I understand that we cannot make definitive assumptions about his fighting style, but I presented a situation in which him doing that for of attack would lead to his victory. We cannot count out the fact that he CAN do that.
Secondly, you are entirely wrong that Itachi's base speed is equal to Minato's. Minato traversed the ENTIRE LEAF VILLAGE without using FTG in less than a second. Itachi has not shown anything near that level.
A fighting style with no eye contact is in fact easier for Minato than other ninja because he can teleport to kunai not within Itachi's line of sight. Another possible strategy, that, knowing Minato's genius, is probable.
And finally, as to Itachi using genjutsu on Minato without eye contact, yes, this could certainly be an ace in the hole. But if Minato has summoned even 1 frog to help him fight (also entirely within the realm of possibility) they can break him out, seeing as how Itachi's non-direct eye contact genjutsu is far weaker than his normal one.
And lastly, yes, I realize Itachi CAN use these things to win. But simply, the fact of the matter is that Minato DOES have the resources and the ability to defend against them. Whereas Itachi has no way of defending himself from an attack appearing out of nowhere from Minato's S/T barrier, and he would similarly have little chance to defend from an attack where Minato uses the radius of FTG, especially since Itachi doesn't know about the radius.
This will be my last post because has their opinions about this fight. I personally think Itachi is just as fast Minato and really you guys might just be overhyping his speed just a bit. His S/T barrier really is useless in this fight since its only used to transfer external attacks and redirect them somewhere else. Secondly Minato has to stay stationary leaving him vulnerable. I don't see this tech being used in a fight.
Minato will have little chance to actually summon and a frog would less likkely help him this fight. More like get in the way because they are not fast enough to hit Itachi and easily suspect to genjutsu. Still ignoring my fact how is Minato breaking out a genjutsu Itachi always starts with in a fight. Minato teleporting to an unknown kunai? Ha if Itachi deflects them all he's aware where they are located.
Touch seals can be seen with the sharigan. Itachi doesn't know about the radius but Minato knows nothing about amaterasu and itachis other genjutsu abilites. You still think he fights like you say he would but there is nothing to back this up.
I'm done here.
