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. Well you didn't considered the context in which I made the statement. Just Before this very statement you Said Itachi becomes invincible, Whereas I tried to point otherwise and hence made that statement. It wasn't irrelevant at all. Naruto was caught off Guard despite being one of the great sensor, And all I said was instead of going after Naruto had Nagato had gone after Itachi their was no way he would have survived either. Also you are forgetting the Susanoo was easily able to block those Lunges from Orochimaru's Snake form easily despite those snakes being as big as Manda. And do remember Orochimaru toyed with 4tails(though he did get tired), But this was him at his full fury and he stopped that rampage. So It's not only paper bombs but also that vast 7 headed snake... And I Do agree it's Kishimoto's fault. But what I did want to point out was the fact that Databook have been reliable and very subjective especially when talking about Techniques pros and cons. Take for instance Truth Seeker Orbs, Databook has correctly mentioned and described its pros and cons something what may or may not be conveyed in the cannon(think Kaguya's ability Kekkei Mora such ideas can't be shown in cannon but can be well illustrated and explained in Databook or any other technique which Hagoromo used to create Biju). The usual errors in DB are either mistranslation or character bios or anime filler screwing up. IT's not like Itachi was main character, the guy barely appears in 2 arcs and had relics which Orochimaru had been searching for his whole life. I think that does vouches for authenticity of the hype of those weapons. Couple that up with black zetsus overall comment I would say it could make sense.
