All he had was less than a millisecond to react, transport and solidify his chakra to form susanoo in that state. That's impressive if you ask me. Careful how you use the word 'instant' lol, because susanoo isn't instant (no time). Sasuke forming the lightning, jumping onto high ground, and monologue as he prepares to bring Kirin down is more than enough time for Itachi to prepare to conjure up Susanoo. As soon as Sasuke puts his hand down (which is not that fast), Itachi could easily summon his Susanoo. So no, it's not that impressive. I'm obviously being hyperbolic when I say "pretty much instant". What's impressive is how fast Susanoo was formed not Itachi taking a mental note to Sasuke's rather long setup and telegraphed move That was tsukuyomi, but I still don't get the point here. Him blitz kicking sasuke to the wall and him plucking Sasuke's eyes out are things that can be done to make the genjutsu remain subtle or to prevent detection that it's a genjutsu because there is not bullshit there like those in the finger genjutsu used on Naruto or the genjutsu used on Orochimaru/KillerBee. Things like Itachi evolving into Frankenstein or a toilet would make things obvious. Itachi never blitzed Sasuke before-hand and now all of a sudden he pinned Sasuke to a wall and that's not BS? The point of the genjutsu was to deal mental anguish, not trick the opponent. Just like Itachi plucking Sasuke's eye out, him blitzing Sasuke should not be taken seriously.
