My point is, it was stated that people with keen minds were the best suited for using and countering Genjutsu. We know Minato has a very keen mind, and he's the caliber of Hokage.

If Obito didn't use Genjutsu, he knew that Minato would break free before it'd be useful.

Minato is a higher caliber Shinobi than Orochimaru, so yes I doubt that Genjutsu would inhibit Minato the same way as Orochimaru.

Danzo existed and survived through wars? Like Minato who existed through the Third Shinobi World War, and was cited as the reason they won at all? Cmon.

Are Ay, Cee, or Bee at Minato's level? No. Is Minato Sannin level? No. He's higher. And he's got a keener mind than any of those 3.

Why is Genjutsu even mentioned in this fight? Nagato isn't any notable user of Genjutsu.
