 * He needed to defeat Sasuke in order to bring out Orochimaru. In the end, Sasuke was out of chakra, out of ideas and Itachi still had fighting spirit, chakra and a powerful jutsu left. Itachi won the battle.

This is proof that the genjutsu can be altered as the user see fit. Uh, he did use tsukuyomi ;_; the last part after Kabuto was already under Izanami. He use tsukuyomi on Kabuto commanding him to reveal the signs that are necessary to release edo Tensei'-'/ there it was used as a command type jutsu..it's alter-able.
 * Uh? Itachi never used Tsukuyome against Kabuto. That was Kotoamatsukami. A jutsu which works very differently. It's easy to break, the difficulty is discovering that you're under it in the first place. As for Tsukuyome:

See the trend? Obviously the last 2 times didn't work (Kakashi was really a clone and Sasuke broke out), but it's consistent. Um Kakashi only got caught once, the genjutsu used on kakashi's clone wasn't tsukuyomi ;_;
 * Ms is needed and that 30% clone of itachi didn't had access to MS.

 * There's a difference between the power and effect of a genjutsu though. Genjutsu is a foreign control over your chakra flow. What the genjutsu shows has no effect on this. Genjutsu is broken if the victim's ability to rouse chakra is greater than this foreign control. Obviously the victim's mental state influences how well they can rouse their chakra etc, but it has no effect on the actual power of the genjutsu.

Thekillman wrote: Yea basically.
 * Mental struggles are typically depicted as physical struggles in the mental plane. Like Naruto v Kurama for instance. Seems to me that a bind is simply meant to depict that the genjutsu is strong.

Thekillman wrote: Note that space manipulation happens against Kakashi with Tsukuyome, indicating Itachi thought he couldn't mentally break him, whereas against Sasuke he doesn't but uses hellish visions instead. The first line. To summarise what i was trying to say: when a hold is present the gjutsu becomes more difficult to overcome, your physical self is being confused with your mental self (your mental self which is placed on hold) Naruto wasn't on any hold, so he was free to clap his palms together to try to break it, say if itachi had included a cross, naruto's action (trying to break) would've certainly been different. when sasuke used genjutsu on Cee, he was forced to see himself being squeezed by a susanoo, his same stance in the genjutsu world was also made in reality.
 * Bindings tend to leave the victim free to think but not act. We've seen other illusions that tend to alter the victim's perception but not movement (e.g. forest illusion, extra Sharingan on their hand). Then there are genjutsu that alter a victim's mental state (sheer terror induced by visions, e.g. Itachi against Sasuke).

Don't think and eye rip and getting stabbed for 3 days falls in the same planet. Um, it was still total mental strain, intertwined with emotions. I mean getting to watch your parents getting slaughtered over and over inside your head for 24 hours i think, with your surrounding being red, and you in the center spinning.....that's kinda too much for one to handle ;_O
 * Kakashi didn't have the necessary pre-reqs to escape Tsukuyomi.... Sasuke actually experienced a Tsukuyomi that he wasnt harmed inside of but still needed Tsunade to heal him so this point is awkwardly moot.

@KingLink15 I did'nt really confirm it,if the episode was canon or not..but what you said makes sense...he had to die in battle at an early age and not old age ;_;
