Itachi can't spam anything, and since Genjutsu is useless on a clone he probably won't use it when Naruto has clones out and he can't tell which is which. @AsianReaper That is a situational counter. The reason being that you are forgetting that the biggest plot point of all Itachi's fights is that he is always secretly casting genjutsu from the beginning of the fight. Even sasuke with a trained sharingan didn't notice itachi's genjutsus until after the fact. Deidara failed to notice it until after the fact, Killer Bee didn't notice it until after the fact. Sage mode Kabuto had no clue he was under izanami either until it was too late. ITachi is that skilled when it comes to genjutsu. Also, the two times it was used against Naruto in the anime he fell under itachi's genjutsu from the very beginning. It doesn't matter how many shadow clones naruto makes if he cant't distinguish genjutsu from reality. Proof of this is that he tried to make shadow clones and rasengan a 30 percent Itachi clone at the beginning of Shippuden and ended up hitting trees instead because he was under genjutsu. what good did shadow clones do him then? Also, Itachi's tsukuyomi can actually work against naruto's shadow clones. It is stated that when a skilled shadow clone user poofs his shadow clone, he gets all the mental experience the clone received. That means if itachi tsukuyomi's a clone and then kills it, the horrific mental experience will travel to the real naruto and knock him out. It's also been shown that naruto was unable to resist Itachi's genjutsu even after being aware he was in the genjutsu without external help. Are.You.Forgetting.About.Kurama?
