the majority of people itachi has faced has had more stamina than him, itachi is the most intelligent character, and itachi has the better jutsu, and what does being a hokage have to do with anything??? kage get solo'd to by non-kage....Minato has higher stamina, inteligence, better jutsu, and was hokage.
He was also OP as **** during his time, taking on armies by himself, and having a flee on sight order from enemies. Itachi ran away from Jiraiya when it was 2v1. :|
llab thats too funny, thats sounds like something itachi would say....AIDS guy solos.
Wannabe space time user - "FTG!!! Spacetime barrier!!!"
AIDS guy - "Foolish 4th Hokage, inside the Tsukuyomi all of space all of time is under my control."
edo tensei improved minato past his prime just like madara, alive itachi was considered invincible until he overused his ocular powers so his edo form is basically invincible not only that but he solo'd the war and saved the SA and even saved nartuo and bee along the way, kabuto praised itachi even in his dsm form, nagato praised itachi and even placing him on equal footing with him, too many shinobi have praised itachi even while he is dead...Both characters were pretty cool before edo tensei and fanboys...
I'd say Itachi.
but dnt u realize how hard it is to fight someone without looking at them....gai said he used that strategy on kakashi all these years and up until now kakashi > gai so that feet watching stuff is crap, and also minato knws nothing about itachi, everyone knws minato was the hokage and he was the fastest shinobi ever and used ftg...Tsukoyami is a sure win for itachi because minato doesnt know anything about itachi....Minato can easily dodge all of Itachi's ninjutsu arsenal fire/water jutsu plus Susanoo attacks fairly easily.
Itachi can easily counter FTG v2 by deflecting kunai in air and base rasengan doesn't break any form of Susanoo.
Similar levels of intelligence.
Minato has good sensing skills, Itachi has the Sharingan's visual prowess.
Minato has better stamina than Itachi but Itachi has a better arsenal of combat oriented techniques.
Minato can arguably counter Amaterasu by teleporting only his body away (leaving the flames behind) or he can sense it and dodge accordingly.
Minato has no known counter for Tsukoyomi.
If Minato gets caught in Tsukoyomi, then Itachi wins.
If Minato outlasts Itachi chakra-wise and doesn't get caught in genjutsu, then Minato wins
Minato could also use Kage Bunshin(which can also use FTG) to gain info on Itachi's abilities.but dnt u realize how hard it is to fight someone without looking at them....gai said he used that strategy on kakashi all these years and up until now kakashi > gai so that feet watching stuff is crap, and also minato knws nothing about itachi, everyone knws minato was the hokage and he was the fastest shinobi ever and used ftg...Tsukoyami is a sure win for itachi because minato doesnt know anything about itachi....
Itatch didn't want to fight jiraiya due to the fact that him and kisame would make a scene and probably create a war of their own considering the mission was to capture naruto and knowing kisame he would have killed sasuke and killed a few of the leafs jonin (not might gai he's a beast) and itachi would have been forced to kill to keep his cover.Minato has higher stamina, inteligence, better jutsu, and was hokage.

so itachi has clones as well, but anyway itachi can use genjutsu undetectable to sensors as stated by Ao so, yes and the Raikage and his regime was well aware of amaterasu ad genjutsu but that doesnt mean they could have stopped it, the raiakge and cee were both placed under weak genjutsu, Ay was caught in madara's basic sharingan genjutsu and couldnt break himself out on his own, and cee was placed under sasuke's weak genjutsu, tsukoyami > than any other genjutsu even ka because its only capable of being used once in 10 years so if u fight multiple opponents ka is useless which explains why danzo got the other ms eye from shi sui, but the key thing is this, base wise itachi still has the edge minato's only hope of avoid itachi and gaining the upper hand is ftg but he still has to throw the kunai and as u explained itachi is arguably the best kunia/shuriken user ever he could easily deflect it and render ftg useless and the whole clones gaining information is out the widow because itachi uses tsukoyami from the jump mainly while his opponents are talking so minato would have already been hit...i knw minato is cool and is extremely fast and is the only young hokage but he is not better than itachiMinato could also use Kage Bunshin(which can also use FTG) to gain info on Itachi's abilities.
Plus assuming that both alive they will have info on each other due to their reputations. Even the Raikage's bodyguards, Kankuro, Ao, and Shikaku were aware of Itachi's skills with Amaterasu/genjutsu
not only that but kisame said he wasnt capable of beating jiraya but we all knw now kisame > jiraya and part 2 > part 1Itatch didn't want to fight jiraiya due to the fact that him and kisame would make a scene and probably create a war of their own considering the mission was to capture naruto and knowing kisame he would have killed sasuke and killed a few of the leafs jonin (not might gai he's a beast) and itachi would have been forced to kill to keep his cover.
so he avoided that fight by saying to kisame that they would get their backsides handed to them if they were to fight jiraiya.
not only that nut kisame said he wasnt capable of beating jiraya but we all knw now kisame > jiraya and part 2 > part 1Itatch didn't want to fight jiraiya due to the fact that him and kisame would make a scene and probably create a war of their own considering the mission was to capture naruto and knowing kisame he would have killed sasuke and killed a few of the leafs jonin (not might gai he's a beast) and itachi would have been forced to kill to keep his cover.

Yea you are right, genjutsu is Itachi's biggest advantage over Minato, and if Itachi starts off with Tsukoyomi or another visual genjutsu (like the paralysis one that soloed Orochimaru) and it hits, he would most likely take the win.so itachi has clones as well, but anyway itachi can use genjutsu undetectable to sensors as stated by Ao so, yes and the Raikage and his regime was well aware of amaterasu ad genjutsu but that doesnt mean they could have stopped it, the raiakge and cee were both placed under weak genjutsu, Ay was caught in madara's basic sharingan genjutsu and couldnt break himself out on his own, and cee was placed under sasuke's weak genjutsu, tsukoyami > than any other genjutsu even ka because its only capable of being used once in 10 years so if u fight multiple opponents ka is useless which explains why danzo got the other ms eye from shi sui, but the key thing is this, base wise itachi still has the edge minato's only hope of avoid itachi and gaining the upper hand is ftg but he still has to throw the kunai and as u explained itachi is arguably the best kunia/shuriken user ever he could easily deflect it and render ftg useless and the whole clones gaining information is out the widow because itachi uses tsukoyami from the jump mainly while his opponents are talking so minato would have already been hit...i knw minato is cool and is extremely fast and is the only young hokage but he is not better than itachi
if u are not and uchiha u lose to genjutsu
if u dnt knw yourself u lose to izanami
if u are too slow u lose to amaterasu/totsuka
if u are immortal u lost to totsuka
if u are stupid u lose to intelligence
minato falls under one of those categories as well as 98% of nv...
