Yep, Itachi is not a genjutsu, Sasuke has never used a genjutsu, more like, what I think, is that Itachi is coming back from dead to promised what he said to Danzou years ago: "If you touch Sasuke, I will reveal the truth..."

So, he's coming back, for a while, until Danzou wins or loses, to reveal the TRUE story. Not Danzou's, not Madara's, Itachi's mother****in story.

Neither of these. Itachi used a technique called Izanagi which allows him to materialize using Naruto's and Sasuke's chakra. That's my theory.

But I disagree with one thing: Sasuke used Genjutsu before; On Bee. That was Tsukiyomi.

Itachi's appearance in the fight between Sasuke and Danzo is an illusion. Several reasons pointing to it can be found in the manga chapters, if one looks hard enough. Firstly, Itachi coming back from the dead...now, that is not an impossibility in the Naruto world, but several characters, namely Madara Uchiha, have clearly stated Itachi is dead.

Take chapter 401, page 15 from onemanga: "he had to fight you...and die before your eyes."

Chapter 462, page 8: "that's the truth about Itachi. He died for Sasuke, and for Konoha."

Chapter 396, page 7: "but for now, we need to get Itachi's corpse, and leave immediately."

With this, we can conclude that Itachi appearing is simply an illusion. Now, if Itachi indeed was resurrected somehow, only a very few number of characters would be able to do it. For one, Chiyo, grandmother of Sasori, could if she actually wanted to, but she died long before Itachi did, because she used her resurrection technique to revive Gaara.

But also, it would be random for Chiyo to revive Itachi even if the timeline worked. Why would she do that? It's not like she has any relation to him, and she doesn't know the truth about him to begin with anyway.

The other character who would be able to revive Itachi would have been Nagato, with his Rinne Tensei technique. Nagato did indeed die after Itachi did, but as with Chiyo, Nagato had no relation with him. Nagato was able to only use his Rinne Tensei technique once, and he used it to revive all those he killed when he attacked Konoha. So, the possibility of him reviving Itachi no longer works. As it does not with Chiyo.

But, there is a point I want to make. Itachi appearing in chapter 477 might not have been under Sasuke's own free will. Remember, as Madara said earlier, Itachi implanted all of Sasuke's eye techniques into him, so maybe the result of using Amaterasu, or even the sight of one of Danzo's Sharingans, would cause Itachi to appear, as sort of a fail-safe Madara mentioned in chapter 397.

Sasuke doesn't even have a reason to let Itachi appear as a Genjutsu to scare Danzou.. This would be fatal, since Danzou can't be affected by Genjutsu that easily.

Maybe Sasuke is trying to get inside Danzo's head and mess with him. Itachi has never shown a face that angry before I don't think. Danzo was obviously afraid of Itachi and also respected his abilities since he ordered Itachi to kill the strongest clan in Konoha. So it could be that Sasuke is messing with him. Or maybe Itachi cast the illusion from within Sasuke or something. Cuz if that theory about Itachi being split into two parts is right then how could he return without the other part? Either way, I don't think Itachi is physically there.

It appears that Itachi's soul has taken over Sasuke's body. The crows actually didn't emerge, it was Sasuke who actually disappeared :S

So half of Itachi's soul is stronger than Sasuke's whole soul? That's lame... Sasuke's goal has been to surpass and kill Itachi for most of the series. It seems like he's not even close.

If you think about it, the crows are indeed Itachi's trademark O_O;;
I believe that Naruto's incident and Itachi's appearance are linked.. Maybe the one part calling the other or something.. Just guessing around lol
