Even if Naruto learnt how to counter normal Genjutsu, he would be no match for the MS. That argument is like saying Sakura would be able to neutralise the MS, which is BS.
He didn't use Kyuubi's chakra then. You must admit it's at least a possibility that he can break free of any genjutsu if he sends enough chakra to his brain (in the way Jiraiya described). So the question becomes: who has more chakra? Itachi or the Kyuubi? I'll admit we don't know the answer to that question, especially since the Sasuke/Kyuubi encounter. It seems like some of the Uchiha might have a way of controlling the Kyuubi. But Naruto would clearly dispell Kakashi's MS.

On the other hand, my argument is in response to the claim that attacking Itachi was dumb. His mission was to capture Itachi. As Sarutobi said, you don't know who wins until a fight is over.

On a completely different note: Naruto has mastered a wind element attack. He's probably as strong as many Konoha jounin, but he isn't a jounin yet. What other kind of chakra do you think he'll use? From the look of it, the Kyuubi uses wind element chakra too.
