I’ve seen enough of these stupid reasoning that genjutsu can one shot Minato. Some will say that there’s no way for Minato to defeat Itachi because if he will not look in to the eyes amaterasu will hit him and if he does Tsukuyomi will end him. Is this really true? Or they are just hating a character without even backing up their claims? Let’s see how this will turn out.
I will first discuss Itachi’s genjutsu. Since everybody considered him to be the best at this field, I’ll use him as an example. If I’m not mistaken, Itachi shows 6 kinds of genjutsu. Here are the list of his famous genjutsu:
1. Demonic Illusion: Burning Paper Body! This genjutsu requires the Sharingan and eye contact to be activated. The illusion traps the victim in a dark empty space where their body is made of paper that burns from toe to head while the user is watching. The technique will make it harder for the target to move properly. This technique is a short range ranging from 0m-5m.
The scan above shows how Itachi traps Kakashi and the scan below shows how Kakashi was able to counter that. What part of the body does that technique affects? Vision! right? And a simple Kage bunshin can counter that. Now, do you honestly believe that Minato will get caught by this tech? Since it only affects vision and not the mind, Minato can use FTG to get out of its range. Not to mention that Minato can use kage bunshin to solve that.
2. Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth . The user decrypts a genjutsu that has been applied onto them and casts back a technique with identical effects onto the opponent. This is an illusion reversal so this can't help Itachi against Minato.
3. Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes! Firstly, this technique requires the use of the Sharingan and direct eye contact. The opponent is caught in the illusionary world created by the user, and the victim will be tormented with the sensation of having spikes driven through their limbs, taking away their body's freedom. What does this tech affects? Movement! right? It's clear that this tech does not affect the mind. This is also a short range tech ranging from 0m-5m. Again, can this tech trap Minato when it only affects movement?
4. Ephemeral! Utakata is a Genjutsu technique utilized by Akatsuki member Uchiha Itachi. Itachi will start this technique by using only one finger on his right hand. His target does not have to look into his eyes, a glance at the hand itself will be enough. Once inside the illusion, he can control the visions the ninja sees
The above scan shows that Naruto was trapped in a genjutsu but noticed how Naruto was able to figure out that he was trap in a genjutsu. It simply shows that Naruto is in his state of mind. Will this work against Minato who can teleport from one place to another without even moving?
5. Dusk Crow Genjutsu This genjutsu can trap a victim in an illusion with no eye contact, similar to Ephemeral. It was derived from ephemeral as it's parent jutsu. Notice how Itachi uses handseal to perform this tech. Again, this tech affects the vision and not the mind. Is his speed upon making a handseal fast enough for the FTG? Can this tech trap Minato? This is also a short range tech. 0m-5m
6. Tsukuyomi ! We all know about this tech. But can this tech trap Minato? We'll find out.
The scan above shows Itachi closing his eyes before activating MS. If he'll do that against Minato, then it's over. Check the scan below for more info
How did Kakashi knows about that tech that he needs to warn his companions? That was the first time he encounters an MS tech. Do you think Kakashi is more knowledgeable than Minato in terms of this? Let me remind you that this is a short range tech that ranges from 0m-5m. The distance is too short for Minato not to kill Itachi. Remember that Itachi closes his eyes before he can activate MS.
In here shows how genjutsu can be counter. A trait perfectly fits for someone like Minato.
P.S. This is just the part 1. The part 2 will be how Minato deals with the other MS techs. SInce genjutsu is the favorite line of Itachi fans, I've discussed it first. Think again how those short ranged genjutsu's can trap Minato. The tearing to Uchiha fan's heart will begin on the next thread..goodluck and god bless.
