Finger genjutsu needed sakura(who has the best chakra control in konoha) and chiyo(an excellent medical ninja who fought hanzo and tsunade)to break naruto out of it. And hiruzen is neither a genjutsu user nor medical-nin. YOU cant assume here. Hiruzen was "10 yrs late" to beat orochimaru as stated in DB. Orochimaru said itachi was stronger than him. We cant go with baseless assumptions, medical ninjas are the best chakra-controllers in the series and naruto needed 2 of them to break it. Even after they broke it, the effects of the genjutsu stayed...read that chapter once again. The conditions for breaking non-ocular genjutsu is having chakra control superior to the user and hiruzen has never shown superior chakra control compared to itachi, so its safe to state that itachi, who has the most complex genjutsu in narutoverse-tsukiyomi, has better chakra control than hiruzen.
