I suggest you to follow your same logic

Itachi's fighting style is suited for 1vs1 configuration. He is fighting many opponents here

1- Itachi is definitely not defeating Asuma in a direct close range combat without diversions, said Asuma who was capable to handle Kisame in close combat without too much problems even forcing him to use ninjutsu instead. CQC is Asuma's speciality

2- Itachi tries genjutsu on one while some others would be attacking him from behind or other sides, when some would be staying backwards. If he gets hit, it breaks the genjutsu, even if not, the ones who stayed backwards could easily free the one affected by genjutsu and thus making the genjutsu strategy worthless

3- Tsukuyomi is close range, so would need to close the range in order to affect someone, which is dangerous considering my kage mane strategy. And even if he manages to, the fatigue due to the strain of the technique leaves him open for an attack coming from the one who are supposed to be behind him or in other sides

4- Amaterasu requires prep for him as well due to his limited stamina. It leaves him open for an attack coming from the ones who are supposed to be behind him or in other sides during the fight

5- Throws kunais on people who can move on their own and not immobile targets so easily dodged

6- And i didn't even mention BM Choji in this scenario that practically nothing in Itachi's arsenal could put down in this scenario, or at least not that easily

What else would he do? He would be overwhelmed and defeated in the end. It's exactly what you were saying. Itachi isn't fighting stationary objects

1. Not sure how you would think Asuma > Itachi in a 1v1 fight. Itachi = Uchiha = sharingan = 1v1 specialty.

2. Itachi's tsukuyomi is almost instant. He cast it on Kakashi and held him for 72 hours, while in the real world it took only what ? 1 second?

3. What fatigue? He wasn't fatigued after using it on Kakashi 72 hours straight.

4. Limited stamina? Have you seen his fight vs Sasuke? AFTER using tsukuyomi, he pretty much amaterasu'd the surroundings. It's more than enough to handle 5-6 guys. And Sasuke was arguably faster than anyone in team Asuma.

5. ...

6. What about genjutsu, amaterasu, KA?

He's an edo, of course there's no recoil.

Show me a scan where tsyukyomi has affected the user as your saying. Amatarasu ha be shown with recoil but not tsukyomi.



As you can see, the amatarasu has very little recoil as itachi doesnt spam this technique. Because of this, there is less strain on his eye

Lmao what bogard my man? Pre-Cog still works for the shadows if they try that he can easily avoid it .... as he would see it coming, Ino is Ko'd with Katon honestly, Chouji is lit up by Amertarasu...

Also if Asuma came that close Tsukuyomi ends it :|

Then it would just be him and Shikamaru, which i think we all know the victor

Here's Sasuke using Tsukuyomi and then suffering from backlash.



And then he gets pummeled.

That was Sasuke using it for the very first time.

1. It was Sasuke, not Itachi.
2. He wasn't used to it, so didn't know what to expect. I believe it was a normal reaction. I would assume using MS is like going to the gym. Your muscles will be sore after the first few days, naturally. Sasuke felt the effect of using that type of genjutsu for the first time.

It's not as if Tsukuyomi time translated into real time. What happened in the illusion took seconds in the real world.

It being seconds doesn't change the fact that Itachi should have felt this strain from the moment he casted and trapped him in the Genjutsu, not seconds later and definitely not right when it was broken.



We've seen it happen before.

It makes no sense for a mental feat to affect his eyesight and his body. What difference does it make, if the victim escapes genjutsu? Why would that deal extra damage to Itachi?

It's not as if Sasuke reflected the damage back at Itachi, he simply escaped Tsukuyomi.

Where have we seen that before?

Well it did happen, so saying it makes no sense isn't going to change that.

Twice in a row? Didn't he use it against Kakashi and then against Sasuke?

There was a large time frame between the two.

Twice in a row was the wrong choice of words, I meant to say that he used it twice in one day.

So?

It's still a strain.

It doesn't matter if it's the first or the last time.

The poster wanted me to prove that Tsukuyomi strains the user.

Itachi still own them. His speed and shuriken skills is enough to kill them. I'm no kidding.

Lol @ Ino somehow snaring Itachi, considering that her mind transfer moved so slowly even with Kurama's chakra. There is no way in hell, she's accomplishing anything. Kakashi has put two people at once in genjutsu, Itachi should be able to do the same because, I don't know, he actually has the genetic line for it?

Asuma will be the only one who would put up a slight fight, and Hidan was not only outclassing him, but evading shadow clones at the same time, when according to Hidan, his moves are the slowest in Akatsuki. You people must be joking if you believe Asuma or his little frat-team even has a chance in hell against Itachi.

Since Amaterasu isn't restricted, guess what Itachi does. He sweeps his gaze across the battle-filed and burns them to a crisp. Is this even debatable?
