I think that the Viz translation you posted agrees with me and not with you.Kakashi indeed wondered about the reason why Itachi didn't kill him, but not only the reason behind this statement could have different interpretations(like he could be asking why not try to kill him when he was that badly affected by the jutsu?), but Kakashi himself had no prior knowledge concerning the jutsu during that fight, because during their second encounter he did notice Itachi became weary to immediately leave the fight because of the risks of the jutsu [You must be registered for see links]
Either for more knowledgeable ones like Zetsu or Kisame or even in the databook, nowhere was it stated tsukuyomi can kill
Is there any sense to debate this? Certainly not.Viz said:Kakashi: (Thinking) Unh... I see... Three days in that realm and less than a moment passed in this one... Why not kill me? If he wanted to he could...
The Databook doesn't need to specify this, because Kakashi's statement and common sense gives us the necessary information. Tsukuyomi doesn't necessarily kill the victim, yet Kakashi stated it could have. At least destroying his psyche to a point he is disabled for his entry life. Anyway that doesn't matter, because anyone would end with his spirit broken, due to the intensity of Tsukuyomi, from which we saw only a taste in Kakashi's case. So even if agreeing with you, Tsunade would have no chance in surviving Tsukuyomi and would end up with her spirit broken.

Avoiding eye contact is no use, since the one casting the illusion could easily provoke the necessary eye contact. Whether Oonoki decides not to look into Itachi's eyes or will go on distance, Itachi could send out crows to distract him [

]. If knowledge on the Sharingan's Genjutsu was a problem, they wouldn't be as dangerous as they are.Calling Madara's MS a much more powerful one is once again your insularity. What makes Madara's MS or pre-PS EMS (much) stronger than Itachi's? Itachi has the powerful, unique to him Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu and Susanoo, which is equipped with two supernatural items, while Madara only showed the exact same Susanoo with mere weapons of Chakra. So you see, that you argument makes no sense. And the experience Oonoki and his teacher - a Jinton user - had against Madara, is merely their utter defeat against him.T Bogard said:Onoki also has a great experience fighting a much more power MS(and even EMS) user since a young age, so it should be expected that he already know basical things that should be avoided. And he has even already shown he is aware about Sharingan genjutsus, probably thanks to that experience fighting Madara or even before that. And we can clearly see it when he advise others not to look directly into his eyes
Flawed, when Itachi already caught a Kagebunshin of Kakashi within the realm of his Genjutsu [T Bogard said:For more preventions, he can even use rock bunshins as we know it's useless to cast genjutsu on clones

], and Hashirama cast his Bringer on Darkness technique on both Hiruzen and his clones to rob their vision [

]. The difference lies in Itachi's intention, who wanted to inflict mental torture on Kakashi, what however doesn't affect Kagebunshin. So the Genjutsu itself wasn't ineffective, the outcome was. Genjutsu can generally affect clones too, particularized a paralyzing one.Your whole argumentation regarding protection with clones is bullshit; how are you not tired by yourself? Itachi can create Kagebunshin and Karasubunshin as well, so what's your point? Being excellently skilled with feints and possessing outstanding speed, any Jinton technique is deductively countered with Bunshins, setting no harm on Itachi but draining Oonoki's Chakra reserves. The Manga taught use that the same trick, especially of that level, isn't gonna work twice. And since Itachi can do what Oonoki can also do, your subjectivity is misguided.T Bogard said:This move also protects him from Amaterasu, a move Itachi still needs toYou must be registered for see linksto use even in Edo form, something that could leave him open for an attack
But I guess as always, there is no point in lecturing you.
As for the Jinton, the Yata mirror's ability would allow Itachi to render it useless. Since the mirror has no physical form but is of spiritual matter, it can chance its size beyond of its initial form [

]. But I guess Itachi could even avoid it with his great Shunshin, considering Madara didn't have problems against Muu as well in the past, despite of having no known "counter" for the Jinton, relying on Gakido when he had his Edo form. Or, Itachi could use simple Bunshin feints, of which you are amazed enough to call it a counter for Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu. @Bold, you never be at a loss to amuse me, Bogard. So the clones inside Susanoo where so paralyzed that they couldn't even deactivate Susanoo? Funny that the Susanoo clones were running towards the Gokage a page later. Your argument doesn't hold water.T Bogard said:Using clones also helps Onoki to proceed and send the rock clones to immobilise Itachi's Susanoo like he did against 5Madara's Susanoo [You must be registered for see links] if Itachi decided to create one
And we've seen Madara's clones inside their Susanoo were so paralysed that they couldn't even either deactivate Susanoo in time or dodge Jinton [You must be registered for see links] [You must be registered for see links]
I honestly see no point here, when the Magatamas almost broke through the golem, despite Gaara laid his perfect defense on top of it. Just as I don't see your point regarding Mokuton techniques, since the Golem was crushed with a single one.T Bogard said:Besides from that, Onoki has shown to have also incredible golem he can use toYou must be registered for see linkshimself even againstYou must be registered for see links, or against powerfulYou must be registered for see linksdisplaying then great defensive techniques
I didn't saw a single legit point in your entry post. The underground isn't Susanoo's weakness, at least not at the way you suppose it to be. The Chakra of Susanoo surrounds the users body, also his feet; he is completely surrounded by this energy. Only the bottom side of his feet is touching the ground, and yet, the user of Susanoo has shown the possibilities to avoid this little "disadvantage" [T Bogard said:He has also shown that he was able to use his golem toYou must be registered for see linksfrom underground andYou must be registered for see links, something he can surely use to take advantage of Susanoos weakness for example(underground)
You must be registered for see links
]. Just like when Madara was sighted in the middle of Susanoo's body while using it with legs, or in the crystal of the perfect Susanoo's forehead, or Sasuke, who moved freely within Susanoo. Several actualities proved the user's mobility within Susanoo, but even if the user was standing on the ground, the bottom side of his feet would be the only area unprotected, yet is protected due to the Chakra surrounding him, negating such a nonessential matter, you would call "weakness". But as far as I know you, you will try to draw a distinction between the respective Susanoos properties, which should be depended by the user. Certainly not being the case however.Unfortunately, your opinion is based on poor visibility, as it always is.T Bogard said:Onoki for me has all the advantages needed to win this fight
