Of course, it's obvious that Madara doesn't specialise in genjutsu, unlike Itachi/Shisui, but as an MS-wielding Uchiha, he automatically must be knowledgable about it, as well as able to withstand it. Sasuke doesn't prefer genjutsu in his general battlestyle too, yet it doesn't prevent him from being able to see through and dispell it, as seen in the fight against both Itachi and Chino.

No, TB isn't instaneous. Oro couldn't do anything against it because of two reasons a) eight-headed snake was a huge construct unable to dodge b) Oro didn't even care, since he thought it was just some regular chakra sword. Oro couldn't do anything about it in his state back then, but he didn't try anything at all.

Oro didn't even try to device some plan or strategy, simply rushing forward with his eigh-headed snake without a second thought. It seems that Oro just thought he would fight Itachi until the latter collapses, since Itachi already was on his limits while Oro could constantly renenerate himself. How should he know that Itachi possesses some magical sealing artifact he never found?
