Kill B told him that Genjutsu does not work on perfect jins.

Killer B was speaking of regular genjutsu. We are talking about the ultimate genjutsu.

Naruto may have been immune to it just by having the sage's chakra but seeing how killer B was taken out of the fight as soon as the genjutsu occurred, it's reasonable to think that his statement didn't apply to IT.

Sasuke protected Naruto before B was even affected by it.

oh, you're talking about why sasuke went to protect naruto? Didn't read beginning part of thread.

I have to agree with everybody else then. I assume that was because sasuke was simply being cautious. Sasuke saw the eye reflect off the moon and knowing that naruto's survival was his only hope to seal Kaguya, he did the smart thing and made sure naruto would be safe.

Since Sasuke wasn't caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi when it was casted, he realised that his Susanoo can block the light. That's why he rushed to save Team 7, because they could be caught anytime soon after the activation.

Rushed to save Naruto*

No, he specifically said that "without the susanoo I created with my eyes you will be affected by his genjutsu too" also the way says "this is bad" when he sees the markings on moon strongly implies he knows more about IT,then many will assume

I think his statement would've been different if what you are saying was the case, but that's just a serious doubting the post.

Because Sasuke closely paid attention to the Sage's story and read the tablet as well. Plus, the Uchiha are known for being the strongest Genjutsu users in NV. Plus, his Rinnegan is the same as Kaguya and Madara's Rinnegan.

I don't think so because he created the susanoo to counter madara's chibaku tensei. If sasuke made the susanoo specifically for the IT, then I would say you're right. But he made it to reach madara and destroy the meteors. It just so happened that his susanoo was out when the IT began. So probably it was just coincidence and not indicative that he had some type of extra information about the IT.

BZ who wrote the tablet did not know that Susanoo can block IT.

itachi said those with the same eys cannot be put under genjutsu. so i guess it comes from that.
sasuke most likely spoke with hago about a what if scenario if IT was cast. he also read the tablet as a kid but im not sure what he knew exactly.

Now, this is actually a good point. equal sets of eyes can't genjutsu each other, seems to make sense to me.

Didn't Obito put Kakashi in a Genjutsu? And Black Zetsu who rewritten the tablet didn't know that Sasuke can do that.

You love avoiding the tough questions don't you? Just because B told him that, Sasuke should assume Naruto is immune to the most powerful genjutsu of all time?

That's not very smart.

You still haven't brought any evidence that proves Sasuke had prior knowledge about IT before it was used.

He should assume that IT doesn't mess with the chakra system which is what a Genjutsu does?

Was it not Edo Itachi who told Sasuke about the high end Eye Genjutsu?

He shouldn't assume IT is restricted by the same limitations as normal genjutsu, because it's far from a normal genjutsu.

For instance, normal genjutsu is forcefully effecting the victims chakra system so the sense what you want them to. With IT people are basically creating their own personal illusion. No other genjutsu works this way. There are several other ways IT is different from normal genjutsu, so all the same rules may not apply.

For me, it would make more sense that Sasuke would've gotten some basic information from Tobito, since he was the one who wanted to go through with IT. He did spend alot of time working for him after the Itachi Pursuit arc.

The IT user does make Illusions for the person. Madara said that to Obito in chapter 606.



Of course this is different what was shown. But Madara was being feed false information.
