@Actionmanrandell.

I could care less if you see it as "dik riding", as far as I am concerned you are biased based on everything you just typed. why won't you listen to reason? The yata mirror deflects the truth seeking orb, it's the writer's word, period. Is the truth seeking orb projectile an attack meant to do damage or harm to itachi and his susano'o? yes. So it gets deflected. The Yata mirror is literally made of the same thing a truth seeking orb is, but better because unlike a regular truth seeking orb, it perfectly changes it's properties in accordance with the attack. It doesn't matter how fast the attack is or where it comes from or how powerful, itachi and his susano'o will be protected. You can see it clear as day in the manga. Chapter 393 pg 8, yata mirror changes in size to protect susano'o from paper bombs. Chapter 392 pg 10, yata mirror clearly expanding in size and deflecting the snakes.

That said, the Yata mirror isn't an offensive technique, it's purely defensive. It does what it needs to do to protect itachi and his susano'o but that's all. It didn't vaporize the snakes, it simply walled/deflected them upward and backward such that they couldn't get through to his susano'o, it's itachi's job to do the offensive measures. Same thing with sasuke, it simply deflected sasuke's sword and made sure it didn't get through. As such, the yata mirror wouldn't stop kaguya's dimensional shifting and stuff but she won't be able to lay a finger on him, and nothing in the environment is harming his susano'o with yata up. And those claiming itachi needed help to break chibaku tensei clearly have a distorted view of the manga. The yata mirror is defensive, not offensive. It would stop chibaku tensei from harming itachi but it wouldn't advance his gamestate. He destroys the core because that's common sense, and nothing says all 3 attacks were absolutely necessary, and he used it as a smokescreen to blitz the living hell out of Nagato with ease. It doesn't matter that the yata mirror is passive, it's a shield.

You even twisted black zetsu's words. He said he is invincible with Yata and totsuka, period. Next you will behave like Loneninja and claim Zetsu isn't a credible source when 1) he has seen all of shinobi history 2) he is an information specialist 3) orochimaru was also searching for those weapons 4) he is the will of Kaguya. 5) Black zetsu's only purpose that entire fight was to be the commentator for the audience, so there is no bias in his statements. 6)Black Zetsu isn't omniscient, but his statement is supported by the databook which didn't just give baseless hyperbole, it gave a stated MECHANIC for why it's invincible, because it isn't a static shield, it's extremely malleable and doesn't have a physical form to begin with. It can change any of properties, nothing says it only adjusts an element. 7) it doesn't need to have feats, it worked as stated in the manga and itachi was restricted by plot in the scenarios he could have used it.

That said, the Yata mirrors only weakness in itachi's hands is that he needs complete body susano'o to wield it, plus he can't maintain it forever. the invincibility only last sufficient he can maintain susano'o.

But anyways,You don't listen to the author's word just because you don't want a fictional character to be that powerful, what kind of logic is that?
