I don't see how Minato can even hit Itachi? Minato only has a rasengan which is hard countered by ribcage susanoo. Itachi does not need to keep up that ribcage susanoo. He only will when he sees Minato throwing kunai around him or when he engages itachi in CQC. Itachi can prevent himself from being marked. If Minato marks the susanoo, I don't think he can ftg it or if it can, than, Itachi will be ftg'd with the susanoo as well. So, that does not help.

Now, Itachi can use his clone feints, subtle genjutsu, amaterasu, totsuka, izanagi and izanami in combination to finish him while he stays in defense the entire time.
