Imagine that your shield is THE best shield ever created in European history. Now imagine that you're fighting a battle with the army of a rival feudal lord. One of your enemies is a 7-foot tall hulk of a knight with a giant sword, while you're barely 5 foot 11 inches and are of moderate muscle build. He swings his sword at you. You block the attack with your supremely crafted shield. The sword doesn't cut you, for your shield is far too strong, even for the giant sword. But the brute force of the attack will still send you crashing down to the ground, considering the immense difference between your body size and that of your enemy.

Same thing applies to Itachi and his YM.
