To all those still doubting yata mirror like I said the example on 392 page 8 is TOO BIG a change in size to simply be an aritst error. I dont attribute the size change to just those panels, the size change is directly supported by databook. We are taliking about a magical shield that can change ANY of its properties. If it can change size, whats stopping it from changing curvature, shape, width, lengths,  all these various properties when it's endowed with every single element in the naruto universe and can deflect any attack. I think most people just dont want to believe Kishimoto would give itachi such a broken shield, but hey he was anbu black op commander at age 13 and had wisdom of a hokage at age 7 and graduated the academy at 8 I think, somerthing sasuke of all people commended him on.

@Asian I never said theyy beat nagato but they outsmarted him. Kakashi lured pain into a trap with a kunai smoke bomb that used shinra tensi to his advantage. Jiriaya caught thrm in genjutsu ina clever way using a shadow clone to lure away preta path and break their shared vision. Naruto tricked pain multiple times, with transformation jutsu smoke screens etc.Pain is mostly brawms.he is good at battle formations and is experienced but he isnt exactly intelligent.

Nagato can absorb susanoo but he would have to touch it and by then he would be hit by totuska blade which he cant absorb. Nagato's ability to absorb ninjutsu is fine because itachi only needs genjutsu and totuska blade to beat him.

Im not even gonna sugercoat it, itachi is unmatched 1v1 because of his own skill, yata mirror amd totuska. The yata mirror pushes him over the edge imo.
