Nope. Log off, don't log back in till you stop posting fanfic.
Itachi by canon disrupted paths abilities in one page that took jiraiya several chapters to do. What hope does pein have against multiple itachis? Nothing. Itachi is faster in movement and most jutsu execution. So either you or someone else tell me how deva is one shotting without any fatal disruptions then maybe ill come into terms.
Like, Naruto was feinting the 6POP with smoke bombs man. Itachi absolutely trashes them. Don't understand why they get so overrated on here.
Gotcha and I guess it does make sense since CT is a deva path ability and it's not like he can attract and repel at the same time so if it wasn't in the Manga, he most likely can't use other Deva Path abilities while using CT.
Question now is if his Magatama could destroy the core. It doesn't have explosive power which isn't needed but it does have penetration which is what's needed against the core.
The core is able to withstand tons of pressure from all the debris that stacks all over it without being crushed so it does have some resilience on its own.
Will the Magatama be able to pierce it?
One argument that I've seen so far and haven't seen a counter to is Itachi using Amaterasu on Deva the moment he sets up CT. He'd have to cancel out CT to repel the flames but not without some damage since it's bound to have atleast 5 seconds of a cooldown.
If it were Nagato, he could use Preta Path but when it comes to the 6pop, Deva Path can't use other paths. Preta Path is a different body entirely. CST required all other paths to be put out of commission so CT will most likely require the same thing.
Good point about Magnatama's. There really isn't any way to prove or disprove if they'd be able to destroy the black sphere. Any attempt at that would simply be conjecture. Amaterasu is another alternative. It burns through chakra, but then again, we don't know if the black sphere is a construct of chakra. Worst case scenario, Itachi just aims his Amaterasu at Deva instead to make him cancel out CT.
The only sure thing is Itachi not letting Deva set it off. Deva would have to create space between him and Itachi to successfully get CT off, but how would he do that? His best shot is a ST, but we canonically saw V2 Naruto

, which allowed him to completely withstand the repelling force. Sasuke did the very same thing with his Susano'o against Danzou's fuuton combination [

]. Is V2 Naruto physically superior to a V3 or V4 Susano'o? Doubt it, so I don't see ST creating any distance between Itachi and Deva either.
Completely agreed with all the bolded. That is another reason why CT would never work. And Itachi is tiers faster than SM Naruto, so he'd exploit and abuse that 5 second cool down easily.
Edit: Actually, Nagato wouldn't be able to use any of the paths either while using CT. As you can see behind him with the two puffs of smoke, he had to deactivate Naraka and Animal Path. Also, next time we see him, Asura Path was deactivated too. He couldn't even defend himself after CT was destroyed, which means he probably required a quick cool down as well. This guy isn't as hacked as people think.
