Oh yeah, I guess that did happen. Though Ao did say that it was impossible for Itachi to control that many scattered shinobi, but I guess the fact that they thought it might be him does hint at an ability to be able to multi-control shinobi.

Still, they were fodder. I don't think the partner method would be useless against Itachi if there were more than one established jonin fighting him.
