-A could probably dodge it, but will he survive it? NO -Minato may be able to dodge, but while blind, about to die, and out of chakra? Probably not. - Naruto would require a whole lot of chakra in order to block such a technique, and if he was in the same circumstance as Itachi? He would not be able to block it. - I am not sure if Sasuke's Susanoo would be able to protect himself from Kirin. Although Sasuke seems to be the most likely candidate to repeat the feat along with other preta path users.

During the Naruto series Itachi has essentially had a handbrake on the whole time. He was gradually losing his eyesight, He was dying from a terminal illness, and it was revealed that he did not want to fight anyone in the first place. No other character in the series has had such a handicap against them, and yet Itachi was always in control of the fights he was in.
