Re-thinking back to Kakashi's words concerning tsukuyomi, i questioned myself about something.

1- If Tsukuyomi really affects you in an instant, how do you even break the thing(skilled Sharingan user or not)?

Because the time you take to notice the genjutsu and attempt to break it, the instant second of tsukuyomi already took effect right?

It's even what Kakashi said in the viz translation

It doesn't matter if you can defeat the genjutsu or not. Because it affects you in an instant, not even leaving you a room to break it

Before some people give me the Sasuke example, let me tell you something. Itachi can control the length of his tsukuyomi

He explained it while formulating a plan to defeat Kabuto

1- We'll start by casting tsukuyomi on him to figure out the jutsu
2- While still under the nightmare real(tsukuyomi), i'll manipulate him into undoing the jutsu

Notice he mentions he does all that while Kabuto is still inside his tsukuyomi. This shows Itachi can indeed control the length of his tsukuyomi

Another example is the fight against Sasuke. Notice that while Sasuke was under Tsukuyomi, we see Zetsu on the same page concerned about something happening

If Zetsu had time to notice something while tsukuyomi was active, it shows the tsukuyomi Itachi used against Sasuke wasn't instant. Most likely he prolonged the effect in order for Sasuke to have time to break it. After all, he never wanted to defeat Sasuke in that fight, more like the contrary

Conclusion

1- Tsukuyomi can only be broken if Itachi prolongs the effect for more than an instant
2- If Itachi uses tsukuyomi the time of an instant in the real world, no one can break it

Yes the genjutsu is powerful if you make eye contact and is a 1shot unless you have the MS and the same blood as him. Sasukes the only one who can break it without Itachi extending the time in real life. Itachi can make Tsyukomi 3 days an instant in real life or vice versa scary stuff.

Tsukuyomi cannot be broken or hasn't been broken so far in the Manga. Sasuke breaking Tsukuyomi was a part of Itachis plan. Just saying...

Edit: I saw the Databook Bogard you are correct Sasuke broke it. >_O

For some reason, I never really liked that restriction at all.. Seems TOO unfair.. You have ALL of these great characters, and you're telling me you have to be Itachi's brother or some relative with eyes similar to that of the Uchiha prince, Just to break his tsukuyomi? That's too damn overpowered. This should mean NOBODY in the ENTIRE MANGA of NARUTO except, and I repeat, EXCEPT Sasuke Uchiha, can break his genjutsu... that's crap.

It doesn't matter whether you have MS with his blood or not, since even with MS and his blood, to defeat genjutsu, you must attempt to break it first and that happens past the instant effect of the tsukuyomi genjutsu

You have ALL of these great characters, the MOST important of them all being Shino Aburame of course, and you're telling me you have to be Itachi's brother or some relative with eyes similar to that of the Uchiha prince, Just to break his tsukuyomi?

Well this is interesting, I mean I already knew that Itachi let Sasuke broke his Tsukuyomi because he didn't use the same he used on Kakashi but I had no idea about the extended thing.

What Kakashi said is certainly very interesting, it means you have to avoid eye contact or else you lose with his instant Tsukuyomi i.e. assuming Itachi uses it right off the bat U_U

Well I'm just going with a manga fact. An eye power that extends time of reality doesn't make much sense either but we can't just ignore Itachi's statement. He's the one who said every jutsu has a weakness as well and taunted Sasuke for not fighting him without achieving MS first.
