It seems to me that at the start of the series Genjutsu was a nigh on undefeatable technique. We we're told that even among high ranking ninjas the rules were "If fighting one on one with a Genjutsu (/Sharingan user) run away". At the same time it seems that Genjutsu has become more and more useless. Almost every enemy that Sasuke has fought has some way not to get caught in the big things thus forcing Sasuke to rely on other techniques or very small genjutsu's (ie the time delay he used on Danzo).
The excuse seems to be simple : All Kage level ninjas have developed ways to either avoid getting hit with genjutsu or become immune to it (like Bee/Hachibi and Naruto/Kyuubi). Because of this Sasuke etc have had to move on and use other techniques in order to fight at Kage level.
My question is therefore simple: why haven't they simply advanced the art of Genjutsu. When Itachi realised no one would look him in the eyes he developed the "finger-poke" technique, so why hasn't Sasuke developed a higher form of Genjutsu tech?
