[VS] Itachi vs Minato

[Uverdore9]

Minato get slaughter neg diff eyecontactless Genjutsu.

That fanbase never ceaze surprise me with stupiditys.

 

[SamuraiPrincess]

This is actually a hard matchup,but i guess i give it to Itachi. if Itachi can catch the flash and make eye cotanct with Minato,the battle goes to him,because he just gets trapped in tsukuyomi.

 

[enditallsin]

Minato no difficulty, Itachi would struggle and show tenaciousness,but in the end all his tenacity would do is delay his inevitable defeat and humiliation by minato's hand. They can go 10 out of 10, 50 out of 50,or 100 out of 100 and minato would win every single time. Hell i'll even explain a little, its not possible for minato to be caught with a genjutsu like itachis,or in general(excluding sound based ones,and even then minato has proven to be able to use ftg while immobilized so even that woldn't finish him)because of minato's high reflexes just like in the sasuke verses ay fight for example it will force itachi to solely rely on trying to combat minato in a more physical manner because itachi knows he'll never be able to catch him a genjutsu,adding minato's country wide level sensing which when he was alive was able to sense multiple ninja surrounding him and his team, even when their we're 3 other people in front of him that didn't know what the hell was going on (and this was while he was moving,not the whole finger on the ground sensing), so this alone with a gazillion other qualities about minato leaves itachi with no possible way of a surprise attack,without either get marked or killed just to name a few reason's(but then again jesus,god,and satan themselves combined couldn't help itachi pull off a surprise attack on minato or catch him of guard without catching a fatality let alone actually gaining victory lol. Hell if minato wants to he could end itachi before he even gets that chance to try a genjutsu, he's one of the only characters fast enough to pull that off,and honestly their would be nothing stopping him lololol. To clarify in a way that most will understand, itachi loses to minato by simply revealing himself, Yes its true..All things considered itachi gets scraped just because minato is his opponent.

Another funny fact is that because minato's shadow clone can use ftg it could actually beat itachi lol. Its not good for itachi to make a enemy out of minato, he don't want them problem's lol

Country wide sensory + instant reflexes>>>> instant genjutsu anytime, anyday out of the week. Their is literally NOTHING itachi can throw minato that will catch minato, NOTHING,meaning this battle is either going turn out by either minato outspeeding itachi's sharingan precognition and lopping his head off or minato using ftg to lop his head off,either is a option considering itachis isn't fast enough to dodge anything minato throws at him. The last things that had speed fast enough to get a legit direct attack on minato had to be 10 tailed jinchuriki, god-tier beings,their the only ones that could have,and still couldn't finish the job. Itachi may as well be showing up just to lose lol.

To hell with this passiveness i dare anyone to try and prove me wrong.

 

[Master Omi]

Minato get's genjutsu'd off the bat. If Minato tries close combat he gets killed by KB. If Minato tries KB, it gets Tsukuyomi'd and stress goes back to original and kills him.

 

[Koutei]

What is KB btw?

Minato actually was said to deal with 50 shinobi within 1 blink, while Itachi can cast during that time of period just 1 Genjutsu or MS ability. The fact that Minato has the speed to simply move away from Itachi's sight is what makes this fight for Itachi close to impossible to win as Sasuke was able to catch C into a genjutsu, but not Ay. The speed difference between Itachi and Minato are simply too high. Itachi won't catch Minato with the Tsukuyomi or any other genjutsu as he is simply way too fast that Itachi could have eye contact with him, the same goes for Amaterasu, the speed feat is simply the ideal counter to both jutsus/MS abilities. The usage of the Susanoo would just drain Itachi's chakra and would provide nothing to keep up with Minato's speed... Minato has the reflexes and speed to simply avoid anything Itachi could pull against Minato. Even the crow clones would benefit Minato more than Itachi as the moment Itachi would seperate could simply tag a crow or simply blitz Itachi the moment he manifest. Shurikenjutsu's won't do anything against someone that has speed and instant transmission and the same goes for the fire style. At the end of the day, even if Minato would have had difficulties with not looking Itachi into the eyes could he simply use Sage Mode and close his eyes. The sensing would just make up for the lack of his sight, let us not forget that Minato had actually sensory without his Sage Mode.

Itachi can't do shit against Minato. Itachi is simply way too much of a glass canon, he relies on his MS as Minato does on his FTG, yet does Itachi not have the reserves to spam those like Minato can his FTG...

 

[Master Omi]

Kb is Kage bunshin.

Like I said itachi could simply catch Minato in a genjutsu in the beginning, when Minato first looks at him, just like he did with Sasuke in their battle.

Speed won't be a problem, Itachi likes to do preemptive attacks anyway.

a KB from Itachi would mean losing half of his resources, wouldn't it? and you are expecting him to look at his eyes right from the beginning, Sasuke was arrogant and stated that he can simply see through all of his genjutsu with his Sharingan, that isn't anything Minato would do, state or imply. He is in the first place not the person that goes straight through situations and fights like Sasuke, he is simply the type of person that blitz's his foes before they can react or simply avoid them while at the same time pressuring them until he finds the blindspot to win it. You are comparing apples with pears. We have 2 different people, with different mindsets, fighting styles and bios... Sasuke was even convinced of himself that he could have free'd himself from all genjutsu Itachi could have pulled out, you can't except that kind of statement from Minato.

Itachi likes to do preemptive attacks? You are probably mixing him with Minato, as even Ay could never really adapt to Minato's teleportation even though Ay had the superior raw speed and capabilities of the FTG down. Itachi won't really have the freetime to strategise against Minato and avoid, dodge or block Minato as Itachi hasn't the speed to simply dodge Minato, avoiding him with clones would simply drain his chakra and the same going for blocking his attacks with his only possible option the Susanoo as you can't really expect his Sharingan to read his movements, when his speed feat was superior to Ay and Sasuke being unable to follow his top speed...

Do you mean half his chakra or half his stamina? Everybody has a tendency to look at his opponent, especially at the face and eyes. I mean what is Minato going to do, not look at his opponent's face? How would Minato know his opponent is Itachi or not to look into his eyes?

Itachi's battle style is preemptive attacks. In nearly every battle he's in he starts of attacking with genjutsu. Minato's speed is based on Flying Thunder God (FTG), so all Itachi has to do is keep track of the Kunai. Minato is most dangerous in a forest setting, otherwise his kunai can be much more easily dealt with.

Is this even a serious question? Minato lived during a time where the Uchiha Clan was still a known Clan, them knowing their capabilities as he had one in his Team and Jiraiya his teacher knowing that they can't look an Uchiha into the eyes verifies that Minato wouldn't too. Let's not forget that Itachi wouldn't even have had the chance to catch him into one as I stated before, Itachi needs 1 wink to catch a person into a genjutsu?? Minato finishes 50 shinobi during that time off, Itachi won't be able to catch up with Minato's speed and teleportation.

Minato's speed is actually a combination of his Body Flicker, which was faster than Tobirama's and FTG. Meaning that Minato has respectable raw speed too as Tobirama stated that being better at Shunshin/Body Flicker than him is an extraordinary feat. Considering that would Itachi have to consider all Kunai's that were thrown at multiple different locations and the raw speed of Minato, plus the tags that weren't on the Kunai. Him starting with genjutsu will be impossible for him against Minato as he needs to know where exactly Minato is and has to have eye contact too, now for someone that is consistently moving within the blind spots of the opponents and out of the sight of a Sharingan user is Itachi on the walls. He can't use his enhanced perception due to Minato's superior speed and teleportation and can't really catch Minato into a genjutsu, when Minato is at a different location than Itachi looks at. He could keep searching for Minato, but those seconds are enough for Minato to strike and finish Itachi off. What is left for Itachi to do?? Susanoo?! His low reservers are getting drained way more and he still can't catch Minato and would still have to somehow find him as he has no sensory skills and him having an extremely bad vision makes this an almost impossible task for Itachi. There is nothing Itachi could do.

PS: half of stamina or chakra, that is actually the same thing.

 

[Master Omi]

According to Ebisu, a ninja has to convert Stamina into chakra to use a jutsu, so using KB isn't a problem. Not to mention Itachi also has Crow Clone or Karasu Bunshin. Tell me how you think this battle plays out to beginning to end.

What does Minato do once he sees there's an opponent? Does he know that he's fighting Itachi without looking at him? If so how? Even if Minato knows about the sharingan, he has to know his opponent actually has the sharingan and for that he has to be able to tell who his opponent is somehow.

Minato's Kunai aren't a problem, I think this picture illustrates what would happen well:

Shadow Clones in the first place take alot of chakra, the user's chakra is equally distributed among the clones. People with immense reserves can keep spamming clones like Naruto, Hashirama and Madara. Itachi isn't one of them and that is partly the reason why he used crow's as medium for his clones. A clone jutsu having a medium makes the user use less chakra on it and as I already reasoned previously would the crow clone play into Minato's hands. Minato being able to tag those crows gives him more possible locations he could have teleported to, he is even proefficient in Shurikenjutsu, so him dealing with those crows while at the same time spreading his Kunais and tags is another option.

What does Minato do once he sees there's an opponent? Does he know that he's fighting Itachi without looking at him? If so how? Even if Minato knows about the sharingan, he has to know his opponent actually has the sharingan and for that he has to be able to tell who his opponent is somehow.

He in the first place has sensory skills, meaning that he can sense Itachi and his clones. He could even detect any usage of visual jutsus, MS abilities and visual genjutsu's included, as he would simply sense the chakra build up in Itachi's eyes. Meaning that Itachi couldn't really catch Minato by surprise. Non of Itachi's feats or routines would work against Minato. I am gonna repeat myself now, visual genjutsu won't work as Itachi needs eye contact for that, Minato is way too fast that he is gonna be caught into one as he would just instantly move away from Itachi's sight. He wouldn't even need his FTG for that, his Shunshin no Jutsu would even be enough. A good comparison I already mentioned is the time Itachi needs for all of his visual jutsus, just 1 blink and within 1 blink was Minato said to beat 50 shinobi's, even if we would assume this not to be true, Minato could still feel the chakra build up in Itachi's eyes and easily predict visual genjutsus or the Amaterasu... Minato is by that too fast for Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and all his other genjutsu. His clones would just drain Itachi's chakra and give Minato more locations to teleport to, which would result in Minato teleporting way more unreadable as he already does. The Susanoo does what?? A living Itachi can't even effectively use the Susanoo, it would deplete his chakra so fast that Minato would just need to avoid Itachi via speed and in the worst case his FTG.

Minato's Kunai aren't a problem...

Minato doesn't throw Kunai at his opponents?? What??
Flying Thunder God Second Step & Spiralling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Three... Could you please explain to me what those are? xDD Those techniques don't require the opponent to move, are way too fast to dodge and blocking them wouldn't even affect Minato as he has the option to teleport out of his own combo to a safer place. If we would assume that Itachi is going to dodge those techniques would Itachi have to dodge at a location where Minato's tagged Kunai's are and Itachi would be trapped in a loop of teleportations and end up being dead. Him using his crow clones would do what? Minato is a sensor, he would sense Itachi and at the same time destroy or even tag the crows. While Itachi keeps using his low reserves, while Minato has big ones to use as he wants to. What other option is left?? Susanoo?! The strain and chakra cost of Susanoo is insane and is way too toxic for Itachi. He wouldn't really hit Minato with the Susanoo as he would teleport out of anything the Susanoo could deliver.

Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu and other visual jutsus can all be sensed by Minato and wouldn't even hit him in the first place due to the immense difference of their speed.

 

[Master Omi]

- Unlikely, Minato wouldn't know crows would come out of the clone until it happens. He would be surprised, since he doesn't know about crow clone, so it's unlikely Minato would try to tag them. Point 2 is there is no point to tagging crows. He doesn't know where those crows will go. They could end up far out of battle or just disappear (if I remember correctly whenever the crows from the crow clone appeared, they eventually disappeared out of nowhere).

- Ao and Shikaku said that Itachi can use genjutsu and be undetectable by his sensory unit, so Minato won't be able to sense Itachi. I don't know why you say that Minato is too fast for Itachi to put Minato in genjutsu. There's nothing suggesting Minato's too fast to ever be in put into genjutsu, in the manga. If your inferring that's the case, based on Raikage being rarely put in genjutsu, I'll have to say I disagree. Itachi is able to react to lightning and use Visual jutsu just before lightning hits. Like I said Minato's speed shouldn't be a problem.

- Can you prove that Flying Thunder God Second Step & Spiralling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Three are too fast to dodge? Because all Itachi has to do is shunshin away from the kunai and Minato won't hit him. Why would Itachi have to dodge to the area Minato's kunai are? Those jutsu only throw a few kunai at a time, anyway. I guess I'll give a few scenarios to explain:

1. Minato tries taijutsu, Itachi creates a crow clone right behind him, by using his extremely fast hand seals and it stabs him in the back, undetected.

2. Itachi creates a crow clone right beside himself, seemingly out of nowhere. Minato would obviously look at, since it appeared seemingly out of nowhere. The crow clone could from there put Minato under genjutsu when he looks at it's eyes.

That Ichibe sig is so badass... Too bad it reminds me of Bleach, and what a poor ending it had.

How on earth didn't Zaraki's bankai destroy the whole Sereitei? The power scaling there was terrible.

 

[MomoSaka]

Minato wins.

 

[Koutei]

All you said is basicly wrong.

- Unlikely, Minato wouldn't know crows would come out of the clone until it happens. He would be surprised, since he doesn't know about crow clone, so it's unlikely Minato would try to tag them. Point 2 is there is no point to tagging crows. He doesn't know where those crows will go. They could end up far out of battle or just disappear (if I remember correctly whenever the crows from the crow clone appeared, they eventually disappeared out of nowhere).

Minato always showed adaptability towards new situation. He didn't expect being intercepted by a tentacle yet did he tag it direct after the slash. Implying he wouldn't do that with crows, but with a tentacle is nonsense. Minato didn't know about Bee pushing Ay away and he didn't expect so hit something other than Ay, yet was he able to tag Bee and he would tag the crows too... Those crows never disappeared in my memory. Him tagging the Crows is basicly a strategic move as taking any kind of possibility with lying a trap in account, something we saw him btw doing with Bee. He didn't know if the Octopus arm or tail would disappear or not or if Bee would have actually shrinked his tail so much that the tag would have been behind him, yet did he do that as he was taking that possibility into account.

- Ao and Shikaku said that Itachi can use genjutsu and be undetectable by his sensory unit, so Minato won't be able to sense Itachi. I don't know why you say that Minato is too fast for Itachi to put Minato in genjutsu. There's nothing suggesting Minato's too fast to ever be in put into genjutsu, in the manga. If your inferring that's the case, based on Raikage being rarely put in genjutsu, I'll have to say I disagree. Itachi is able to react to lightning and use Visual jutsu just before lightning hits. Like I said Minato's speed shouldn't be a problem.

There is a difference between a 1v1 battle and a war, where preparations and traps can be laid, where people actually can choose at what range they are going to attack the opponent. Itachi never showed the capability to hide from sensory skills, he was able to use his genjutsu outside of the range of Ao's sensory squad and that's it. In a 1v1 is Minato alwas gonna be within close or mid range, not to forget was Nagato able to sense the usage of Amaterasu from Itachi. All visual jutsus can be sensed, be it the Tsukuyomi, the Amaterasu or a generic visual genjutsu.

- Can you prove that Flying Thunder God Second Step & Spiralling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Three are too fast to dodge? Because all Itachi has to do is shunshin away from the kunai and Minato won't hit him. Why would Itachi have to dodge to the area Minato's kunai are? Those jutsu only throw a few kunai at a time, anyway. I guess I'll give a few scenarios to explain:

What? You are going to use Shunshin on someone that focused and trained his Shunshin?? This would end up like Itachi vs Kurenai, Minato would easily catch Itachi offguard as Itachi never really trained to use the Shunshin for a fight in the first place and would have to flee from Itachi?? You are forgetting the fact that Shunshin drains chakra too, you are assuming that Itachi would be able to flee from Minato's teleportation and Shunshin, when Minato's Shunshin speed was even referred to be as something extraordinary and you are expecting someone whose reflexes were praised by Ay not to be able to react to Itachi's Shunshin?? Someone who countered Ay's top speed won't be able to do that against a normal Shunshin User??

1. Minato tries taijutsu, Itachi creates a crow clone right behind him, by using his extremely fast hand seals and it stabs him in the back, undetected.

Nobody is undetectable except of Zetsu, this was pretty much made clear in the series. In the first place are you impying that Minato would directly approach Itachi. You stated yourself on your previous post that Minato would have spread his tagged Kunai's, why he is now not going to use that in this scenario you stated?? Even if Minato would approach Itachi directly through Taijutsu, would he have the chance to instantly move or teleport out of the danger zone, that is his speed feat and Minato has no possibility to use his clones as bait btw?? The moment the crows fly somewhere has Minato the chance to simply hit all of them with his Kunai and/or tag one of multiple of them, this gives more possible variation of tactical aspects. Even if we assume that Itachi isn't senseable, something he actually is. Would Minato simply teleport out of any danger and then go for Sage Mode. Yet is that not even needed, Itachi suddenly appearing behind Minato wouldn't even work as Minato is constantly moving and preparing new teleportation spots during the battle, Itachi burning the Kunai's with Amaterasu would just have a minimal affect, as Minato in the first place has quite some Kunai's with him, he can teleport others from home or somewhere else to him and tags during battles spots without his Kunai, the moment Itachi focuses his sight on the Kunai's with his Amaterasu is a blindspot Minato can simply use with his raw speed and finish Itachi off, the moment Itachi uses his crow clones is he giving Minato more possible teleportation spots and the moment he uses Shunshin... as you stated before is the moment Minato is going to instantly finish Itachi off, Itachi has the raw speed, reflexes and FTG. The moment Tobirama stated that Minato's Shunshin is extraordinary and the feat of him having high reflexes that Ay stated make this pretty clear. Itachi won't even be able to react to Minato in the first place, with or without Shunshin.

2. Itachi creates a crow clone right beside himself, seemingly out of nowhere. Minato would obviously look at, since it appeared seemingly out of nowhere. The crow clone could from there put Minato under genjutsu when he looks at it's eyes.

You are making scenario's actually up, when did we see Itachi doing anything like that? Both of your scenario's were never seen. We never saw Itachi using Shunshin, nor did we see Itachi do... whatever you posted there.
In the first place is the crow clone a normal clone technique, Minato has no reason to look into the clone's eyes as it is a CLONE. The moment Itachi is going to use a clone, would even play no role as Minato had by that already a wide area with his FTG tags covered. By your logic could Minato just have teleported to a Kunai behind Itachi and tagged both, the clone and the real Itachi. The fact that Ay couldn't react to Minato pretty much means that Itachi won't be able to too. And if Minato tagged both could he simply have used the Rasengan on the clone and right before the hit could he have exchanged the places with the clone and the original Itachi. Minato's Spiral Dance even uses a clone, which would still be able to take Itachi and his clone down.

Thanks man, yeah they could've done better but for the most part i was satisfied heh.

 

[Scryed]

I'll go with Minato.

 

[Uverdore9]

Itachi's genjutsu is stated to hide itself from skilled sensory units like Ao's and simultaneously manipulate through illusion techniques.

Its a excellent attack straying through the paths of ordinary illusion casting, as in, every normally casted illusion can be sensed, unless by a powerful master shinobi, which Itachi is. He has enough reflexes and speed and powerful eye sight to percieve and target and aim properly at Minato. Flying Raijin dont play much of a role against Genjutsu-caster like itachi, who purpotedly could have manipulated the alliance division according to the most brilliant man in the world Shikaku, stated to be more intelligent and outstanding in intellectual brilliance than Shikamaru, one of greatest intellectuals, and Kakashi, who is greater in intellectuality compared to former, as it has been repeatedly stated in series

 

[Koutei]

So many lies in this post...

Itachi's genjutsu is stated to hide itself from skilled sensory units like Ao's and simultaneously manipulate through illusion techniques.

That's not true, it was said that he was able to cast genjutsu, while being outside of the range of Ao' sensory squad. It was nowhere implied or stated, that Itachi's genjutsu can't be sensed... as every genjutsu can be sensed. The fact that the chakra flow of the person is influenced makes them see if they are caught into one or not by sensing their own flow of chakra. If it is unnatural is that the confirmation for them that they are caught into one, not to forget were both Obito and Nagato able to sense Amaterasu, therefor is Tsukuyomi sensable too, as every other visual jutsu, genjutsu's included.

Its a excellent attack straying through the paths of ordinary illusion casting, as in, every normally casted illusion can be sensed, unless by a powerful master shinobi, which Itachi is.

As I stated before, you made that fact up, Ao never stated that. He stated that he casted a genjutsu, while being out of the range of sensory squads, yet was that feat seen during his time as Anbu, where is vision wasn't blurred by the usage of his MS.

He has enough reflexes and speed and powerful eye sight to percieve and target and aim properly at Minato.

To clarify, Itachi is able to react to something that Ay, the 4. Raikage, who focuses on speed couldn't react to?? That makes no sense. Even Izuna, who was said to be as strong as Madara couldn't react to Tobirama's FTG and you expecting that Itachi can is nonsense. Itachi's eye sight plays no role, as Minato could easily move out of it. His raw speed and teleportation disable the usage of the Sharingan's enhanced perception and it's hypnotic capabilities. Itachi couldn't even catch Minato into the Amaterasu, as Minato would be way too fast for him to follow his movements. We never saw any showcase of high reflexes. As I showed on your manga panel, that scenario was interpreted totally wrong by you. When Itachi dodged Bee's Samehada did both of bodies Bee's and Naruto's instantly move towards Itachi and Nagato. We even saw Itachi avoiding the close combat with Bee, Itachi's reflexes and speed are pretty much average.

Flying Raijin dont play much of a role against Genjutsu-caster like itachi, who purpotedly could have manipulated the alliance division according to the most brilliant man in the world Shikaku, stated to be more intelligent and outstanding in intellectual brilliance than Shikamaru, one of greatest intellectuals, and Kakashi, who is greater in intellectuality compared to former, as it has been repeatedly stated in series

It plays a huge role as it prevents the genjutsu-caster from catching into one. Itachi needs eye contact for his genjutsu and the raw speed combined with the FTG of Minato even make it impossible for Itachi to follow his whole body.

"according to the most brilliant man in the world Shikaku, stated to be more intelligent and outstanding in intellectual brilliance than Shikamaru, one of greatest intellectuals..."
When was that stated? Could you give me the chapter of this? In the chapter of Ao stating stuff about Itachi wasn't anything comparable to that stated. So from where comes this?

 

[Rikudou Tobi]

itachi puts him away
