How??:shrug:sasuke
genjutsu won't work against Kakuzu because he has 5types of chakra. Even if one of them got caught the other will be there still fighting. And don't forget Kakashi can use raiton too and even better than Sasuke. That doesn't mean you win.
They are independant. Proof is that even when Kakuzu died, one heart came to save him from his own. Also i don't think you're right. As i said, Kakuzu has 5types of chakra. You're right that genjutsu takes control of 5senses, but for that, it takes control of the chakra. It is said by Jiraya. So even if he manages to take control of one type of chakra, because Kakuzu has 5, it's uselessThat is with different hearts tho. Sasuke automatically went to genjutsu in his battles before he got ems. It just didn't work on Deidara and Itachi was fighting with genjutsu as well. Beginning of the fight would have Kakuzu with all of his hearts in one body. Genjutsu affects the 5 senses via the mind not heart so he would still be affected. I'm not sure if the hearts have independent thought or are controlled when they are outside of his body, so depending on which it is will determine if genjutsu affects him in that form as well.
So you really think Kakuzu will just be there looking at him when he does that???:sy:Sasuke would have to end it quick meaning before Kakuzu gets his hearts out. He can do that with his chidori eiso.

Also, we're not even sure if that level of raiton is strong enough to get through Kakuzus doton defense
Are you forgetting Kakuzu fought against a much more powerful raiton user than Sasuke and almost won?? Kakuzu has much more experience, and like Home said, he is better in taijutsu, ninjutsu, and has 5hearts. Like i've also said, genjutsu is useless against him.I'm sure that Sasuke's chidori can pierce his defense. Also, Kakuzu never started out with all of his hearts out at one time. Sasuke could hit him with genjutsu at that point. When the hearts are out, he would have to use some other method. His sharp spear chidori would be useful in this aspect.

We're talking about Sasuke with Orochimaru seals. The one who fought Deidara and Itachi
I'm not even sure he could cast kirin because Kakuzu will be constantly attacking him with his long range attacks and Sasuke doesn't have enough chakra to compete with Kakuzu for long.Going for Sasuke partly because the more Katon/Katon+Futon attacks that Kakuzu uses the more likely Kirin will into play. Yet apart from that he still has good counters for Kakuzu's techniques which I will have to explain on when I get back.
ao fought and survived vs shisui. the kages are (barely) surviving madara. sakura survived sasuke and sasori. see my point yet?Kakuzu has fought and even survived against the First Hokage, which is the one who defeated Madara single-handed while sealing the Kyuubi. Now tell me, who is stronger: Sasuke or Hashirama?
