Some overlooked, neat stuff:
It was twice indicated that Itachi has an unknown, huge-scale puppeteering genjutsu.
Shikaku believed only Itachi could possibly mimic the huge impact White Zetsu were having across the world.
Ao argue that it was too much, even for Itachi though. But screw Ao.
It was indicated that Itachi's Tsukuyomi can make puppets of even ridiculously strong & skilled ninja:
Kabuto closing his eyes throughout the battle lends more credit to Itachi's ridiculous genjutsu power.
It was twice indicated that his Tsukuyomi can literally kill people if Itachi wants.
Indicating Itachi has killed people with a glance before.
Even Kakashi knew Itachi had the capacity to do so, but chose not to for some reason.
Itachi is a highly mobile genjutsu user.
It was indicated that Itachi can predict and plan out every aspect of his fights.
Itachi's 'mind-reading' is perhaps his greatest and most overlooked skill.
"mind-reading"
"soul-reading" (note above, where Kisame refers to the mind as the soul as well.)
Itachi can curve kunai into even tiny blindspots (his enemies ALWAYS ought to avoid looking at him.)
Hell, Sage Jiraiya, Fuksaku, Shima, and smoke bombs were having a rough time finding those blinspots:
His hands are so fast that Sharingan Sasuke needs the lightning-draw-summon just to counter:
And not to pile on, but Itachi also made a clone during all this that was too fast for Sasuke to see.
And Zetsu said Itachi was moving slower than he normally did.
His clones/shunshin are likewise impossibly fast (Kurenai called him superhuman in this regard.)
Implying greater short bursts of speed than the Sharingan.
His speed can give multiple full-Sharingan users & perfect Sages a bit of a hassle.
The author shows off his shunshin every so often, but Bee's the best example.
His first shunshin was the coolest though:
His katons are actually exceptionally fast and strong:
He's a genius medic nin?
Part 1 Kakahsi could barely keep his Sharingan active for a few minutes.
But Itachi got a crow to just chill it, and even use base genjutsu & the Mangekyō?
Could Itachi have made his own medicine that extended his life?
He's a genius fūinjutsu user & inventor?
Obito has all of Madara's knowledge, and yet Itachi's sealing of Mangekyō traps amazed & baffled him?
Itachi was using multiple Mangekyō jutsu at 13?

Itachi is a highly mobile genjutsu user.
Against Bee, we see Itachi use genjutsu mid-air while throwing kunai (still angled downward.)
Pretty much nobody but perfect Jinchūriki or elite Sharingan user would escape that in time.

His katons are actually exceptionally fast and strong:
WHAT, LILT? SAKURA DODGED THAT SHIZNIT!
30% Itachi's katon (clearly smaller, likely slower)
Sakura:
Their reaction speed:
Snake Sasuke (with Curse Seal) didn't dodge, and even his CS2 wing was damaged.
100% Itachi's katon (roughy three times larger, maybe three times faster)
Killer Bee didn't dodge. Samehada was pissed off.

Itachi was using multiple Mangekyō jutsu at 13?
He says they all awoke that day (Sasuke's Amaterasu, Susano'o, etc. awoke intermittently.)
After killing his clan, he used Tsukuyomi on Sasuke (and didn't seem tired.)
Obito says Itachi used Amaterasu to kill Uchiha members (Danzō saw Itachi use it as well, evidently.)
Keep in mind, 13 is an age when sand-armor no jutsu is draining for someone with a "4"
