**** all that Kaguya, Rikudo, Indra bullshit. Were here to discuss Itachi. Were speaking on a real ass ninja. On topic though, I don't think people fully realize how respectively overpowered and broken Itachi's genjutsu capabilities really are... Namely one technique in particular; The Dusk Crow Genjutu.​

The Nightmare Realm


Description:​

This genjutsu traps a victim in a powerful illusion with no necessary eye contact; similar to Ephemeral. When used on Naruto, the genjutsu projected a torrent of crows, leaving him at Itachi's mercy.

Were discussing a genjutsu that requires absolutely no eye contact, no point of a finger, seemingly, nothing. Itachi can quite simply place anyone under this genjutsu, with no indication of even performing the jutsu, and perfectly replicate reality so that the victim wouldn't even know they were put in a genjutsu. And as you may or may not know, the very first step in even attempting to break out of a genjutsu is realizing you're in one; which would be nearly impossible in this scenario. Aside from a very few [Experienced Dōjutsu users, Perfect Jinchūriki, and elite level Sensors] no one is safe from this. If prompted, Itachi could simply utilize this near undetectable genjutsu and then swiftly finish his lifeless opponent with any means necessary.

A truly broken technique, well, shinobi altogether. Kishimoto had no choice but to make Itachi a pacifist and hold him back in every fight.




Misconceptions:​

Many people believe that Itachi placed Naruto in his genjutsu . This couldn't possibly be the case, as Naruto wouldn't of been able to command his clones from within a genjutsu; and neither would they have appeared within Itachi's genjutsu world either [ ]. This wasn't an illusion, it was reality. Furthermore, Naruto even knew not to make eye contact with Itachi's eye or finger.

People also chose to believe that Naruto was cought in Itachi's genjutsu via the sharingan implanted within the crow [ ]-[ ]. Also not the case because, when Itachi utilizes his crows in reality or genjutsu, the birds always leave feathers [ ] as they did when Naruto was already caught within the genjutsu. The important thing to note with this is, when Naruto was released from the genjutsu, there wasn't any feathers on the floor [ ] meaning Naruto was caught in the genjutsu prior to Itachi releasing his flock of crows, else feathers would of been present within reality.

The fact that Kabuto negated all of his genjutsus barring asspullanami by simply closing his eyes means anyone else with the skill can do the same.

Hmm, Dusk Crow Genjutsu as a tech is often brushed over, it's been a while since I've seen someone discuss it like this.

Unless you have the capability to avoid/prevent/break genjutsu on this level, you won't be coming out of this one. Nicely summed up.

Are you implying that anyone who closes their eyes can effectively combat Itachi? Or do you mean that there are numerous shinobi with Kabuto's Sennin Mode level sensing, reflexes, speed, and abilities? Either way, this was a dumb comment.

I don't think so, evidently it does need some sort of eye or visual contact because otherwise he could have neg diffed Kabuto instead of using an eye for asspullanami

I don't see how, the cost of it was an eye, it's nothing to be ashamed of when it took that much to get rid of you.
