show Obito moving and he could've been doing so whilst the hokage were speaking. Now remember the anime needs extra scenes to make up for screen time AND as you know it: manga>>anime. It's how the author wanted it to be portrayed, i mean why not just add an extra panel showing the movement of susanoo? he didn't..i rest my case.

Anything less than the speed of sound in the Narutoverse in my opinion, is slow. Even Kakashi can react to Lightning for example. In order for it to be as fast as sound or faster, it has to be able to hit the target before a single second can pass. The reason being is they aren't even over a hundred feet apart. Even if they were over 500 feet apart, that would make the sword half the speed of sound. Sound can move up to 1100 feet each second. Itachi's sword can only move up to a couple dozen feet each second. Therefore, it is slow too me. you can't really judge the blade using ft per sec, but can use mph instead, mach 1 equals to 800 mph i think...which doesn't matter because we have no way of calculating both. SO INSTEAD use the juubi obito statement?

Further evidence is that Orochimaru is able to speak before the blade struck him. Therefore the sound from his lips was faster than the sword. Using anime? check manga now ;_; in the panel that shows the blade already through orochimaru's gut there lies the speech balloon..so it can be he uttered that word after being struck
