Itachi had to resort using Izanami on kabuto for the sole reason of releasing Edo tensei given the caliber of the technique I'd say it's very likely ephemeral or most Genjutsu wouldn't work against sage mode kabuto by Itachis actions. Besides he used Tsukuyomi once in the entire series last I checked wouldn't eye contact be more efficient than pointing at him? And tsukuyomi is still top tier Genjutsu at that.That proves nothing Itachi had to resort to Izanami since Kabuto disabled his eyesight and made most of Itachi's genjutsu useless in the process. Also, Itachi wanted to save Kabuto from himself. After, when Kabuto was caught in Izanami, Itachi still had to use Tsukuyomi to force him to release the edo tensei. So in total Itachi used Tsukuyomi four times, not just once. Since Ephemeral doesn't require eye contact, Itachi could have used it at the beginning of the fight, but didn't. That proves a lot.

Itachi is not faster than 6th gate Guy. You are taking Naruto blocking Itachi's attacks way out of context. Naruto wanted to talk to Itachi at that point, not fight him.

P.S. If you want to talk about proof and denial, make sure you actually check up on the things you are stating.
