@Nightguy76 Nagato displayed he had knowledge on Itachi's abilities. There's a difference between looking in Itachi's eyes and looking at him.

And there's no indication that the Genjutsu stopped. Jiraiya said that the Genjutsu operated by paralyzing the opponent's nerves and mind. The Pain bodies were last seen "drowning" in the Genjutsu, before they were all stabbed.

@Jason Nope, the Sound Genjutsu didn't affect Nagato despite the fact that his and the Paths of Pian's hearing is linked. Visual Genjutsu wouldn't work either.
