Kakashi collapses and ends up in the hospital. The technique acts on perception: the time is enormous only for the victim, while in the real world everything lasts a blink. Itachi only has to meet his target's eyes, which is why Asuma and Kurenai realize they must not look him in the eye.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-142","pos":142},{"h":"A weapon against Sasuke","t":"Itachi also uses Tsukuyomi against his brother. At the inn where he is looking for Naruto, he tortures him with the illusion until he is out of the fight, and Sasuke's memories show that on the night of the massacre Itachi had already forced him to watch his clan's death over and over with that same eye. For Sasuke, the technique is tied to his worst memory. In that same scene, Itachi tells him that to match him he will have to hate him and kill his best friend.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-224","pos":224},{"h":"Resisting it","t":"When the brothers finally face each other, Itachi uses Tsukuyomi again, but Sasuke manages to resist it. He does so under specific circumstances: his own Sharingan, the hatred driving him and everything he prepared for that duel. That does not mean the technique is easy to break; for most people it is still an instant defeat. The cost to the user is also clear: the Mangekyō wears down the eyes and uses a lot of chakra, which is why Itachi does not use it lightly.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-388","pos":388},{"h":"Not the Infinite Tsukuyomi","t":"Toward the end of the war comes the Infinite Tsukuyomi, an illusion projected onto the moon that reaches almost the whole world and plunges it into a dream. It shares the name, but it is not the same technique: Itachi's Tsukuyomi acts on one person through eye contact and lasts an instant in the real world; the infinite version is a global-scale plan that keeps its victims asleep. Mixing them up is common, and the difference matters for understanding the final arc.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-677","pos":677}],"characters":["itachi","sasuke"],"related":["genjutsu","tsukuyomi-infinito","mangekyo"],"reference":"Naruto, chapters 142 and 388.","sources":[{"title":"Itachi: familia, ANBU y la tragedia del clan","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1814"},{"title":"Sasuke: la verdad sobre Itachi y un nuevo camino","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1858"}],"figures":["
