@Uchiha, take a chill pill man, no need to get so worked up. Plot is the reason for the argument you put forward, not everything. @Jin, Madara stated his intentions from the beginning of that fight and even told Hashirama before leaving the village that they would have a death match. This means they were both serious, and both had the intent to kill. @GreatestSin, if Sasuke really has that level of chakra reserves, then why does he need to cover up his rinnegan?

This is the reason that I say BoD will work on Sasuke: Ninja Of War wrote: Genjutsu are mental jutsus. Meaning your mind is being affected. So for bringer of darkness (BoD), literally the signals of the target's brain to and from the eyes are being blocked. There is physically nothing wrong with the target's eyes, they just can't use them. IT was a visual genjutsu, but BoD isn't. I also initially thought that it would not affect dojutsu users, but it is described as guaranteed to have this effect. To say otherwise is to disregard facts. let me explain to you how genjutsu works, it works by manipulating the enemy's chakra flow, Hashirama by using bringer of darkness is manipulating the chakra in Sasuke's eyes to change what Sasuke perceives, it's not stopping the signals in his eyes, it's altering them to cloud Sasuke's vision, all Sasuke needs to do is disrupt his own chakra flow to break free from Hashirama's BOD, he doesn't even need his dojutsu to break free from it. Hashirama is going to have a very hard time altering the chakra flow in Sasuke's eyes due to his Dojutsu.

also your not taking Sasuke's genjutsu skill into account here.
