But you can always break it using pain or disrupting the chakra flow that's disrupting yours. Susanoo is a different story. And destroy her I don't think so and if he'd have to rely on his big moves to stop her it questions how strong a foe she must have been to make him do such a thing. Its your opinion but its not a fact he'd destroy her. And you got to think about in their point of view. What would they do. What would be going through their heads. Don't just make them act on something they normally wouldn't do. For instance. Sasori starts of with 100 puppets. If he felt it was needed than yes but act on their personality and actions. Like Kisame who likes to toy with his prey. If he's not careful he could get hurt depending the person but that's how he is.

Itachi is MUCH faster than Tsunade. Tsunade's speed was ranked at a 3.5, while Itachi's was ranked at a 5. Remember, in Part 1 Kakashi couldn't even really follow Itachi's speed, and at that time Kakashi's speed was ranked at a 4 AND he had a 3-tomoe Sharingan.

I don't think you're considering the nature of genjutsu enough. Sure, it's easy to say that genjustu can be broken through pain, but the true horror of genjutsu is that your opponent is the one controlling your sensory input (that's what genjutsu is, after all). Any pain you try to inflict on yourself, especially in complex genjutsu like Itachi's, is pretty much not available.

Regardless, how am I saying that Tsunade would be doing something different? Tsunade's main combat style is direct, in-your-face taijutsu, right? As I said in my last post, that type of fighting style alone is almost useless against Uchiha, especially the most talented ones, given their Sharingan, speed, and, for those who have it, Susanoo, which each render Tsunade's skillset effectively useless.
