Uhh, you are correct...it IS a genjutu. There is no doubt about it.

No. All genjutsu spells create a specific type of hypnosis, hallucination, or illusion, but none other than Tsukiyomi is completely controlled by a user's will. Tayuya's genjutsu on Shika is no different. See below for most of the genjutsu...

So constant stinging pain wouldn't work, either, since that would be "lingering pain"? Your intepretation does make sense, though.

It sort of is a hole that hasn't really been fully explained about genjutsu.
Yes, we don't know whether Kakashi could've controlled his body at all while his mind is in Tsukiyomi. I'm presuming he couldn't because he was fully prepare to take it and he knew what the move was.

Why do you even bring this up? There is no debate whether Tsukiyomi is a genjutsu or not--because it is!

I don't know if I'm misunderstanding, but are you trying to say there is only one type of genjutsu in the world: genjutsu, and as long as the user is good, he can do annnnnnny thing he wants if the genjutsu hits? ^_^;;

There have been various classified genjutsu techniques already and each serve a specific purpose, nothing more. [Hell-Viewing] (Kakashi on Sakura) draws out the targets' worst fear, [Wrong-Place] fools others into thinking they are somewhere else (Izumo and Kotetsu on examinees), [don't know name] sends everyone asleep (Kabuto on audience) and can be broken by 'kai' seal beforehand, [Absolute Darkness] creates exactly that around the target and cannot be broken by mere pain (1st Hokage on Sarutobi) , [Mist User] unleashes an army of dark mist ninja that stem from the terrain that multiplies when hit (Mubi on Team 7 and Kabuto), [Fox-in-Heart] fools the target into walking around in circle constantly (Rain Ninja on Team 7 and Kabuto), [don't know name] creates tree or terrain to make the opponents think they are immoblized (Kurenai on Itachi and Kisame), and [don't know name] slowly melts away the targets' flesh in the illusion world (Tayuya on Shika).

I don't know...they kinda sound specific to me.

Why? Because the world created by the genjutsu is irrelevant as long as it achieves the desired purpose, and also of course because Itachi is popular and Tayuya is not. Food for thought.
No. People have high praises for Tsukiyomi simply because it is a world completely controlled by the user unlike all other genjutsu not no matter how scary they are. And don't eat bad food...bad for your brain.

No. Not only did Itachi not say this, Sasuke, "another natural sharingan user," certainly wasn't quite so immune to it the two times it hit him, no? Itachi told Kakashi only one with true Uchiha blood and Sharingan can actually resist it. What this implies in my interpretation is that only another user with Mangekyo Sharingan who can also control the Tsukiyomi world will have a chance to win in it.

For the last time, it IS a genjutsu.

"Tsukiyomi." The move has a name.

Ah, you were going with the good ol "don't-look-into-his-eyes" theory. Hmm...well, if the opponent can fight blindfolded and still keep up with Itachi's speed, then yes, this would work. But then again, it isn't as easy to pull off as you make it out to be.

Hmmm, you know, maybe Itachi is pushing Sasuke towards Orochimaru? I think that would be quite a challenege for Itachi to be able to prove his strength, a fight with Orochimaru in a body where he has sharingan, his most coveted of bloodlines. Surely Itachi would have seen Sasuke's cursed seal? Beating him down so easily would mostly likely turn Sasuke down that path towards 'seeking more power'.

But yah, if Itachi truly only wanted a challenger for Mangekyo Sharingan, then surely he wouldn't mind fighting Orochimaru in Sasuke's body...I guess?

Pain from the real world should break a Genjutsu. It should make you realize that the Genjutsu is in fact fake. If Kakashi had known what was coming, had he known how fast he needed to be, then he should've been able to break it.

I don't think he knew it, considering we know it now because Itachi told him.

Kakashi KNEW it was fake as did Shikamaru...but their bodies couldn't. Yes, pain should, but Skyro was almost saying that unless the pain comes directly after Tsukiyomi hits and before it ends in that short split-second span like a jolt, it wouldn't break...and that is awfully difficult to time, no?

Split second. Jolt of pain, not constant pain. He was trying to say that even if the target is hurting and bleeding like hell, that wouldn't make a difference because it's not a "jolt of pain" during the genjutsu. Which I don't believe. Therefore, I don't believe pain helps out against high level genjutsu such as Tsukiyomi at all.

Kakashi obviously has heard of this ultimate Uchiha attack involving the Sharingan...why else would he tell Kurenai and Asuma to close their eyes? And Itachi pretty flat-out told him it was a genjutsu before he even used it, didn't he?

Actually in chapter 147 page 10 Itachi comments "The seal is unraveling" after he kicks Sasuke into the wall. The he proceeds to beat the shit out of him.

NO. Pathetic mistranslation by that incompetent scanslator. Itachi looked at Sasuke's broken hand and pealed-off skins and commented "he [Sasuke] can't perform seals anymore [with that broken hand of his]."

...and then he proceeds to beat the shit out of him.

Ahh, ok. That makes more sense. I was always wondering how he knew what the seal was.

No problem. I am truly annoyed by how poorly the scanslation was through chapters 140~150; hopefully a competent scanslator (Inane or BakaFish perhaps) will go back and do those to stop misleading and confusing mistranslations.

For us, but we don't know how the abilities of a ninja in Naruto are.

Was that the same? Then Kakashi can do it as well? Because which attack is Gai talking about when he says he is used to fighting Kakashi without making eye contact. And if he can't do Tsukiyomi, then what is it that Gai fears about Kakashi's `Sharingan?

Sharingan has a general hypnotism mechanism built into it (this is official info...I didn't think so at first, but raikage I think proved me wrong), but you never hear it mentioned in any Sharingan vs [whatever] discussions because hypnosis could be performed without Sharingan so it's not "special" even though it requries no hand seals. Oh, that and hypnosis doesn't involve blowin' shit up...so no one cares about it. Gai was avoiding that aspect of the Sharingan.

Kakashi definitely knew some sort of devastating genjutsu is coming from Itachi; whether he knew of the way it works we do not know (he does now!~).

Exactly, and that was why Kakashi told Kurenai and Asuma to close their eyes, while he closed his one, normal eye.

Damn...we agree?! Oh well, that's that then. >_<

I want to clarify that while the hypnotism can definitely help a Sharingan user in battle, it is not that scary for Kakashi to tell everyone to close their eyes...he knew that something like Tsukiyomi was coming since Kakashi is most likely fairly familiar with the Uchiha Clan and Sharingan.

Oh hey, I think there's some fun going on in that newest Sharingan vs Byakugan thread, though I don't think logic and reason work well in there... XD

You should be able to tell whom I was referring to.

Beating a dead horse just isn't my thing, especially a versus thread. Besides, it's kinda fun watching all these Byakugan fanboys and Sharingan fanboys duke it out. I'm in the latter group, too, but I've already done my work in this thread...besides I wouldn't fit in very well in that other thread.

Itachi told Kakashi only one with true Uchiha blood and Sharingan can actually resist it. What this implies in my interpretation is that only another user with Mangekyo Sharingan who can also control the Tsukiyomi world will have a chance to win in it.
First point - I agree. The Tsukiyomi is VASTLY different from all the other genjutsu we have seen so far.
• No other genjutsu so far have inflicted pain on their own.
• No other genjutsu has worked on anything besides sigt and sound - so theoretically someone like Kiba, who can rely on smell, or Shino with his bugs, could easily get through several of the genjutsus.

So, the Tsukiyomi is a battle of wills? Sounds good to me. It is a battle that could have no end, though, since the world can be controlled by both users. Presumably, you would have unlimited chakra and the ability to create any jutsu you damn well desire, like "Transform-Itachi's-katanas-into-flowers-no jutsu" and Tsunade's insane healing justu. The battle would never stop.

Yah I know exactly what you're talking about... I always feel compelled to write in those things for some reason though.

Anyway, I think it's too early to conclude anything about the strongest ninja. So far though, definitely Sarutobi in his prime.

Maybe that's a clue to how Sasuke vs. Itachi will go... basically they'll use Tsukiyomi on each other and fight the entire battle in a matter of seconds.

Hehe yah, the battle won't stop until one side runs of chakra or will power (the longer the user controls Tsukiyomi, the more taxing it is). But this is where Sasuke's hatred comes into play--his single devotion to kill his brother is probably the key to beating the emotionless Itachi. Sasuke wants to kill his brother so badly whereas Itachi probably only treats the duel as a good challenge, nothing more.
