Naruto: 23 Powerful Quotes by Itachi Uchiha
Naruto's Itachi Uchiha had many words of wisdom during his time in the series. Here are some of his most touching quotes:
Simply put, Genjutsu is a fantastic technique that affects a subject's chakra circulatory system and applies it to hypothetical scenarios that feel real in the moment.. Genjutsu is used to deceive the user in a variety of ways, and is completed by combining it with other arts. Genjutsu is the specialty of quite a few ninja, such as the Uchiha and even the second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki.. Over the years, fans have seen quite a few talented Genjutsu users in the Naruto series, but few have been as talented as fan-favorite legendary ninja of Konoha, Itachi Uchiha. Itachi was a prodigy when it came to Genjutsu, but the truth is that towards the end of the Naruto series, fans met a legendary ninja who had even more skills than him in the Genjutsu department..

Itachi can use the Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan Genjutsu.
It goes without saying that when it comes to ninja with powerful genjutsu, Itachi Uchiha is always near the top.. Itachi awakened the Sharingan at a very young age, and the power of this eye gave him the ability to cast powerful genjutsu. In fact, Itachi was particularly gifted even among the Uchiha in terms of maturity and strength. Itachi's talent was such that he was once destined to become the head of his clan and Hokage of the village.. In fact, Itachi already possessed the wisdom of the Hokage at the age of seven, which is said to make him incredibly special to Naruto's children.
People go through life tied to what they accept as right and true. That's how they define “reality.” But what does it mean to be “right” or “true”? Just vague concepts… Their 'reality' may all be a mirage. — Itachi Uchiha, Naruto
What fans truly cherished about Itachi was his incredible skills. Itachi's best abilities often revolve around the use of Genjutsu, and it goes without saying that he is one of the best. Itachi was capable of performing a number of powerful Genjutsu, including the Paralysis Genjutsu or the regular Sharingan Genjutsu. But what makes Itachi truly special is his Mangekyou Sharingan ability, and that is Tsukuyomi. In the world of Tsukuyomi, Itachi was able to control time and space, meaning that even one second within this world could feel like an eternity. In fact, Tsukuyomi is the only genjutsu that exists in the world of Naruto that can actually kill someone, aside from Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Itachi has demonstrated his feats several times throughout the series, such as his brief battle with Kakashi or later his battle with Sasuke Uchiha. It's obvious Itachi was an overwhelmingly powerful Genjutsu user. And quite easily became one of the best, the fact is that his younger brother surpassed him later in this issue.

Sasuke matched Sasuke's Genjutsu abilities.
-
Sasuke obtains the Rinnegan Genjutsu.
Sasuke Uchiha was initially not as skilled as Itachi when it came to Genjutsu. In fact, even after Sasuke awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and fought Danzo, Danzo made it clear that his Genjutsu was far inferior to Itachi Uchiha's Genjutsu. However, as the story progresses, Sasuke becomes stronger and so do his powerful Genjutsu. During the Fourth Ninja War, Sasuke's genjutsu soared to sky-high heights.
I will start a revolution. The Five Kage started this problem. I will execute them all, and I will execute all the tailed beasts with them. — Sasuke Uchiha
It's Real: Kishimoto confirms the death of one of the Uzumaki family members in Boruto.
Fans were shocked that Kishimoto killed Uzumaki in Boruto.
in fact, Sasuke can even cast powerful genjutsu like Sakura.Fans know that Sakura even developed resistance to powerful Genjutsu at some point in her life. Even Jinchūriki, who are seemingly immune to genjutsu, can fall victim to certain genjutsu, but Sakura cannot. But Sasuke put her under the illusion, which is a feat in itself. One of Sasuke's greatest displays of Genjutsu was when he fought Kabuto alongside his older brother. At this point, Sasuke's genjutsu had advanced to a level where he could be in the same position as Itachi. Of course, by this point Itachi still had the upper hand, but fans could clearly see that Sasuke's Genjutsu was slowly improving. The real upgrade came at the end of the Fourth Ninja War after he awakened the Rinnegan.
Sasuke was able to cast the Rinnegan Genjutsu
In terms of Mangekyou Sharingan genjutsu, Itachi has always reigned supreme, but in fact Sasuke can also cast Genjutsu with the Rinnegan.He awoke during the Fourth Ninja War. After Sasuke gained access to the Rinnegan, his Genjutsu abilities grew tremendously. It was with the Rinnegan that Sasuke cast a Genjutsu on Sakura and knocked her out once and for all. His greatest feat came shortly after, when he used the Rinnegan to cast a powerful Genjutsu on all nine Tailed Beasts simultaneously. Sasuke then went on to seal all nine with Chibaku Tensei and drained all of their chakra. Taking one look at the Tailed Beasts, Sasuke immobilized them all and basically eliminated them all. This level of Genjutsu prowess has never been heard of.
Even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, the best Itachi could do was control one tailed beast, and that was Kurama.. On the other hand, Sasuke was fighting on equal footing with Naruto Uzumaki, with perfect control over the nine. It's truly incredible that Sasuke can pull off such a massive feat of Genjutsu, and shows that his Genjutsu is much more dangerous than Itachi's at this point.
Sasuke's Rinnegan was wasted in Boruto
It's obvious Sasuke's Rinnegan was greatly improved in the Fourth Ninja War. And years later, in fact, all this power was wasted in the Boruto series. In this particular story, fans got to see Sasuke give up the use of all of his Rinnegan abilities except Amenotejikara for some reason. Even worse than that is the fact that Sasuke lost the Rinnegan when Momoshiki stabbed it, causing this power to officially disappear from the sequel story. To this day, fans absolutely hated this plot development and will likely continue to be dissatisfied with it unless it is fixed at some point in the future. Currently, Sasuke is severely incapacitated. boruto There is no sign of him returning anytime soon.
