You need to at least provide some feats rather than statements alone. Saying things like Itachi can beat the Juubi Jins and Kaguya based on the fact his Yata Mirror and Totsuka Blade make him 'invincible' is not enough evidence.

For example, DBZ is generally placed tiers of power above Naruto. When the SO6P was first introduced, he was stated to have the ability to 'create all things' and this was shown slightly through his ability to create the moon and make the Tailed Beasts. Now at the end of the series, we know he really wasn't that great, because the moon was a special Chibaku Tensei and the Tailed Beast's were just the splitting of chakra, yet at the time, no one knew he was this underwhelming and hyped him up as a universe buster/creator. There were numerous posts on various sites about the Sage being able to stomp anybody, yet now that we know what Hagoromo's power really is, would people still say such statements?

The answer would likely be no (unless one wants to argue the TSB's beat any non-Sage Mode-esque character) yet a similar thing continues here with Itachi and his mirror. It was stated back before various things were changed (as many did around the war arc) and it has no impressive feats, yet based on the statement alone people think he can beat others whose feats were stated whilst also being shown.

IMO regarding the Yata, unless it is also meant to possess Nature energy or Six Paths chakra/power, it cannot deflect TSB, as they are stated and shown to only be able to be affected in any way by those things. They have physical presence (which is why Kamui/Guy's space warping affected them) yet I think they would go straight through the shield like Obito's through Sasuke's susano'o. Another thing is, would Night Guy be able to blitz through the Yata, given that it warped straight through a TSB shield?
