Utter bs, Using genjutsu on a fodder doesn't = to him using it at every chance he got..

Sasuke used it on shee, Yet gaara looked into his eyes and he didn't use it there.. You have no idea who made eye contact and who didn't..

and what difference does a fodder make?
he was foolish enough to look into the eye
The kages were NOT

Minato lacks long-range techniques and he would have to go close to Itachi, but that's perfect chance for Itachi to use genjutsu. Also even if Minato throws FTG kunais around the place, Itachi could just use his fire techniques to burn the seals that are in the kunais, which means that FTG lvl 1 becomes useless. And FTG lvl 2 is perfect technique against close-range fighter, so it wouldn't work on Itachi.

I don't get it why people are saying that anyone could just avoid eye contact with his opponent and fight him with the same force, since looking into his opponents eyes is just a matter of habit. Sakura admitted that it isn't easy to avoid eye contact and this is true, since someone like Itachi could easily force you to look into his eyes.

I don't even understand how people think that once you stop making eye contact, you can EVER fight the same way as you did with it...
This is the reason gai had to develop a technique to fight on par with kakashi .. Because when he wasn't making eye contact, he could not follow movements etc at all..
Not making eye contact would hinder ANYONE greatly.. Unless they have some experience or ability to change that

Dude, even before Izanami, Koto amatsukami and Susanoo.
Itachi was > Minato.

They aren't even in the same leagues.

Itachi has been considerably nerfed throughout Naruto simply for Kishi to give other characters a chance.

Itachi never tried a genjutsu on Kakashi because everyone knows he has sharingan, and sharingan helps see through genjutsu...THAT IS OBVIOUS.... It's why itachi went to tsukyomi instead to deal with kakashi

In part 2 kakashi learnt his lesson and was not looking at itachi's eyes... he even told naruto, sakura etc not to do it

Orochimaru isn't a retard, He is as smart or is smarter than Minato, and i have seen nothing in this manga to suggest that he isn't as assiduous as Minato, Kakashi or any other genius in the manga...
Orochimaru as smart or smarter than Minato? Are we reading the same manga or are you just joking? Anyway i wasn't even talking about intelligence here but fighting style. Orochimaru eventhough he is smart is one of the most careless fighter that exist in NU after people like Hidan or Tsunade. He think he is immortal and can't die, so he is careless in most of his fights. He is probably really smart, but careless in fights(2 things different). You can even see it when he got stabbed by totsuka. He was too careless that he didn't even see that coming and was laughing after cuz he thought he is immortal. Don't compare him to Minato or Kakashi. They don't fight the same way not even close

This has been asked before.

IMO it would take great reflexes to do it but that is what Minato has, Minato wins, Mid diff.

Here's how the battle goes down.

Minato: Hmmm...seems I've been brought from the belly of the Shinigami to entertain a bunch of bored Naruto fans by fighting Itachi.

Itachi: I finally died and these guys brought me back. Oh, well. Long time no see Minato. I remember when you and Kushina-san used to visit mother all the time. Then you guys died....then I killed mom.

Minato: why the f-uck would you do that?

Itachi: Cuz Danzo said so.

Minato: That mofo?! Wait, the rest of the Uchiha clan just let you do that?

Itachi: Umm....I sorta...killed them too.

Minato: De fuq?! You massacred your whole family?!

Itachi: well. Me and some masked dude who calls himself Madara.


Minato: You a-sshole. You idiot! He attacked Konoha with the Kyubi and made me seal myself for all eternity!!!


Itachi: Yeah...he told me. Sorry bout that.

Minato: and you still worked with him?!

Itachi: well, Uchiha wanted to destroy Konoha...they were gonna stage a coup. Your son Naruto could have died, he's lucky I got into Akatsuki and was being lazy about capturing him

Minato: Hmmm...no arguing with that...well, let's get a drink. You're above 20, right?

Itachi: Yeah, but alcohol kills man.

Minato: we're already dead. Come on, I'll take you to the best strip club in the afterlife.

Itachi: Yondaime! You're married!

Minato: don't worry, I sealed myself away and let Kushina die. She can't catch me now. Why do you think they call me genius? *winks*

I don't get people who think genjutsu can simply catch everyone that easily. If it's the case then you could easily say that Itachi beats everyone Hashirama included, right?

Hashirama is not Minato. He fought Madara and has won, what means that he had his possibilities. Is Hashiramas victory a reason for saying that Minato could also? He could, but he could also not. And if you start to talk about his Genjutsus, you should back up your claims with proofs.

1) Yes, Orochimaru has deciphered things and created jutsu that other than kabuto I don't believe any other in the manga could do.. Even Madara was surprised at what they had done..

Orochimaru knows he's immortal and thus can take attacks, but how in the world does that translate to being careless.. where in the manga has he been careless? Careless would be looking at tbb and tanking it thinking he won't die... He CLEARLY knows his limits to regeneration... His regenerative properties obviously would not extend to a jtusu that attacks the mind..As for totsuka sword, Once again, how is that being careless? He's in a giant snake mode, and obviously mobility is something that he doesnt' have in that form... How would he dodge the sword? It was SHEER bad luck that the sword turned out to be the totsuka sword in the first place..

Minato has the speed to be able to fight proficiently while avoiding eye contact, in the same way Yondaime Raikage did, however Itachi has many methods outside of eye contact for delivering Genjutsu: Crow, Finger, Totsuka, Izanami. All of these different Genjutsu delivery methods are going to make avoiding Genjutsu very difficult for Minato who does not have a great deal of knowledge on Itachi's capabilities and tendencies.

But Itachi faces a similar predicament. He has the speed and shuriken proficiency to deflect Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai, but Minato has tons of delivery methods for getting the Flying Thunder God seal near his enemy since he can place it on anything. Again all of these delivery methods are going to make avoiding being flash blitz very difficult for Itachi who does not have a great deal of knowledge on Minato's capabilities and his tendencies.

This is why a match between the two of them could go ether way and also shows why they are in a same tier since the outcome of their match would come down to knowledge or plot.

I find that claim laughable.

Tobi wasn't even using Genjutsus on Minato, even when when they crossed their eyes. Btw Tobi was controlling Kurama at that moment anyways. You can't simply say that Genjutsus won't work on Minato since Hashirama won against Madara in a battle whose conditions we don't know about. Genjutsus affect every being, that's a fact. Kabutos way to escape the Genjutsus of the Uchiha brothers was to close his eyes and to rely on his sensor abilities. If Minato looks into Itachis eyes, he will lose due to Tsukuyomi and if he will avoid eye contact during the battle with success (what is a mere assumption) there is still the danger for him to be caught in a Genjutsu Itachi is using with an other part of his body, for example his finger.

the biggest drawback of itachi - he is a weak willed man full of hesitation
he could not save the clan and village both together
now that itachi fans are having some trouble with itachi getting down rated in other threads
they are picking fight on minato :sy:

itachi fans are trolling here that's all

why are you pulling that thing out in this thread?
this thread has to do nothing with itachi saving the clan and the village

btw they have always been equal from the beginning U_U

To many things to take into consideration here. Avoid eye contact, engage in relentless taijutsu, and stay behind your opponent and the win goes to Minato. Activate mangekyo sharingan, make Amaterasu barrier around you to force minato to fight in midair, than proceed to activate susanoo and it goes to Itachi.

i would have to say itachi would win mostly because he has powerful moves such as his genjustsu, susano'o, and amaterasu. plus he is in his own league just the same as minato is but if itachi makes a single microscopic mistake he will lose but then again minato only has to land a single seal on itachi unless itachi knew way ahead how to defend that attack with a genjustsu soo im with itachi but minato will be the toughest opponent he has ever faced just because of how quick minato can change the battle, no pun intended, to me its all about inticipation in the end who ever can change the battle with one more second before their opponent will win and please dont envy what i say.
