1. Can't blame us for Kishimoto widening the gap between Itachi and Minato to the point of absurdity, which was already so high Itachi already tacitly admitted inferiority by putting himself just at Jiraiya's level. And not only that, its not two versus one, if Minato master's Kurama's power, its HIS power alone. That's how it works. no it isnt, if he masters kuramas power he will have a few minutes of KM and than die because kurama sucks his chakra away, and if he fight together with kurama than it is 2 vs 1...

By the time Itachi casts, Minato would have already moved or severed a Itachi's artery and leaving him to bleed out. It was alluded that speed was one of the Sharingan Genjutsu's weaknesses as far beck as A vs Sasuke, the latter's Sharingan genjutsus useless against A due to the speed difference. susanoo can be create faster than a lightning strike hits the ground, so... no, minato wont hit itachi so easily, you are overstaminating his speed... SuperSaiyaMan wrote: 3. Minato can strip Itachi of his Susanoo by teleporting it away (like he teleported Kurama away and Gamabunta was in the same place, or teleported the Gudodama away). He doesn't need to destroy Susano'o to bypass it either, a single mark means he can teleport INTO it and Itachi doesn't have the reflexes to counter said tagging. Itachi can't even land a genjutsu in the first place, so all you're making him do is exhaust himself. nope, everytime minato teleported something, it was a physical obejct, kurama was physical and the gudoudama too, it was never shown that thhey can teleport pure chakra away...

And Itachi's Ukataka, which a fresh post-Timeskip Naruto nearly broke, despite not even being Kage level is useless against one of the strongest Hokage's ever? Sorry, not happening. ? only speed, we dont even know how strong they had been, and it doesnt really matter since both arent fighting like that, and: miinato may have been good with fuinjutsus, but this is it, aside from that he only showed rasengan and FTL, on the other hand itachi has a much larger amount of fire/water release jutsus with traps like explosion-clones etc.

+ where did naruto broke itachis genjutsu? he was hopelessly trapped until sakura/old woman took him out, and this despite his whole "anti-genjutsu training" and his impossible good chakra control, exspecially after mastering the rasengan in 1 week, this already shows that he had superior chakra control than minato and still wasnt able to free himself from a "non-sharingan-needed genjutsu" ^_^ SuperSaiyaMan wrote: You're overestimating Itachi greatly to think that. it seems like both of us do it in some ways :/
