For me what happened was Itachi's plan. How?
He told Kabuto that he failed already, Why?
To force Kabuto to attack him and to let himself be cutted into half (which is I guess a Clone)
And now that Kabuto believe that Itachi is dead, Itachi can now take time to activate that jutsu (Izanami) from a distance.
Kabuto will not kill Sasuke, and Itachi knows that. So he left Sasuke to fight Kabuto for him to prepare or release his Izanami.
i also believe that the hand seal Itachi is doing here, will answer why he will still be in the next chapter.
