you forget Sasuke only barely had enough chakra for the chidori and that was only to initiate and gain control over the Kirin. Itachi couldn't see Sasuke only that tad bit of chakra he had left. He can hear Sasuke. Itachi only SAW the light changes. Still a reaction feat because "1/1000th" of a second strike, blocked by a dying and nearly blind man showing he his reaction and timing were just about perfect despite the circumstances. You can paint it however you like to fit your headcanon but it won't change the facts. It is a legitimate feat.
