@Kakashi. Dude, just where did I use the term "Blind Itachi fanboys"?

I'm agreeing with Ravenlot27.

And again, @Kakashi the whole point of the chapter was to show sasuke has advanced from a whole new level of skill and power to avenge his family. He's also the reincarnation of Indra in the story. He has the skills and power and comsidering what Itachi said he also has the blood.

But where does this knowlegde help him in a genjutsu stalemate? It's a battle of pure skill and power which already trained for. I mean it's like everyone is forgetting that sasuke is also a prodigy of the Uchiha clan.

@Narutopwnu7. The idea of a sharingan overpowering against Itachi's was even made in Kakashi's mind. that's two geniuses. Itachi already claimed that every jutsu has it's own weaknesses. Why would he even say that if he doesn't acknowledge his own jutsu's weakness?

Though even I made a little speculation about it. up above two of my latest posts theres a long one. you can find it at the bottom of the post. do tell your opinion about. :)

@Rachin123. As we know that there are two types of genjutsu in narutoverse. one is the regular one with the whole pshycological torture thing. while the other one is a genjutsu where the victim will not know that he is being influenced by a genjutsu. Both being very dnagerous. but the second one is the one where it's the most hardest to get out. Since they wouldn't they were in genjutsu, so they will not be able to use their genjutsu resistence tools,jutsus,etc. Since I already wrote about a possibility. that Itachi was trying to extract Orochimaru out.

He might as well know that his brother would break through the normal Tsukuyomi genjutsu. and so he needed something that seemed believeble so sasuke could spend the time in Tsukuyomi so to finally fall unconscious.

We already know that Sasuke could identify if a Tsukuyomi is 'watered down' since he's the only one to survive two such encounters.He also never acknowledge the fact that Itachi even tried a 'watered down version' of Tsukuyomi, even Obito never stated that. The only thing he stated was if Itachi wanted sasuke dead then he could be dead( Susanoo. Since it was the only thing that actually overpowered Sasuke)
