I really don't understand why Minato and Itachi are constantly compared, I mean as if they were in the same tier or something.
Minato(20+?) defeated Obito(14) in a few seconds, that is the only person Minato has defeated with a name in the manga:|. That fight was not fair on Obito's part yet Obtio still caused Minato's demise and his wife's, because obviously Obito could crush Minato with only a fraction of his power, Juubi and Rinnegan are overkill.
Maybe a Minato vs Obtio rematch will be coming soon???
Meanwhile, Itachi(11) defeated Oro(30+?) a legendary Sannin in a few seconds, twice... It's also important to note that Oro>Jiraiya(Minato's Sensei).
There are so many other reasons why Itachi>Minato.
I don't even dislike Minato, he is in my top 5 favorite he is essentially the cool version of Naruto

,but these comparisons are silly.
