Itachi puts himself squarely on Jiraiya's level, while Minato is a lot stronger than his master after all without even Sage Mode. If you take Edo Minato into the equation, with KCM and BM...Itachi is really left behind in the dust. isnt this unfair?

we have itachi on his own and than compare him to minato who gets help by kurama, this is a 1 vs 2 :(

and, i dont understand why people keep saying that minato is to fast for genjutsu, since when does genjutsu have speed? + without kurama i highly doubt that minato would have an chance to free himself from one of itachis genjutsus (i mean, itachi belongs to the chars with the most genjutsu-skills in the entire story, despite being kage-lvl i doubt that minato can do much against someone who is top-tier in hi field of expertise) ^_^

despite all of minatos hype, the only notable things are his teleport-jutsu and some rasengan-versions (two or three), non of the jutsus he showed had enough destructive power to destroy itachis susanoo, and once minato is captured in a genjutsu (which can happen without eye-contact) i think it is a sure win for itachi...

on the other hand minatos speed is the only factor which outclasses itachis(note: not his bodyspeed but the overall speed via his teleport-jutsu), in ninjutsu they are pretty equal, minato has a few jutsus at high-lvl and itachi has many lower-lvl jutsus...

therefore: 55-45 for itachi vs minato...
