I would think that using time dilation to compress days worth of illusions into seconds, is much more complex than using Sharingan genjutsu for one instance. Doesn't Tsukuyomi need to be maintained? As in, it's not continuous like Izanami, not needing input?

Sorry for the late reply, for some reason I thought your reply to chicken was to me and your reply to me was to chicken.

I don't think time dilation is more complex, at least not necessarily so. Let's take the illusion Itachi used on Kakashi for example, Itachi was just stabbing him over and over again, he didn't have to vary his actions after saying what he had to say the first time, it wasn't even in color. As far as being maintained is concerned, it probably doesn't need to be. From what I can tell Itachi puts in his initial burst of chakra for Tsukuyomi and that's it.

Even if we assume it is more complex, it won't stop Itachi from taking action while it's going on.
