sage kabuto caught itachi in tayuyas sound genjutsu for a while.sasauke got him out so we dont know it itachi could have got out himself,he probably could.

also i'd like to add that while I.T. is extremely powerful,it does seem to have certain prerequisites that could be considered holes in it.eg it doesnt affect edos.i think this is because the purpose of I.T. is to subdue targets so that their chakra can be harvested,and i dont recall any shinju roots seeking out any of the edo hokage (could be wrong) despite their high chakra levels,leading me to believe that like an edo is like a shadow/ghost of the dead person ,the unlimited chakra provide by the techniques is also a shadow of sorts ,a sort of psuedo-chakra,therefore was not sought by the shinju.this implies that as per its purpose, I.T. only affects those with chakra,which could possibly be exploited.just a whimsical theory though.
