Jinchuriki were arguably the people who feared genjutsu the least.
After all, their bodies held two souls: besides the jinchuriki themselves, there were the far more important tailed beasts.
Once a jinchuriki fell under genjutsu, the tailed beast inside could use a surge of its powerful chakra to break them free.
And since Killer B had prepared in advance and refused to look into Itachi's eyes, Itachi's strongest genjutsu, Tsukuyomi, had no opportunity to work.
"I'll have to do this the hard way."
If there were any other option, Itachi would never choose to fight a prolonged battle against the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
This was different from capturing the Two-Tails.
Maple City was merely a town within the Land of Lightning, but this was Kumogakure—the Land of Lightning's military headquarters!
If they got bogged down in a prolonged battle here, other Cloud Shinobi would inevitably come to help.

Red chakra instantly poured out of Itachi Uchiha's body, forming an incredibly sturdy giant skeleton in the air.
Susanoo, activate!
"Oh? So you're using that troublesome ability now?"
Killer B's expression grew grave. Clearly, the Cloud Shinobi in Maple City had sent Kumogakure plenty of intelligence about their enemies.
Unwilling to waste time, Itachi Uchiha commanded the massive skeleton to slam a fist down at Killer B.
"In that case, I'm counting on you, Eight!"
Facing something so enormous with his human body would be difficult, so as a perfect jinchuriki, Killer B immediately chose to draw on his tailed beast's power.
An immensely thick octopus tentacle covered in suckers suddenly sprouted from his body, blocking the incoming fist like a powerful arm.
Boom!
The massive skeleton unleashed terrifying force, knocking Killer B back over a dozen meters.
It might have looked as though he had gained the upper hand, but
