[Spoilers] What happened to Sasuke's Genjutsu prowess?

[fiercerunner]

In the final battle against Naruto, Sasuke didn't use any Genjutsu tactics (if I recall correctly...). Why? Everyone knows that one of Naruto's major shortcomings is Genjutsu, and Sasuke certainly got close enough during the fight to trap him in one. It would have been game over. I can't help but feel like Kishimoto conveniently decided to ignore this.

Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong or provide a method that Naruto could have used to get out of a Genjutsu by Sasuke? One possibility that comes to my mind is that Kurama could have snapped him out of it.

Woulda been a quick fight

Sasuke is not dumb..he knew it wouldn't work...he knew that kurama would repell it..plus naruto has fought itachi the best genjutsu user ever , on more occasions than him, so he would not be succeptable to it....

Wut? One Genjutsu used to silence Sakura was too costly for Sasuke, who has EMS and Rinnegan?

 

[Melanin]

He's reached a new level of solo and doesn't need it.

Taking the Bait that easy :lol

Perhaps you are right. But Itachi, the best Genjutsu user ever? Mmm... I think Shisui might be worthy of that title. The dude's MS could alter people's free will without their knowledge. That's frightening.

 

[Gerkak]

Nothing happened to it, he just didn't use it. The same reason naruto didn't use two TBBRS in their final clash. The plot is responsible

 

[Dreamland]

tbh, it never suited him.

 

[Dantee]

Sasuke wanted a fair fight. No sword no genjutsu ty kishi nerfs., no sixpaths

Perfect Jinchuriki are immune to Genjutsu and at the time Naruto was connected with all 9 bijuu minds. They have a connected place that noone else can reach. It really wouldnt have mattered

Recent battles have proven Genjutsu ti be a waist of time against Six Paths users. You have to go for the kill

 

[Pyro NB]

Kurama would've just knocked him out of it

Naruto wasnt full powered either. He probably had less than Sasuke at that point.

 

[HENI]

Genjutsu doesnt work on Perfect Jinchuriki.

One quote n one little episode..other than that the ruling is out...itachi had the world terrified of him...as a kid...that's sick...he mind rapes people with a finger...best user hands down

Sasuke could have done it...hear me out..when team 7 searched for him in orochumaru,s hideout...he entered his psyche effortlessly...he had already ct'd the bijuu..they were it'd basically..and with his rikudou power he could have entered his mind..dispelled kurama...again..then do naruto in

 

[LordJashin]

A) Yeah like everybody says, Naruto has Kurama.

B) Sasuke had one of the biggest genjutsu feats in the series right before VOTE2. He even impressed Rikudo

It is fightening, but it's cooldown is also extremely long. Itachi said that it took about 10 years to recharge unless Hashirama's cells were involved to accelerate the process.

So While Shisui has the strongest Genjutsu, Itachi's Tsukuyomi can pretty much 1 shot people as well and he can use it multiples times. But Itachi can also apparently control hundreds of people outside of sensering range.

We don't enough background story on Shisui's other genjutsus.... but we know the world feared Itachi for his genjutsu and Nagato himself mentionned while being alongside Itachi that Itachi's genjutsu alone could control the war and couldnt understand why Madara (Obito) was not taking advantage of that (not knowing that Kabuto actually had his own agenda)

Shisui has the strongest genjutsu

Itachi's Tsukuyomi is likely second, but has much more in his arsenal when it comes to genjutsu. He is the best Genjutsu user in the manga with what we know.

 

[Nick01]

His Genjutsu prowess is fodder against Lord Naruto.

Naruto wasnt a perfect Jin then. He is now. Not te mention the 8 other minds and the inner conscious only jonchuriki can reach. It would be friutless
