@AsianReaper,

You didn't debunk it though. We don't know if Itachi was even trying to activate Tsukuyomi as soon as he activated Mangekyou vs Kakashi. It's explained in chapter 359 by Kisame that as soon as Itachi as Deidara looked into his sharingan he was in genjutsu. And Deidara saw Itachi's sharingan as soon as he opened his eyes.

There's nothing indicating that Zetsu reacted to kirin, but since Itachi activated Susanoo right before the lightning hit, he reacted to it. How could Itachi react to Sasuke's hand, if he's looking up at the lightning?
