so are you saying that the fight would have ended right there? if you are then it's you who underestimates itachi,he has great mastery of kunai, first shown when he was with sasuke and then when he was a little boy and orochimaru thought he was going to kill himself but then marveled at him. and lets not forget that during that shootout he was able to weave a HAND SIGN WITHOUT SASUKE SEEING IT AND HE HAS THE SHARINGAN!!let's put it this way,itachi is a great shinobi as is minato,the fight will not end fast on either sides, I still don't know who would win though. and yes I do believe the FTG is overrated by some people
Tell me where its said that Itachi did handsigns during the shurikanbattle with Sasuke.
If you think, Itachi did some to summon a kage bunshin, youre wrong.
Sasu just thought is was a kage bunshin.
In reality Sasuke was cought in a Genjutsu during this time, cause the bunshin splitted up into several crows. And crowclones are Genjutsu believe me. They dont need handsigns.
And to be a master of weapons doesnt make you defeating FTG cause Minato just throw his kunai around the battleground. it doesnt matter if youre able to block them.
After that he is able to attack from each position.
Do you believe Itachi could block a wave of Kunai coming from nearly everywhere the same second? Minato just has to jump arround with FTG and throw several Kunai after each jump. After some time there are kunai everywhere.
Than youre nearly lost.
