@Baku well proving it changed size is pretty easy. Look at chatper 551 page 14. Look how far susanoo is from nagato. Naruto bee and itachi are so far away that they are about the size of nagatos head. Consider that nagato and itachi are about the same size in height. Look how big the yata mirror is in that panel compared to nagato who like I said is a good distance away. Compare the size of the yata mirror to its size in chapter 392 page 4. Then compare the size of it in chaper 392 page 8 the shield isn't even touching the ground. In chapter 392 page 10, all of a sudden the shield expands in size greatly. You can tell because it matched the size of the 8 headed snakes and the shield is now touching the ground when it wasnt 2 panels before. If the yata mirror can do a simple change in size like that to adapt to he snakes, that verifies that he databook is telling the truth. It showed in can alter any of its attributes, in this case size, to adapt to the attack. This isnt hype, we have seen the yata mirror in action. People just dont pay attention. The anime also shows the size change. Then in page 6 chapter 393, the shield is touching the ground and is covering itachi in response tosasukes paper bombs, but its much smaller than it was earlier in the fight. And if you compare that size to its size in the nagato fight, its ALOT smaller.

The yata mirror can easily deflect truth seeking balls. Hiruzen said the balls likely are a combination of the more than 3 elements. Tobirama also confirmed they also contain ying and yang. Guess what, the yata mirror contains all the elements so it can use those to counter the attributes of the truth seeking ball. You aren't taking into consideration itachi is smarter than nagato. When it comes to sneak attacks itachi is superior.The sharingan gives itachi insight on what nagato is going to do before he does it. Nagato isnt getting off all those technique s in a fraction of a second, and itachi isn't gonna be wasting time cutting down the summons when he can just stab nagato. You are making the mistake of comparing it to the orochimaru fight. That was completely different because itachi needed to wait till orochimaru showed himself. Thats the only reason he was cutting down the summons. Nagato wont be distracting itachi that easily in the first place. The yata mirror negates shinra tensi and nagato will also have to deal with genjutsu. Overall like I said itachi will lose 1 time out of ten because his stamina, even when healthy is leagues below nagato's

And I forgot this is healthy itachi, so no he doesnt have tuberculosis. Part one itachi was fine on stamina. He used 2 tsyukyomi and 1 amatersau, split his stamina in half by using a shadow clone versus kakashi, used a water style and he was still fine after. He only shut off his mangeyko after because he didnt want to go blind. Edit: actually he was tired after, but still that was after splitting his stamina in half
