According to one of the Sasuke novels that was based on Sasuke right before he gets his MS(Don't remember the name right now) Itachi had his disease for many years and had been taking medication made at a village in order to survive long enough to die like he wants to.. it was implied in the novel that he only started going to that village after joining Akatsuki, so after age 13 we can assume is when he got his disease, so if Itachi wasn't diseased at the time of the clan massacre then him using more techs and MS techs isn't out of the question at all. I also went and read the Itachi Shinden Novels a few days or so ago, Jason was kind enough to send them to me in a personal message. Itachi only had any resistance from the Uchiha Police Force members he had knocked to the ground in the past, everyone else were civilians. If I remember correctly Itachi uses Tsukuyomi 4 times and Amaterasu 1 time in the 24hours during and after the massacre. He uses the 80 year Tsukuyomi on Izumi, then the 72hour Tsukuyomi on one of the Uchiha police force guys who's name I can't remember right now, and then a Tsukuyomi on Sasuke which by the way all of this is going nearly exactly as it does in the manga dialogue and all, with the only difference being the additions.. the 4th time is when he is leaving Konoha and Yoji Aburame tries to kill him.. Itachi uses Tsukuyomi on his insects and disables them all then uses Amaterasu on Yoji and his insects and insinerates them. He does not use any techs whatsoever after that. So that's 5 MS techs including the 80 year Tsukuyomi and apparently this was all before his disease which he contracted while in the Akatsuki. None of that contradicts his character or his abilities.
