Also, none of those characters would give them trouble. Sharingan genjutsu doesn't work on the Rinnegan, nor would it make sense for it too, and it has never been shown before, so don't include it. Also, are you suggesting that the other Tailed Beasts are incapable of dispelling genjutsu on Naruto? Itachi wont be able to touch them with totsuka blade and they can easily destroy the yata mirror and Itachi's susanoo as a whole. Zetsu claiming Itachi's susanoo was "invincible" is just him overhyping it. As for the rest you listed none of their techniques would work on them either. The only one who you listed who would have a chance is MS Kakashi with Kamui in both eyes and even then if they used their immense speed and teleportation to hit Kakashi just once he would be dead. They're both just too OP now.

Zetsu is probably the most reliable source of information in the series. He has seen EVERYBODY, he has existed since the time of Kaguya. He has seen her, Hagoromo, Hamura, Indra, Asura, Madara, Hashirama,etc and he said Itachi was INVINCIBLE while he had his Susanoo, Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror. Zetsu does not have any bias in terms of generations, since he has witnessed all the key ninja battles throughout the ages. You can't just say that Zetsu 'overhyped' Itachi, without any proof of this. Itachi's Yata Mirror has NEVER been broken by anything, His Totsuka blade has yet to fail in sealing anything.

How do we know that sharingan genjutsu has no effect on the rinnegan? Even with Kurama during the whole series, Naruto was never able to stop Itachi from placing him under a genjutsu and that was consistent throughout the whole series.

I am not saying that Sasuke & Naruto are over hyped (they are ridiculously powerful, and Sasuke is one of my favorite characters.), but you are underestimating the other characters of the series since they can't destroy continents in single blows.
