@Hiyaka-kun/Hilary Again, Itachi needs to make eye contact with Minato in order to cast his Sharingan genjutsu. Minato isn't dumb enough to look into Itachi's eyes, he can easily combat him without Itachi getting a chance to look into his eyes by blitzing him and then slitting his throat or ramming a rasengan into him. Itachi's only option is to use susanoo to defend and if Minato already tagged him he can teleport inside of it and then kill him with a point-blank rasengan (btw Minato's rasengan is as large and powerful as Naruto's big ball rasengan) or slit his throat with his FTG kunai. Or if Itachi activated susanoo immediately, Minato can warp it away with guiding thunder, summon gamabunta to combat it, or simply avoid all of Itachi's attacks until he can no longer maintain susanoo and then finish him off. Minato's natural speed and reflexes + Body Flicker + Flying Thunder God = Capable of countering all of Itachi's attacks.
