How does that even work? I could grasp a plant releasing hallucination inducing spores or shit, but a plant actually casting genjutsu that's somehow controlled by a person? I don't get it. EDIT: Also what's with them with creating mutated characters all the time? They are either ugly or have extra limb or something. She said that she set the Cactus Genjutsu up in advance, so I'd assume she probably placed chakra inside it beforehand or something. Honestly, there are plenty of canon techniques whose methods of activation don't make a lot of sense either.

But on the topic of in-universe physics, it's sort of jarring going back to Part 1 logic where ninja can't jump higher than a waterfall and it takes three days to travel between two side-by-side countries. Toward the end of Part 2 we've seen ninja jump hundreds of meters into the air (onto Ten-Tails' head) and Taka travel across entire countries in the course of a single night (while walking at a casual pace, no less. At for least part of the way).
