None of what you described is proof that Itachi can dodge a punch from the Raikage's fastest attack. What does durability and all that have to do with speed? Why talk about stuff that is irrelevant? All I care about is if Itachi is equal to Minato in terms of speed. I'm not arguing about if Itachi can beat him or not. So all that bull, is unnecessary and irrelevant.

And if you read the Manga, you can clearly see, in Chapter 543-544, Raikage charges at him (he stated it was his fastest), and as he reaches Minato, his fist is already going forward. At this point in time, Minato has not moved whatsoever. Then, with the Raikage's fist mere inches away, Minato grabs his kunai from his own waist and swiftly moves it forward passed the Raikage's waist, letting go of the Kunai, then teleports away.

This shows in just base form, Minato could move faster than the Raikage, who moved first and was mere inches from connecting but still failed to connect while Minato, who moved late was able to move more swift. This is proof.

Also explain something to me. If Itachi is so fast. Why can Kakashi keep up with him? Why can Kurenai dodge a point blank kunai stab from him from behind after she just broke free from his Genjutsu?
