But then you are giving Itachi prep time if you allow him to use Koto. Plus additional prep time for re-programming of koto for combat. You are confused between two instances, the first is the 30% shape-shifting technique Nagato used on Itachi, back when he fought team 7 with Chiyo. The second is when edo Nagato and Itachi fought Bee and Naruto.

In the second instance mentioned above, there is no speed feat for Itachi because, 1) Naruto and Itachi were trying to have a conversation, therefore they are not fighting full out and 2) One dodge from Samehada doesn't make Itachi a speed monster.

The first instance mentioned above showcased a clone shrugging off Itachi's genjutsu and furthermore no indication of a speed feat, since Kakashi was fighting quite fine.

Izumi is not canon, sorry. Koto should be allowed because the OP says aliveness with no sickness, not ‘before shisui dies’ or ‘without shisui’ eyes’. Likewise, the OP doesn’t state this fight takes place after he programed koto. Plus it’s no different from kakashi receiving obito’ sharingan. That said koto should force orochimaru to forfeit or tsukuyomi kills him. Like it or not, Itachi’ novel are canon. The speed feat does exist because they were fighting in that moment. Not many words were exchanged in those exact panels. No one called him a speed monster smh. You can’t debunk what’s literally handed to you on a platter in the manga.

Itachi has completed missions perfectly. In this regard he is unrivaled in efficiently. Even shikamaru has ran into unforeseen problems. So think about that and how Itachi has always been in control of the situations he’s put in.

This match ends faster than the Itachi deidara fight.
