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

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

I have no clue how it works for a reincarnated shinobi, but I guess he used one of his eyes to use izanami and the other eye to use tsukuyomi.

It was Kotoamatsukami from Shisui's eyes he used initially if I'm correct to get rid of Kabuto's reincarnation control. Later he used Izanami on Kabuto.

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

* 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.

> The Izanami is an ocular genjutsu of the Sharingan, that is designed to trap an opponent without eyesight. It was developed to save and reprimand an Izanagi user, for they couldn't handle their power and eventually abused it during battles.

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.

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

And Itachi had two Sharingan, meaning that Izanami would only blind him in one until he used it in the other eye as well.
