Kakashi indeed did react to it, but he had the Sharingan, wasn't nearlyh blind and nearly dead, and was at full health. Itachi was on deaths door when he did this and as shwon from his perspective all he saw was a spec of a blur when he was looking at Sasuke up atop that stone structure. He could not see Sasuke's arms, the only thing he could see was extreme blurs and the level of light change. You all keep saying this "he choreographed it" bullshit, no all he said was that Itachi couldn't escape this one, and it was unblockable like Kirin then he says dissappear with the thunder. Itachi only saw the sky get brighter.
