Why does reanimated Itachi bleed while using Ametarasu (Naruto, killerbee vs
reanimated Nagato, Itachi fight), while no other reanimated shinobi bleed when
attacked? For example, Minato didn't bleed when his arm got chopped off, and
third Raikage didn't bleed when he got struck by Naruto.

Why does a reanimated shinobi bleed?


They only bleed under special circumstances, a more notable one being when
Itachi started bleeding from the use of _Amaterasu._

From the wiki:

> Reincarnated bodies do not bleed, **except in those cases where blood is
> needed to perform the Summoning Technique.** (emphasis mine)

Reanimated shinobi do indeed bleed when under certain circumstances, such as
when the second Mizukage summoned a giant clam:

As we all know, with the exception of those who can access the Rinnegan's
_Animal Path_ , a blood contract is needed in order to perform the Summoning
Jutsu. However, reanimated Hiruzen Sarutobi and the second Mizukage are able
to perform this technique while using a blood contract. This is because
reanimated are able to attain it (their blood) in certain cases, like the ones
mentioned above.
