Then check the anime if you're having a hard time understanding what the manga artist was trying to portray. I explained in my comment why Itachi retreated ,the manga shows why he retreated, his goal was the crow at that time. I provided the scans to show you that Bee overcame sasuke in speed with the same move, but failed to do the same with Itachi, that is the question here, and that is what you turned a blind eye to.

I acknowledged your reply, countering it saying Itachi didn't aim for a vital spot omg...it is a fact that he wasn't trying to kill kabuto.
