Seen some people talk about how Dance of the Seedling Fern would be a problem for Itachi. I don't think it would. Since you infuse chakra with calcium for Shikotsumyaku (and therefore Kimimaro's dances), Itachi would logically be able to see the chakra underground before the attack occurs, similar to when Sasuke did this against Deidara - who's justu style is also revolved around a kekkei genkai -. Of course, it's somewhat headcanon, however it makes perfect sense that this would be the case.
