For all the preaching you're doing of "getting our facts right", you're also deliberately getting some wrong just to prove your point. Aside from Ephemeral and Izanami, Itachi cannot use genjutsu without eye contact. He's just so good at it that he can use it seamlessly, without the enemy even noticing. Like how he genjutsu'd Deidara the very moment they met and then made good on his genjutsu once Deidara tried to attack him. Also how, in the anime filler (though I'm not sure if this was in the Itachi Shinden novel), he put two ANBU under genjutsu the first time they met and then used that genjutsu once they tried to attack him. Also, Itachi did not react to lightning. At least give specifics. Itachi reacted to Sasuke guiding a lightning thunder with his hands - while the lightning thunder itself was impossible to evade, Itachi could have easily kept track of Sasuke's movements.
