First off the explosion happened on top of water, not in water. And I don't recall any harm came to Itachi either who was a few feet from the clone. If the 3rd Raikage can not be disoriented by the explosion of the Rasenshuriken, than he ain't getting disoriented by that small ass explosion. The 3rd Raikage was not incapacitated for any moment. He got hit, the attack exploded and got right back up.

Actually Amaterasu worked on Nagato though until he pushed the flames off and yet he didn't shoot the Amaterasu at his face but his torso. Nagato wasn't expecting the attack. What was stopping Itachi from shooting it at his face? It sure would have helped to get rid of the Rinnegan quickly.

I never said Itachi's genjutsu is average, I said those ones specifically not requiring eye contact are because if that was the case, he would use those more often than Genjutsu: Sharingan. Please get your facts straight. Also, the 4th Raikage is not the 3rd Raikage either. Also, the 3rd Raikage's strength is way more powerful than the 4th. But while we are on the subject, the 4th Raikage was able to break the side of Sasuke's ribcage Susanoo with a simple chop. "Sasuke could've created an arm to grab the 4th Raikage", but he didn't, because he was too busy trying to find him and wincing in pain from overusing his MS. He'd most likely dodge the arm anyways like he did that lotus attack by Jūgo at point-blank range. I never said the 3rd won't get hesitated but it would be hard to given who has dealt with, facing 1000 shinobi and the 8-Tails itself.

Itachi also doesn't have high chakra reserves like the 3rd so by your statement, A dodging "all day" is totally fine but Itachi can't go on for a day, shoot he can't go on for an hour. And I never said speed is everything, but it is here and not to mention is high durability and high chakra reserves, while Itachi isn't so lucky. Do you have anything else to say on the matter?
