@Trappedinmygenjutsu. 1. It does not make any more sense on him to use tsukuyomi if he doesn't want to gain anything from it.

Though Itachi's core goal was for Sasuke to kill him, I expect it was something he wished before Sasuke had Orochimaru at risk of possesing him. Now it was more of between risking his beloved brother's life for something he wished to hide or just straight out make Oro get out of him or make Sasuke release Oro out of him. the second idea seems more applicable seeing that it doesn't lay the risk of his brother being possesed by a immortal creepy Snake guy forever since he would atleast die and be saved from him.

There can also be a chance of Itachi just straight away making Sasuke think that's he's in real life fighting him and so in the end of the tsukuyomi he will kill him. cause you know the genjutsu seemed to be more real based for a reason(other then the famous Watered down version of Tsukuyomi which I don't believe at all) and then he might as well supply him off alot of Amaterasu seals other than just one considering Itachi's smart and so would expect 'Madara' to escape from that one, and also taking that he did the last one when he was able to get enough close to Sasuke and when he only had that much chakra left for him. and maybe also prepare something for Danzo since he knows that Danzo could be a danger to Sasuke, he could have used more seals for Danzo too.

So it seems possible for him to do so and also considering there's a possible way for extracting Oro out of CM users, seeing that Sasuke even used it and that Itachi's a genius and would also search for ways to save his beloved brother.

2.Actually we haven't.Tsukuyomi at it's strongest was possibly with Kakashi or Sasuke(though I think the reason Sasuke got a 24 hour tsukuyomi instead of a 72 hour was because of maybe his uchiha blood resistence) the one you're talking about happened in a novel. in which even in it's anime version it wasn't shown. and we already how much non canon stuff they have and yet they didn't think it was to animated, so there''s that. And her sharingan was not compared to a guy who trained his whole life under the two geniuses. and was pure Uchiha and the closest blood relative possible and a reincarnation of Indra. Oh and I think the girl you're mentioning is Izumi right?

3.It still was different from his other two and so had to be noticed if it was watered down that is. He should know about it.

4.Tsukuyomi itself doesn't actually kill the target. If the target has a sharingan then he very well can atleast survive it long enough to be treated for it. Remember in the Tsukuyomi, Sasuke really shouldn't have known that he was in a Tsukuyomi. So Itachi very well could have done many things to save his brother and not reveal the truth.

But this all doesn't actually explain the Amaterasu part, where he literally ignited his brother with the highest level of fire release jutsu, black flames that cannot be put down.

5.Why would it be suspicious? it can easily be ignored with the reason of eye contact. Sasuke could just speculate that he wasn't able to make clear enough eye contact. Every single shinobi uses only a small amount of jutsus for their uses even if they have alot more. like Kakashi. He could also just think that it was due to low chakra and all.

I don't see the need of using Tsukuyomi if it suppose to be a watered down version. Though I don't see how it wouldn't be suspisious for Itachi to fall down all of a sudden from Susanoo and then poke at Sasuke's forehead smiling and saying that he is sorry and that there won't be a next time? and wouldn't Sasuke be suspicious about suddenly using Amaterasu out of nowhere at 'Madara'.

And anyways, it wasn't like Itachi had other plans, like sealing his brother and preparing koto for changing Sasuke.s
