@HeroOfSacrifice

That's a pretty good rundown of the fight, even though I don necessarily agree with the outcome. Couple of things,though:

-Alive Minato cannot be affected by Izanami. There is no conflict brewing inside him - he has a purpose and he is determined to carry it. Edo Minato, on the other hand, probably could. But then again Edo Minato also has Yang Kurama and access to KCM so it wouldn't be a fair fight. But the point is Izanami is useless in this fight.

-The manga gave no indication Itachi could use Izanagi. We could say it's a given considering even non-Uchiha like Danzo used it, but for now it remains headcanon.

-Itachi's sickness didn't affect his chakra reserves. It messed up his stamina, but his chakra reserves were always shit. And it doesn't help that techniques like Amaterasu and Susanoo drain a shitload of chakra. Minato doesn't even have to attack him. He just has to wait and let him struggle to maintain it then strike when the time is right.
