His shared vision was blinded by Itachi with multiple Kunai instantly, so yes he was blindsided as Itachi can activate Susanoo and use SoT faster then even Kirin strikes which is 1/1000th of a second. So the smoke, the blinding of the shared vision and the absolute speed of Itachi's Susanoo is what blindsided and stabbed Nagato before a thing could be done. Nobody would have been able to dodge that considering it is faster than natural lightning.
