Been gone from this for a hot sec, so if I miss an argument I'm sorry but just quote yourself and repeat it or whatever and I'll give my take on it. But picking up where this thread is right now:

@Jason it's entirely not established as far as I know that different uses of Tsukuyomi require different amounts of chakra. Not at all.

Also regarding your argument that Tsukuyomi requires more chakra than Amaterasu, you said Itachi use it 5 times against Sasuke? It honestly looked like twice. Once to beat Sasuke's fireball and another to chase him down. Lemme know if I missed one.

For all anyone knows, Itachi had that Transcription Seal ready from the get go; as in, it didn't take up his current chakra, he sealed it up beforehand. Considering Itachi's nature, that seems likely since he was obviously right about to die, and being that close to death means using such a large percentage of your chakra is unlikely.

Also since you wanna argue your canon vs headcanon or whatever, where is it stated that different uses of Tsukuyomi require different amounts of chakra? (I say this all brashly but honestly idk if it might've been mentioned somewhere, do tell).

Anyways @anyone who believes Itachi can use Tsukuyomi to kill, IF Tsukuyomi requires more chakra the more potent you make it, why did Itachi use the most taxing version to kill one person during the entire massacre of the Uchiha? Literally using it to make 3 days made him deactivate his Sharingan, but you're telling me in the task of wiping out his clan, he wasted all that chakra for one person? He risked that much instead of just ending it quick. Not to mention he knew he was going to be speaking to Uchiha "Madara" afterwards, so he's gonna taz himself that much to the point where he's basically zeroed out when talking to the shame of the Uchiha? And instead of thinking ahead like he normally does and knowing he'd need to wipe out Madara since Madara could easily walk in and out of the Leaf in the event of Itachi's death, he uses up his big jutsu on one clan member.

That's the most un-Itachi thing I've ever heard. He's literally all about sacrificing for the greater good. Surely he'd not waste his opportunity to merk Madara (who again, can just waltz into Leaf once Itachi dies) on giving a clanmate a happy end as opposed to a quick and painless end. "He loved her" Uh yeah but apparently he had the big-picture mindset of a Hokage from age 7.
