So reanimated Itachi used Izanami on Kabuto. He then uses Tsukuyomi later. How
is this possible?

If Itachi used Izanami on Kabuto, then how does his Mangekyou Sharingan work?


Itachi set up the Izanami preparation in Tsukuyomi mode, so if Kabuto will be
trapped in the loop in Tsukuyomi as well.

**I'll have to clarify a few things before I answer this question so it is
completely answered.**

  * First off, he used Kotoamatsukami via Shisui's eyes to stop the Edo Tensei influence Kabuto had on him, but Shisui's eyes were placed in a crow.
  * Secondly, Izanagi and Izanami can be used once in _**each**_ eye, as shown with Madara.

Both Izanagi and Izanami result in the loss of vision in one eye, until used
by the other. Madara used Izanagi in one eye to come back to life after
defeated by Hashirama Senju. This resulted in the loss of one eye, but his
vision was then restored when he awakened the Rinnegan after implanting
Hashirama's cells into himself with the intent of getting Wood Style.

"Just like how Itachi implanted the Amaterasu in yours, Sasuke. Madara had
installed the Izanagi in his right
eye."](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ggecj.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ggecj.png)

As shown, only one eye turned white and the other Sharingan remained.

Itachi used Kotoamatsukami to stop Kabuto's influence on him with the
Reanimation Jutsu, as it was set to activate once Naruto looked at Itachi's
eyes, thinking that Sasuke would implant them. And Itachi had two Sharingan,
meaning that Izanami would only blind him in one until he used it in the other
eye as well. He then cast Tsukuyomi with the remaining eye, and thus could use
it after using Izanami.
