Well, The fact that Both Kurenai and Asuma confirmed in that same chapter It was a Kage Bushin, not to mention that the Data Book info on the Jutsu also say it is a Kage Bushin should be enough to Get that Idea that this explosion was not a sudden water explosion.

Just the same, the clone Itachi exploded couldn't have been a Suiton bunshin since water itself has no solid physical form (unless of course frozen). I would assume that it was indeed a Kage Bunshin Itachi that had created for the explosion. How he did it is another question.

Its called like that, however, the one made by Itachi was a Kage Bushin. And I don’t see why is another question how he did it, as is Quite simple the jutsu is supposed to make a Kage Bushin explode, in this case, Itachi first create the Kage Bushin, and then He activates the Jutsu that makes the KB explode.
