I'm not considering the scenario about Nagato because it's irrelevant to what I was saying. And lets say Kabuto did go after Itachi instead, he would form Susanoo, considering he wouldn't be able to do much else with the light blinding him and sound hurting him.

I'm not dissing the Yata Mirror. However, you shouldn't blindly following what the Databook says without the manga giving some insight on it. Especially considering how contradicting the Databooks have continued to be. As I said, if the weapon was that powerful, why is its best feats blocking a small sword and a few small explosions. Its entry in the Databook is hype at its finest with no receipts.

Itachi having the Yata Mirror was wasted potential. You can blame circumstance, I blame Kishi's lack of proof.
