I am looking at the panels and sequences right now. Itachi can't even see Sasuke from on top of that large structure he can only hear his voice. Itachi only had any reactions whatsoever to the lighting changing. Itachi could barely see AT ALL at this point. He reacted to the lightning strike and not Sasuke moving his hand. Itachi was able to react to the strike and activate Susanoo so fast he could survive the strike(the very strike that demolished the Uchiha hide-out). Minato is fast for sure but to assume that means he can blitz somebody of Itachi's speed is only that, an assumption more akin to head canon. Also Minato throwing out multiple Kunai won't help him as Itachi will still knock them all out of the air near instantly. Itachi was an avid researcher of Shibobi and Shinobi history and to assume he wouldn't know about FTG which is the Second Hokage's technique and then the Fourths Technique is wild. Itachi knew about the Orochi technique Orochimaru had and he even knew about Sage Mode among other thing, so I think its more safe to say he would know how FTG works. Now if this was a battle with a no knowledge stipulation then that would make a big difference.
