- Your misperceptions are tremendously unrelenting. You've gone so far into a specific way of thinking about this jutsu, that you completely disregard how to properly anaylze the manga. How do you know what Zetsu is seeing here? 

- You don't seem to be correctly adding up things. If Tsukuyomi's damage is done the instant it starts (as you say), then why the hell would Itachi stand there maintaining eye contact after that instant? How stupid would Itachi be for that? He would have ample time to attack his opponent immediately after this so-called instant damage. If you're assuming (which you are) in real time, that Tsukuyomi lasts more than a second, then what reason would Itachi have to stand there wasting his chakra to maintain an illusion, the damage from which is already done?

If he is maintaining eye contact (in real time) for more than an instant, then it's FREAKING OBVIOUS the damage is being done over the duration of the eye contact. I can't even fathom why you're not getting this.
