If he tries to lock Nagato into taijutsu straight away you know he's gonna get Shurado-ed. If Itachi can use Susanoo whilst held (Which is unlikely since Bee didn't transform. Maybe he was getting his chakra drained at the same time who knows.) Nagato just pushes him away sets up CT, game setho MATCH.

Also I do believe that Itachi Bee and Naruto weren't needed to defeat Nagato's CT but I don't think YM is enough to stop it.

People need to learn to draw a line when in comes to a Shinobi's intelligence. You can only give a character so much leeway before you say "Ok s/he is really smart but they do not have the tools to win unfortunately."

1. Same reason he didn't attempt genjutsu, shadow clones explosion and other stuff. plot

2. shurado? didn't i already say 3T perception > asura path?

3. yes, petra could absorb susanoo. but did you forget that itachi isn't bound by susanoo? he himself can still move and use jutsus.

4. deva + CT, nice combo actually. but honestly i don't see the point of it if he were already caught in genjutsu. and if he were to close his eyes while preforming the combo, what's to stop itachi from just throwing kunai's w/susanoo up? (remember predicting ability) there is so many variables win situation lol

5. tbh that is 100% assumption whether itachi can destroy it on his own or not. there is no evidences that indicate either way. all we know is those 3 ninja's atk with their strongest and it worked.

6. idk man, itachi was the one to figure out CT weakness asap with no intel, wired amaterasu into sasuke that would've killed obito had he not kept secrets and solo'ed narutox2 and kakashi in gen even with prior knowledge on how to stop it. where as nagato seem to of been fooled in and out of battle each time.

7. honestly that's the just it. itachi not only has the smartness, but he has the right TOOLS to stop nagato. he's not unbeatable, but he certainly has all the right answers against nagato. if nagato limbo like madara did, then maybe. but honestly CT or nagato loses. no other way possible
