Six Paths Chakra, the same chakra that Naruto also possesses What I was implying was that Naruto's TBM because he possesses Six Paths Chakra, just like Sasuke. No one is straight-up immune to genjutsu anyway. You can only avoid it, prevent it from being cast, block it, or break it if you're caught. Sasuke having the Rinnegan is not going to prevent him from being caught by IT without having a protective barrier, enhanced by Six Paths Chakra, like his PS. So if Sasuke's SPC-enhanced PS is able to block IT, then Naruto's SPS-enhanced TBM should do the same Anyway, IT is a visual genjutsu, which can be blocked only by a visual prowess of the same calibre, i.e. the Rinnegan. It was clearly stated that only the Rinnegan itself can give immunity to the IT. Also, remember that Susanoo is a visual jutsu as well, so when it's produced by the Rinnegan wielder, it presumably gets the Rinnegan properties too, which could explain how Sasuke managed to extend the IT immunity through it. But there's no evidence that just pure Six Paths Chakra is enough to grant the same immunity. I'm sure that Sasuke had a valid reason to warn Naruto that he'd been already caught in IT outside the Susanoo shield since Sasuke must've possessed enough knowlegde about Naruto's newfound powers, at least about him having SPC as well.

But yeah, there's that question if Sasuke really needed Susanoo to shield himself from IT or he could resist it on the open terrain as well thanks to the Rinnegan.
