I'm not considering the scenario about Nagato because it's irrelevant to what I was saying. But, Kabuto did go after Itachi instead, he would form Susanoo of course 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 can't just take what the Databooks says without the manga giving some insight on it. It's as I said, if the weapon was that powerful, why is the best feats of it, blocking a small sword and a few small explosions. All the Databook is saying is hype. And the Yata Mirror has been shown twice times, but was never used in a way to make us believe it was that powerful.

Itachi was wasted time with the Yata Mirror, and the Yata Mirror never lived up to its hype. You can blame circumstance, I blame Kishi's lack of proof.
