He could just wield these weapons himself and avoid the whole "using Susanoo makes every cell in my body hurt" problem. He didn't. he could've thwarted Obito's entire plan by sealing a Biju with his Totsuka blade and then offing himself. I'm sure that considering his Hokage Mentality, he would've put the safety of the world over his little brother obsession?

Itachis is a powerful Ninja, definitely high tier and comparable to Jiraiya in power. But stuff like the Totsuka blade and Yata mirror only have this extreme power in Itachi fan's heads. The demonstrated power simply doesn't compare with hypothetical abilities, and i don't see any reason for the leap of faith of several orders of magnitude. I find it questionable that it could seal a Biju, let alone the Juubi.
