Even after he tried to forcibly break it, Itachi still completely controlled all of his chakra. Itachi getting Naruto in a genjutsu is not as impressive as you're trying to make it out to be. People aren't suddenly immune to genjutsu by virtue of having a large chakra pool. You even said so yourself thay Naruto's chakra control sucked which is exactly the reason why he had difficulty breaking Itachi's genjutsu

This is the downplay I'm talking about. Literally go back to Part 1 and PLEASE reread the parts where they said ninjutsu/genjutsu are INCREASED in potency the more chakra you put in. Itachi has SHIT reserves, and he was on 30 percent of his chakra. Genjutsu, according to Jiraiya requires to forcibly control all the chakra in the target's cranial nerves. When naruto attempted genjutsu Kai, Naruto was trying to forcibly stop ALL the chakra flow in his body, and Itachi CASUALLY said no! Itachi literally controlled all his chakra, with just 30 percent strength. Sorry, but there is a MASSIVE difference in chakra between the two characters. Naruto's weaker chakra control does not suddenly make up for the massive disadvantage Itachi has. It's a testament to Itachi's chakra control. Put Itachi at 100 percent, and hell, make him healthy, and no one is breaking his genjutsu unless they are Hashirama level or have sharingan hax or partner method. He is the second strongest genjutsu user of all time for a reason. And don't act like Naruto's chakra control at the time is awful. It's not anything particularly great, but he still was able to make rasengans, the pinnacle of shape control, even if it required him to make a clone.
