Did Sasuke really see through Itachi's Tsukuyomi?

To my knowledge, never was it stated either in databook and in the manga that tsukuyomi can kill. When Sasuke got hit by tsukuyomi, Zetsu even said it will "only" handicap him

Kisame stated he was suprised Kakashi is still alive, thus implying that he's never seen someone survive a full powered tsukyomi before

It was a translation error. Kisame never said that, but instead said he was surprised he didn't have a mental break-down after receiving the jutsu

Right, and just about every translator states the otherwise, but you choose to trust naruto wiki?

and You're arguing that genjutsu can't kill?


Kakashi is an experienced jonin, been in wars and he's highly intellectual

and yet he state "Why didn't he just kill me"

Didn't and not doesn't, didn't implying past and thus meaning during the time the illusion started and ended.... considering the illusion ended in an "instant" , he's obviously speaking of the genjutsu , as it was the only thing preceding the statement


conclusion - In the naruto world, genjutsu can kill

^^Sure genjutsu can kill. People had heart attacks for less.

Wiki-source is the japanese script, so i think it's at least more believable. Not only that, but even the viz disagree with you. So i don't know what you mean by "every translation". This is what the viz says about it

[QUOTE="Viz]Kisame: Hm....after all that the fool's spirit is intact...meanwhile you've overused those eyes of yours, you know that's dangerous.[/QUOTE]

You can get it on this topic:

Concerning Kakashi's statement, obviously he would say that. He was at Itachi's mercy after receiving that genjutsu. He could even barely move. Reason why he is suprised he didn't take the opportunity to kill him

Edit: Oh shit it seems i can't link things from narutoforums -_-'

I think Itachi didn't use his best Tsukuyomi. Though, Sasuke being able to break through it only using his 3 tomoe sharingan is a great feat.

No I'm sure he was obviously referring to Tsukuyomi.. because he said it right after tsukuyomi was over

Itachi's a tier stronger in genjutsu skill, and had better eyes.

Hence Zetsu's statement about Sasuke being more skilled was wrong.

Itachi LET Sasuke win, as it was stated he planned everything about the fight.

This should all be obvious...

I honestly don't think any form of genjutsu can kill. It can alter the mental state drastically to the point the person is a brain dead vegetable but kill? i doubt it.

OT: yes sasuke broke it.

It is obvious. But itachi wanted to use tsukuyomi, play abit, and brain wash sasuke push him to a limit etc.
He couldnt, CM ( aka SM) was reason for that, sasuke enhanced his sharingan and won genjutsu battle.
Clearly not everything went as itachi planned.

Yes I believe Itachi allowed it. He planned the entirety of the fight to the teeth. Imo I feel he let him break it.

This doesn't make sense. Tsukuyomi, at its best, takes only an instant.

Meaning that foreign chakra (even from a Curse Seal) would be too late, because it would arrive the following instant.

So if that is indeed what happened then Itachi purposefully loosened up his time-manipulation.

agreed, owarji knows what he's talking aboout, if he held tsukoyumi for maybe another 2 days kakashi would have been finished

It does not take a instant when some1 is able to resist being caught into it. Sasuke delayed it with base sharingan and on the verge of loosing used CM and broke it very same moment. Even itachi was surprised. And itachi isnt the one to fake weaknesses or give fake praises

He never actually used the Curse Seal. When the genjutsu is lifted, he isn't even in CS1 when a moment before he was in CS2.

Going by this logic, none never used anything, but genjtsu battle follows real capabilities of the user. Otherwise one can create image of juubi and win?
