Yagura doesn't have a chance in hell of beating Itachi even him being 14-15yrs when he actually joined Akatsuki according to DB4. What exactly are you considering "plot" keeping Itachi stuck here? It was very clear from the execution that it was the first time Itachi used Amaterasu, and we have no canon certainty of when he first used it. He used Tsukuyomi on Sasuke during the clan massacre, if I'm not mistaken. Besides, the whole circumstances on which one can use Susanoo is a mess. At first, it required having eye specific jutsu awakened in both eyes (Itachi vs Sasuke, third databook), then Obito mentions Susanoo to be the rarest thing a MS user can achieve (Kage Summit, if I recall), and then fourth databook says you only need to have MS in both eyes to be able to do it, which is pretty much every person with MS ever, bar the two cases where a MS user had only one eye.
