Can't say I actually expected you to form an argument, unlike ShariganisOP. Babble to someone else.
Hmm I think this is a matter of what you want to believe. Kishi didn't really make it clear, Itachi seemed to genuinely not expect Sasuke to avoid the Tsukiyomi, but it did appear much weaker. Black Zetsu also implied Sasuke bypassed the Tsukiyomi before the effects actually hit; it seems more like Itachi was planning on hitting Sasuke with a weaker version than what he hit Sasuke and Kakashi with, but Sasuke avoided getting hit altogether, if it did hit, he would have fell to it, and that surprised Itachi. Or maybe because Sasuke was stronger at that moment than both Kakashi and himself at the first time Itachi showed it, Itachi thought he'd be able to handle it. At this point, your word is just good as mine.
Kishi tends not to make things clear and lets his reader interpret what the meaning may be, or really argue what it may be. I am really fine with it either way. It is just something that I noticed and observed as a possibility. It is entirely possible that Sasuke broke out of the Tsukuyomi, but I also see it being possible that Itachi had done something to the tsukuyomi himself. It is also possible that Itachi planned that Sasuke would break out of the Tsukuyomi, and the Genjutsu before that was just to prove that Sasuke could break his tsukuyomi according Itachi's plan. Really, I doubt we will ever know. But I would say it is more canon to take it as Sasuke breaking it.
