"Ao states that Itachi Uchiha was the only person with the kind of prowess to even take control of someone outside the range of their sensors, but also states that even for him it'd be impossible to be controlling so many persons at once." Approved by the translators here apparently since it is on Ao's page. Meaning Itachi if he wanted to could control multiple people with eye contact from such a distance that they wouldn't even know he looked them in the eye. Only Itachi and in the anime Shisui can do this.
