Sasuke was rambling for a while as Kirin charged up. Itachi just had to activate Susanoo the moment Sasuke started dropping his hand, which is well within the Sharingan's capacity.

Why are people saying Minato needs Kurama to outlast Itachi? We're talking about a guy who was taking on (and teleporting!) Kurama and still showed no signs of slowing down. Numerous Hiraishins, several massive teleports and summons. And he still outdid Obito.

Minato > Itachi. It's not that Itachi is weak, it's that Minato's particular skillset is insanely powerful because few possess the capability to counter it.
