 * "Demonic Genjutsu Itachi used VS Orochimaru doesnt require eye contact."

I checked the wiki and it's references, it was nowhere stated, that this jutsu doesn't need eye contact. The third data book, a reference of this jutsu's page even stated that there are just 3 ways to cast a genjutsu. One is it to do the handseals and the other being through a medium like the Sharingan. That being stated, we did something similar from Itachi. During the recruitment of Deidara in Chapter 359 did Kisame state, that Deidara was right from the beginning on caught into Itachi's genjutsu. Itachi could have simply caught Orochimaru before he attacked him into a genjutsu as he probably didn't trust him. Let's not even forget that Itachi always had his Sharingan on, which is probably always on, because he doesn't trust the people of the Akatsuki at all.


 * "Itachi can cast genjutsu from far away and not be able to be sensed by sensor types."

It was stated, that Itachi casted Genjutsu outside the range of the sensory division, in a 1v1 can Minato still sense him and let us not forget, that this was pre MS Itachi. Itachi can't see that far anymore and is no sensor, this means that Itachi can't catch others from that far anymore. Itachi needs direct eye contact and independent of what Itachi would do, Minato always could avoid that, by teleporting during every dangerous approach to another location or simply Rasengan on Itachi or just by not looking directly into his eyes (the keyword her is directly). The moment Itachi seperates into crows couldn't Minato then just simply use  to kill the crows and break that jutsu? Him being adept with throwing Kunai's was seen too, so him not being capable of that is out of the question.

PS: could we pls stop using the "he is too smart to fall for this" arguments? Provide chapters of where we have seen him not falling for similar things and then use those as arguments, but stating that he wouldn't because of his high intellect is no good argument. Independent of how smart or intelligent someone is, he can still be tricked... Itachi, Minato and everyone else can be fool'd pretty easily as they assumed that Obito was a like around 100 yo dude.
