^Lol. I just love the lengths you guys take just to discredit Minato.

If you really want to factor in story context, then Itachi was a little kid when Minato sacrificed himself. So, basically, he didn't have Mangekyou then which means Minato coulda stomped him. Do you see how stupid this can get? This is a match-up between two shinobi who attained their prime at two different time periods. Of course Minato didn't know about Itachi because there was NOTHING to know about him back then. He hadn't massacred his family yet as part of an operation which would have technically been sanctioned by Minato had he been alive at that time, and his prowess with the Sharingan hadn't earned him the moniker of Itachi of the Sharingan which made him so recognizable by everyone. The only PROOF that I can show you to appeal to your asinine logic is those alternate reality fillers where Itachi was an ANBU working under Minato. Also, if you think that Minato, hyped up to be a genius by almost everyone in the Leaf, is gonna fall prey to a basic Sharingan tech or the famously parroted "explosive clone" technique (which barely worked on Kakashi), then I have really nothing more to add.

For God's sake, I'm actually starting to miss Hungry Ghost realm's arguments. At least his batshit insane theories were a tad entertaining.
