well not very sure about this but itachi can keep up with high speed combatants, he was able to spar with NTCM Naruto who's speed is same as the 4th raikage.infact I believe it was only because of sharingan that he can see any attack coming before hand and is able to counteract in time even against much faster opponent.(just like sasuke was able to predict naruto's movement in VOTE when they fought for first time during sasuke's recovery mission) Also that rasenshuriken not affecting raikage during battle is a moot point since the technique doesn't cause huge physical damage (not comparable to what it does to internal chakra network)instead it destroys the chakra network(that's why tsunade was talking about it being more like a poison than some physical attack). so comparing his defence by stating this feat is obsolete since if he had been alive he would have definitely died because of a damaged chakra network even if his body survived the physical damage.
