Ninja Of War wrote: Itachi's Susanoo doesn't have the lower limbs, meaning it's not mobile enough and since the swamp jutsu literally creates a swamp, it would be nearly impossible for Itachi to avoid. Leaving Susanoo and re-entering it would waste a lot of chakra and stamina, he would probably only do this once if he had to. Placing the Yata mirror above him would leave him wide open for Jiraiya's ultra big ball rasengan. Jiraiya can perform jutsu while his hands are clasped, he was able to maintain a barrier ninjutsu while doing so. Itachi won't be able to use his regular genjutsu on multiple toads, as according to Chiyo, the others will attack while he is preoccupied by the genjutsu.

I also don't think that Itachi would waste Amaterasu on the toads, since he only has a few shots. There is no guarantee that Totsuka blade will even hit, no real speed feats. No it wouldn't, because the yata mirror can change its size to cover the front and top. Even then big ball rasengan canoically couldnt break through rib cage susanoo, so he surely isnt breaching armored susanoo with that. Itachi's susanno not having legs is irrelevant as he can simply deform susanoo then reform it outside of the swamp. When he sees the swamp forming he can use his speed to avoid it. Even if susanoo still gets caught he can just deactivate it and reform it, that barely takes chakra. It only costs chakra to maintain susanoo not deform it. Totuska blade has no speed feats? You mean the blade that hit orochimaru between words? Or the blade that hit nagato, a sensor type, from a MASSIVE distance away before he could even react. You think totuska blade isnt hitting a big target like gamabunta when it only needs to pierce a small portion of its body to seal? And no jiraiya formed the barrier before he clasped his hands. The barrier itself is self sustaining after it is formed.
