Itachi can definitely defeat Minato, here's a video so you guys can see where I'm coming from. His intelligence prevails. This video is what I think Itachi and Minato would go like. Itachi can take care of Minato with his Sharingan, and his genjutsu is to be feared. Also most of Minato's arsenal can be taken care of with Susano'o. Here you are;



Thoughts?

this is one of the hardest fights to predict ! each one of these guys have something to beat the other ! minato have the speed which i don't think itachi can keep up with. ! and itachi have the genjutsu which minato isn't immune to it . who fells in the other one trap first will fail. i think this fight is one-shot fight. i mean minato only have to touch and mark and itachi only have to look
PS: susanoo will give minato a hard time !so minato need to kill him befor susanoo
True, both of them only need one opening and the other is done for, but i still think itachi will come out alive because his arsenal is better.

I don't get why everyone thinks Susanoo is the shit. You do realize Minato can just or ?

Honestly i think this is only close because of itachi's genjutsu, everything else Minato can avoid with relative ease.

Minato can't warp inside of it..unless there is an ftg on itachi himself which is unlikely and Susanoo can just poke Gambunta with its sword even in that position and Gamabunta is sealed.

The scan I just posted shows that Minato can warp to any area close to his ftg seal. He can simply have a kunai set near Itachi and then he can warp anywhere near him regardless of whether Itachi is using Susanoo.

Susanoo poke Gamabunta while it's down on the ground with Gamabunta's weight on top of it? I'd love to see that.

This is a very difficult match to call considering both are Top Notch Ninja and its unclear who has more knowledge on their opponents skills in this match. Minato had a student from the Uchiha clan and showed knowledge on Uchiha Madara's capabilities, so one has to figure that he has at least basic knowledge on Sharingan-Mangekyo Sharingan. However Minato lacks specific knowledge on Itachi and Itachi should also have some knowledge of Minato from the history books, so i'd say this could go ether way, with me perhaps leaning slightly towards Minato since he's the main character's father.

Minato has a great speed but that's all he'd have against itachi, and itachi has susano'o, izanami, amaterasu and other qualities that weren't mentioned

Minato mid difficulty. When you are too fast for the sharingan, it's impossible to cast a genjutsu(said by Raikage), so Minato who is even faster it will be even much more difficult. Only chance to cast a genjutsu for Itachi is to wait when Minato is immobile, but i'm sure Minato has knowledge about Sharingan since he knew exactly that Tobi couldn't control the Kyubi for too long for example. That means he learned enough about the hypnotic power of the sharingan to do such a stupid error especially when you know his genius(both of them are genius though)

Minato is much more faster than him and he only needs to touch you one time(putting his marking on you) in close combat to be able to finish the fight anytime he wants thanks to FTG. Itachi would most likely have knowledge about that since he was born after Minato, so he knows that his only chance is to avoid close combat but against someone as fast as Minato, he would be forced to use Susanoo to protect himself and he doesn't have enough stamina to keep up Susanoo for too long. Even for guys like Sasuke or Madara who have much more chakra, we've even seen that in most of their fights they don't use Susanoo all the time cuz of side effects of this jutsu. That's why if he struggles even a bit, Minato could take this opportunity to finish the fight

Minato could even finish the fight much more quicker if he manages to push Itachi into the radius of his FTG jutsu and the radius of this jutsu is great something Itachi most likely doesn't possibly know. So he could fail to notice when it's already over, and that could help Minato to teleport either attacks direct to him(Itachi) with his space time barrier or teleport himself inside Susanoo and finish him

Another possibility could be to destroy/immobilise Susanoo and the user by using Gamabunta(exactly like how he did with the Kyubi), and take advantage smh. There is also another possibility but i think this is already enough to explain why i see Minato winning most likely
