I do believe Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu are unique to Itachi due to the fact MS will awake different techniques for each users, such as Kamui or Koto Amatsukami. The strongest point about Tsukuyomi is that it can manipulate the perception of time, so Hashirama's psyche can be tortured instantly before he can break Tsukuyomi. And Itachi, as a master of genjutsu isn't need eye contact to apply genjutsu like when he pointed at Naruto or counter Kurenai (jonin-class genjutsu user) with easy. And Amaterasu may be a counter to Mokuton, due to the fact that it has never been stopped from other jutsu but sealing technique. Amaterasu won't disappear so it will burn the forest constantly with Itachi only activated it once, which help him saving a lot of charka. And I don't think Mokuton Ryu can absorb Amaterasu. Sasuke can only use Amaterasu because Itachi give it to him, and transplanted Itachi's eye help his EMS level up Amaterasu to be shaped - Kagutsuchi. It's noted in databook Amaterasu is highest lv in Katon, and it can spread constantly Furthermore, there is no detail that Madara was better than Itachi in genjutsu. Madara's genjutsu feat was manipulate Kurama, and he can do the same as well as Sasuke. Or would you say Madara's genjutsu can beat KotoAmatsukami, which is a tie-level with Tsukuyomi. Itachi was believe to be one of the most powerful genjutsu user in Naruto, believed that he can manipulate people outside of Sensor Division's range. Obito marks his Tsukuyomi, alongside with Koto Amatsukami the most powerful genjustu of Uchiha (when fighting DAnzo i believe) His use of Susanoo is on a different lv compared to Sasuke or Kakashi (whom only get perfect form due to Obito being jinchuuriki) he uses weak form to do the most sufficient work His only disadvantage is the low amount of charka so he has no hope for long fight. But assuming Itachi at his edo tensei form (but not immortal), no sickness, no blind,..his charka amount would be like Sasuke with EMS (databook gave idea that his low charka was due to the sickness and he was dying day by day) Itachi would atleast tie in the end. Beside he still has Izanami, Izanagi (which Hashirama didn't see before cause Madara saved Izanagi to revive)
