There was absolutely no need for Itachi to react to Kirin. All he had to do was watch Sasuke's hand and engage it the moment he pointed it down. The entire point of Kirin is that nobody is fast enough to react to it, but the fatal flaw is that you don't have to react to it, just to whoever guides it down.
