@Jason

Actually, I'll concede on that one since you are technically right about that specific part being A Canon. However, seeing as the Manga doesn't present a Point A to point B case, and the anime does; since it doesn't conflict with the series, I hold it at a higher value than fan theories of it being near instant. Meaning, I'd rather trust A Canon than no Canon.

I also don't see the relevance to Rasenshuriken. Care to explain how it that stays on topic before I give my opinion on it? I don't want to stir the discussion off topic.

Also, about the clone not being affected by Genjutsu. I remember debating it with @War before, I believe. From what I recall he believed the same thing as you and even interpreted that very chapter as you do. I disagreed. There have been times where I debated and eventually came to the conclusion I was wrong. But i still don't see that interpretation.

I see a shadow clone shown to be affected in a Genjutsu (it literally shows the clone in the illusion, being turned to paper and then lit to ash). This too me, shows me a clone can be affected. As for Itachi's statement, I take "you" being referred to the real Kakashi, and "this" being referred to a Shadow Clone. I kind of see it as conflicting that he would switch from "you" to "this". He went from associating the clone to a human being to an object? I just don't see it.

I also like to point out that Itachi used Genjutsu on a Shadow Clone of Naruto before and that it worked on the clone in chapter 366. Naruto and the others were tasked to find Itachi, who would lead them to Sasuke cause he was searching for him at the time. Kakashi stated from the gecko that Naruto wasn't allowed to be by himself due to the Akatsuki which is why Hinata and Yamato had to accompany him when they split up to look for Itachi prior to 366. After a few things went down, they grouped up with the others and Kiba found Sasuke's scent. So they went on to look for Sasuke and track him down. Sasuke and Hebi were onto them and somehow spread their scent in multiple directions. Naruto utilized Shadow Clones to go to each possible scent. In 366, one of the clones encountered Itachi. The real Naruto was still with the full platoon of Kakashi, Sakura, Hinata, Kiba, Yamato, etc shown in chapter 371.
