- Your misperceptions are tremendously unrelenting. You've gone so far into a specific way of thinking about this jutsu, that you completely disregard how to properly anaylze the manga. How do you know what Zetsu is seeing here? 

- You don't seem to be correctly adding up things. If Tsukuyomi's damage is done the instant it starts (as you say), then why the hell would Itachi stand there maintaining eye contact after that instant? How stupid would Itachi be for that? He would have ample time to attack his opponent immediately after this so-called instant damage. If you're assuming (which you are) in real time, that Tsukuyomi lasted more than a second, then what reason would Itachi have to stand there wasting his chakra to maintain an illusion, the damage from which is already done?

If he is maintaining eye contact (in real time) for more than an instant, then it's FREAKING OBVIOUS the damage is being done over the duration of the eye contact. I can't even fathom why you're not getting this.

- Also, the time isn't the biggest factor to the damage done--whatever terrifying thing the victim witnesses if the biggest factor. The time distortion is probably the second biggest factor and only functions as a multiplier for the quality of the terror. If Itachi puts you under a 72 hr long Tsukuyomi in which you only see dolphins, rainbows, and puppies playing in a field of lillies on a sunny spring day, then you're probably not going to feel ANY pain at all coming out of Tsukuyomi (unless you hate dolphins, rainbows, and puppies). Get how that works?
