This not a bashing nor a troll thread. Please do not post comments like ''You mad lol'' or ''Didn't Read''. This thread is about why I think Sasori can beat both Itachi and Minato individually and why he could or should be in Top 10. Also, all credit does not go to only me. It goes to Owarij, Negative Knight, Penguin2640 and DrProof because I will be listing some tactics they listed.
How Sasori counters FTG and S/T Barrier: To use this techniques, Minato used special marked kunais. With the 3rd Kazekage's magnetism, Sasori can control any metallic weapon he wishes to. Including kunai. Sasori can either put the kunais somewhere where they would be useless or he can destroy them. Althought it wouldn't completely make Minato's FTG useless since he can put marks on the terrain, it would unable Minato to activate the S/T Barrier since it needs a marked kunai to activate.

2nd counter: Sasori's flame throwers can release dense Fire Jutsu which have the abillity to melt kunai. With them Sasori can melt Minato's kunai.
3rd counter: After losing his kunai, Minato will probably begin placing the markings on the terrain, however Sasori can counter this by covering the markings with his Iron Sand or if he needed to, he can destroy the battlefield.
4th counter: By stepping on an Iron Sand cube, Sasori can fly up. Because of that Minato's Jutsu won't be able to reach him. Combine this with the previous three counters and you'll see that the possibility of Minato using FTG against Sasori is minium.
How Sasori counters Rasengan: Sasori can envelope himself in a full Iron Sand Prison just like Gaara. It was shown that Chidori can somewhat pierce Gaara's sand, but Chidori is a technique meant for piercing unlike Rasengan. And Iron Sand can withstand much more than normal sand. If Minato by any chance tries to barrage him with Rasengans, Sasori could suddenly spike up his Iron Sand prison.
2nd counter: Like I said before, Sasori can fly up and get out of Minato's range.
How Sasori counters Foodcart Destroyer and Frog summonings: While in the air, Sasori can kill the frogs with his Iron Sand. It would pierce the frog's skin and even poison them. The attack will surely land since the frogs are too big. He can do that while he is on the ground also.

After Sasori counters all of Minato's techniques, he's pretty much done for.

How Sasori counters Fire and Water Jutsu: This doesn't need much explaining. Sasori can counter this with his Iron Sand. Either making a wall or a shield.
How Sasori counters Tsukuyomi and other Genjutsu: Sasori could possibly be the only person in Narutoverse that is truly immune to Genjutsu since he has no brain and only a heart. To drag someone into a Genjutsu, the target has to have a brain, but doesn't have one. Now some of you may ask ''How would he think then?'', well it's the same as how Hidan can talk even after his head has been sliced off. It's fiction, things like this are possible.
How Sasori counters Amaterasu: Sasori can defend himself from Amaterasu just like Gaara did, by shedding his Iron Sand.
2nd counter: Sasori can envelope himself into a full Iron Sand Prison and since he doesn't need to breathe, this won't be a problem for him.
3rd counter: If Amaterasu somehow lands, Sasori can change his body by making his heart go into an another puppet. And he has exactly 296 puppets to use for this.
How Sasori counters Susano'o: Sasori can make the pre used Iron Sand beneath Itachi suddenly spike up and kill Itachi.
2nd counter: While Itachi is in his ribcage stage Susano'o, Sasori could make the Iron Sand bullets go throught the gaps of Susano'o's bones. Plus, the bullets are small and pretty fast, and Sasori needs only one scratch to win.
3rd counter: Sasori can make his Iron Sand attack Itachi constantly from each side. Althought I agree that it won't be able to pierce throught Susano'o due to Yata Mirror it would make Itachi to remain on the defensive. Itachi isn't able to keep Susano'o up for long due to his stamina. Sasori can just wait up in the air while Itachi's chakra reserves fall.
How Sasori counters Yasaka Magatama: It has been shown that Gaara can protect himself from this technique with regular sand, so Sasori should be able to protect himself with Iron Sand.
