The reason being that you are forgetting that the biggest plot point of all Itachi's fights is that he is always secretly casting genjutsu from the beginning of the fight. Even sasuke with a trained sharingan didn't notice itachi's genjutsus until after the fact. I'm not forgetting anything, and Sasuke did notice. He fought back with his own Genjutsu until they both decided to finally do things forreal. As I very carefully said, Sasuke didn't counter the genjutsus until AFTER the fact. Please refer to my previous comment and you will see that I made that distinction. After he realized he was in the genjutsu, only then did he use genjutsu reversal. But If itachi was serious about killing him, he would have already exploited the fact that Sasuke was slow to realizing he was under genjutsu multiple times during that fight. Again, it took him a quite a few precious seconds to realize he was under genjutsu each time before he countered, and that was with an Itachi who was sitting casually in a chair just talking to sasuke, not trying to kill his precious younger brother. @Kakashi. Please do not take comments to other people that I write out of context. I wrote about how ITachi could deal with kurama breaking naruto free previously. To explain again, he would understand that naruto has a partner and would simply use genjutsu as a distraction. Again Kurama can't break naruto free instaneously, its been shown that Tailed Beast Partner method still takes time to go off and that leaves itachi openings.
