Just some pointers here: Number one: Itachi reacting to Kirin and putting up Susanoo wasn't plot but rather well foreseen move by itachi. He clearly Was able to read Chakra development in Sasuke(especially For directing) as well as deduce from Cumulus clouds (a classification given By the Zetsu Duo) That it was lightning style So their is a chance Itachi used Susanoo in Anticipation of the attack. Number Two: Sasuke using Reverse Summoning with Manda To Escape Deidara's Explosion was contingency against Itachi, Since plan was well known To Suigetsu. Though Author could have explained it better. Number three: I think we are forgetting about Itachi's Exploding Shadow clones That two could be used To catch Minato off guard. Number Four: I think Itachi, Considering all factors should be at significant disadvantage against Minato. I would too give it To Minato..
