Mangekyo!
At this moment, Great Filial Son—Itachi's eyes—had already transformed into the shape of the Mangekyo.
Tailed beasts actually possessed considerable resistance to genjutsu.
That was, provided it was not "Mangekyo genjutsu."

As Itachi growled, tears of blood flowed from the corners of his eyes.
If they had taken things slowly, there would have been no need for this. Kisame could have used Samehada to drain it dry before sealing it away at their leisure.
But someone had interfered, leaving them with no such opportunity. They could only forcibly enslave the Three-Tails, use it to repel the enemy, and capture it afterward.
The Three-Tails' physical defense was practically invincible, but before the Mangekyo genjutsu that naturally countered it, it was utterly helpless. Its enormous eyes slowly began to change as well.

The cannons floated in midair, as though they existed within an illusionary bubble, giving off an extremely mysterious air.
Spatial overlay!
Just like the Byakugan Wolf in its Kamui state, it could clearly be seen but not touched, because it was not in the same
