Hashirama has way more stamina than Itachi and has the ability to counter any attack that Itachi throws at him. You keep on saying that totsuka blade will get everything, as if it is a given fact that the totsuka blade will hit in the first place. Hashirama has been fighting Uchiha's for years, so he is an expert on fighting them and knows how to deal with their genjutsu. Though Tsukuyomi is powerful, it is short range and it requires direct eye contact. In this regard it's requirements are just like any other sharingan based genjutsu, and for an expert like Hashirama, avoiding it would be like second nature.

Actually, breaking genjutsu only requires a re-disturbance in your chakra, as your chakra is already distured by the genjutsu caster. Also, Naruto not breaking out of Itachi's genjutsu does not say much. Naruto himself is not a genjutsu type and he did not put all of his chakra into breaking out. If he did, how was he then able to use big ball rasengan later?
