Sasuke got hit by Bee because he was arrogant and believed he could actually handle Bee's dexterous style; Itachi didn't "casually" evade Bee, he made him retreat within a few panels [

โThe body of the person touched by the "Chidori" will misinterpret the Lightning nature as "electrical signals from the nerves," making its muscles contract. This causes the body to involuntarily go stiff, while at the same time receiving damage.
The one who approaches this body will be attacked all over!!
This ninjutsu makes practical use of the "Chidori" by extending its attack range, in order to make use of the Lightning nature's special characteristic of "temporarily making the muscles of the touched person go stiff," and attempt to enfold multiple enemies. By releasing the "Chidori" in every direction, an electrical discharge flows from one's entire body. This allows one to attack everyone within a specific range. Also, when using this attack on a great number of enemies at once, it also effectively doubles as an instant defence.
*Chidori (ๅ้ณฅ) means "a thousand birds". It's from a story about a sixteenth-century military commander named Tachibana Dousetsu, who owned a sword named the Chidori. One day, he was struck by lightning while sitting under a tree. Acting quickly, he drew his sword and cut the Thunder God riding the lightning. This saved his life and after this incident, he changed the name of his sword from Chidori to Raikiri (้ทๅ, "Lightning Cutter").

That's the thing though. Kabuto only noticed Itachi coming at the last second because of the crows impairing him, which gave Itachi an opening to execute his Shunshin. Another thing thing you're failing to see is that Kabuto was in an upside down freefalling position, which would of course negate his mobility and limit his capabilities which he would be able to demonstate were he in a casual, standing position. The fact that Kabuto reacted at all is impressive, to be honest. Clone feints have a recessive theme in the manga where nobody sees anyone using it, despite being right in front of each other. Naruto, Itachi, Kakashi and even guys like Yamato used it without anyone noticing, it isn't really anything to hold against Sasuke. Anyways, you're correct in stating that he can bunshin feint Sasuke, which I admitted to. However I don't see him capitalising on it, not with full knowledge seeing as beforehand, Sasuke reacted to Itachi's blindsided presence before [

], albeit Itachi never attempted a blitz. However as soon as Itachi leaves Sasuke's LoS, he can call forth some snakes.Raiton variants such as senbon can dispatch clones from mid range and if Sasuke puts enough chakra into it, he can expand it's range making it impossible for them to dodge (

). Itachi in 3T is a close to mid ranged fighter, so at all times he's more likely to be within Sasuke's vicinity so his clones should get peppered through the sheer fact that they'd be way too close to dodge the overwhelming numbers, which can apparently go to thousands.Yeah, oral rebirth isn't something he can use a lot, if at all. I speak mainly of his ability to spawn snakes around him near instantly as he did with Deidara and even Itachi after using Bunshin surprise attack [

]. Kirin can be achieved through hovering to the skies in CM2, not much I see Itachi doing there. He can send crows, but Senbon would get rid of them all swiftly. I'd also like to believe Sasuke can genjutsu the snakes faster than Itachi did considering he did it to Manda nigh instantly when faced with C0, as well as Sasuke being the one who's actually summoning it.
