Nobody Ever Said That The Totsuka Blade Can Only Seal People. It Can Probably Seal Nagato's Summonings Too, In Which Case He's Fucked. 1) How's Itachi going to move the Yata Mirror to his Susanoo's back? Also, Susanoo isn't some impenetrable barrier, and neither is it immune to being thrown around like a ragdoll if Nagato uses powerful bursts of Shinra Tensei from the back or sideways. Never forget one thing: The power of Itachi's Susanoo doesn't even come close to Madara's Perfect Susanoo. We've seen Nagato destroy an entire village and still defeat Sage Mode Naruto (Kurama saved Naruto's ass yet again in that fight). And that was an emaciated, crippled, washed out Nagato. Prime Nagato with full vitality and mobility can easily toss away Itachi's Susanoo from the back with Shinra Tensei. Remember Danzo's summon, that thing called Baku? It nearly sucked Sasgay's Susanoo away from him. Had Sasgay not used his fireball jutsu, Sasgay's Susanoo protection would have gone. Same thing can be done by Nagato with his Shinra Tensei from Susanoo's back.

2) Yes, Nagato's summons can most probably be sealed. Unfortunately for Itachi, he has 3 main obstacles to seal enough of them:

i) Itachi needs to summon his Susanoo and then wield the Totsuka Blade, which takes some time. Nagato can summon a fuck lot of monsters in that same time.

ii) Nagato is a sensor. He can immediately sense that Itachi is going to pull out some bigass jutsu the moment Itachi kneads the chakra necessary for that jutsu. So the moment Itachi kneads chakra for stuffs like Amaterasu, Susanoo and other jutsus, Nagato will be alerted, in which case he will prepare to counterattack or defend against Itachi.

iii) Because of points (i) and (ii), Nagato is highly likely to summon a good number of his monsters while Itachi starts kneading his chakra for Susanoo. The result is that there are a bunch of huge, dangerous creatures with shared vision, in addition to Nagato's sensing abilities. So the moment Itachi tries doing something funny against Nagato's summons, both the shared vision and Nagato's sensory mode will ensure that Itachi will fail.
