Genjutsu works by manipulating the nervous system of the opponent, and thus creates images and illusions within their brain, affecting any one of the senses. Internal energy is almost entirely physical and embodies his body, which means it would be strongly tied to Yang, genjutsu is almost entirely mental and embodies thought and its strongly tied to Yin. Sannoto would be attempting to use something physical in an attempt to target something ethereal, there's a reason that martial artists of Naruto have so little aptitude for genjutsu you know?

Now, here's the problem - unlike most forms of genjutsu which are of the fire-and-forget type, Fuyuki's genjutsu is self-sustaining and persistent. A normal genjutsu could be compared to a powerful stream of energy coursing through your network, which naturally has a beginning and an end.

Compared to that, Fuyuki's Genjutsu is an extremely ferocious riptide, its continuous, torrential and extremely powerful on its own. But this isn't truly the biggest obstacle, the biggest obstacle is that the water and resulting mist, not to mention the air humidity are all cooperating with Fuyuki in delivering the Genjutsu. As another analogy, imagine that Sannoto is being simultaneously bitten by several dozen serpents, which all have a very powerful venom and whom continuously inject more and more venom into different parts of his body.

Keep in mind, that Sannoto's internal energy, is by no means a powerful resource in and of itself, it needs to be directed and harnessed in exquisite ways. His style is very similar to the Gentle Fist, and as you know, not even the masterful chakra control and ability to use all tenketsu of the Hyuga clan was enough to make chakra enough on its own. Eight Trigrams Rotation, arguably one of the most infamous Hyuga techniques is only effective for as long as the Hyuga is spinning.

But, I'll address your statement. Well, lets for a moment here imagine that internal energy, on its own, is powerful and advanced enough to dispel high-level genjutsu. This would require a great amount of skill in the application and usage of genjutsu, this is where we can compare our characters. Considering Sannoto's ability section, his skills within genjutsu are largely nonexistent, and his stats value for it is as 1. Meanwhile, I've devoted 11 paragraphs to describing Fuyuki's own ability in vivid detail, and his respective stats value for genjutsu is at 5. It should be quite obvious that Sannoto's skills in genjutsu would pale before those of Fuyuki's, in much the same way that Fuyuki would be beaten to a pulp if he was ever stupid enough to challenge Sannoto to anything remotely resembling a martial contest.

Anyway, back on track, if Sannoto's internal energy was strong and advanced enough to effect genjutsu then he'd still be incapable of stopping Fuyuki's genjutsu assault. Because of its sheer ferocity, the energy needed to keep Fuyuki's genjutsu at bay for even a moment would be enormous, as its fuelled by every single drop of water, every single mote of mist in conjunction with Fuyuki's own powers. He's drawing his energy from a finite source to attempt to meet a power which is basically infinite in how it can recycle and reapply itself. Sannoto attempting to resist its influence, deflect it, or keep it at bay would be about as difficult as trying to swim up a waterfall. Or alternatively, as likely as you or I attempting to swim against the stream of a riptide, like we would be in such a situation Sannoto would find himself exhausted FAST and due to how Fuyuki set this little genjutsu trap, even his absolute utmost won't be enough. You can't solve this problem by mere power, Beserk.
