Has Itachi ever wanted a good honorable fight before? Or does he always use Genjutsu no matter the context?
He is
THE genjutsu user in Naruto
He uses it more often than anyone in the series and in every single fight he’s had in the manga. And even sometime outside of fights.
To make Sasuke hate him he made him watch his parents die thousands of times.
- Him and Kisame vs Kakashi, Kuranai, Asuma:
He reversed Kurenai’s genjutsu and obliterated Kakashi with Tsukuyomi.
- He meets Kid Sasuke after 6 years?
He puts him in Tsukuyomi to make him watch his parents die some more.
- Body double of Itachi fights Naruto, Kakashi, Chiyo, and Sakura?
he points at Naruto and he’s getting Sasuke flashbacks.
- Itachi accidentally runs into Naruto in the forest.
He instantly puts him in an illusion.
- Itachi, knowing Sasuke was coming for him, leaves a clone in a cave to genjutsu Sasuke on his way to him just to **** with him.
- The first half of Itachi vs Sasuke is all genjutsu
.
- Itachi gets reanimated from the dead by Kabuto and controlled to fight Naruto and Bee.
He genjutsu’s himself to set himself free from Kabuto’s control with a crow he left inside Naruto arcs ago before he died.
- He fights Kabuto with Sasuke.
Kabuto thinks he’s eating because he can turn off his vision and fight on senses alone.
Itachi goes “nice try you ******* idiot watch this” and hits him with Izanami(no eye contact needed)
not even counting all the Novel stuff.
like the time he figured out a persons fears after watching them fight a little and mentally scared them to the point where they gave up being a Shinobi.
or when he had to kill his girlfriend but let her experience 80 years of normal life in a genjutsu before she died.
Long story short, He’s an actual goon with GJ.
