look you just said "it all depends".... thats why i left out genjutsu, if we dont know how he'll react or any techs. on genjutsu he has, how can i mention it.Dude I am both an Itachi and Minato fan and your argument is invalid.
You just threw out genjutsu because of the fact that we don't know how Minato would react to it. Well you can't do that.
No one is immune to genjutsu, the only thing is that some people can break out of it easier than others. So Minato would get caught in a genjutsu if he looked at Itachi's hands or eyes.
Then it all depends on how fast Minato can break the genjutsu. If he can't do it fast enough then he can be killed easily by Itachi in any number of ways.
Blaze Release was a little biased I will give you that, he forgot to mention a few of Minato's abilities, but the first scenario is where Minato would lose it.
Itachi uses genjutsu, Minato loses. Itachi's genjutsu doesn't work, Minato wins. It is pretty much as simple as that.
i also left out fuinjutsu for the same reasons.... you cant really say my argument is invaild because i left out one thing we are unaware of..
and you still cant be very simplistic, saying "itachi wins if he gets genjutsu first or minato wins if he doesnt". thats like saying, the first one to hit the other one wins in a boxing match... you cant be simplistic.

also, you make it seem like my post only revolved around genjutsu. i made othepoints.. they dont seem invalid to me. but if you want i can still provide ways itach can catch minato/ways minato wont be catched.. or whatever..
