If it makes even the slightest difference, I changed it so that Minato has heard Sarutobi's explanation of Itachi. I had also changed "destroys" to "incapacitates" after realizing the reanimated body can't really be destroyed.

I'm not totally convinced Itachi will win, since Minato clearly knows to avoid eye contact. Even then, Minato has the advantage of manueverability, almost exponentially more than Itachi. Minato may not have to resort to the DDCS, as he could just teleport around, slice off Itachi's limbs, and seal each limb separately to the ground. He could especially do so after placing a marker on Itachi, which he easily did to Tobi.

Also, if Minato did use the DDCS, he would win the fight, but he might assume he can't return to the battlefield, since his soul would be again sealed away.
