@Ninja of War

After re-reading the war arc, I come to the realization that Bee was in fact effected by Itachi's Genjutsu and Gyuki did not break him free. In fact it wasn't until they realized it was Genjutsu when he was replaced by crows and he warned them. Reference = Itachi and Nagato vs Naruto and Bee. Also Itachi usually starts off with Sharingan active and a Genjutsu attack right off the back. Nearly every fight he starts off with Genjutsu, so the scenario you provided doesn't fit his style. So the scenario is:

Itachi and Menma would meet on the battlefield with no knowledge of who they were fighting. They know they must kill each other for whatever reasons. Itachi reveals his red hues to Menma and traps him in his Sharingan: Genjutsu due to him having no reasons not to look.

Menma doesn't just go full on Nine-tails off the back to just anyone. So there isn't a reason it'd be his second move, so the multiple enemy thing, isn't a likely scenario. Now I tried finding the chapter where Bee stated Genjutsu is ineffective to him (Which would be a contradiction since Itachi did get him later on during the war), but I cannot find it, can you provide it for me? Also that statement is kind of bull since Yagura was a perfect Jinchruiki but was controlled by Obito, a lesser Genjutsu user.
