Why don't you actually go back and reread the chapter? Maybe if you did, you would see thag what you said is incorrect. No where was it shown that Minato physically changed his position. There are panels of Minato teleporting to a location (noted by the FFT sound effect) and into a change of position. Minato made very slight movements which are immediately followed by teleportation. So you are saying that Minato with his legs close to As back and his upper body far away is not a different position to the one he was in when B pushed A? Cmon dude, Minato rotated his entire bodg like, 90 degrees after teleporting behind A.

Simple Sage Mode can counter Minato.. how? Sensory abilities. Madara did it with Hashi face in Sage Mode while having only one eye. A is far too impatient in battle, he likes to try and outspeed and smash shit.. the complete opposite of what is needed to beat FTG. Itachi has the smarts, patience, and strategizing skill to do it. As Itachi says all Jutsu's have a weakness and just like how it took him less than a minute to figure out Chibaku Tensei's he will figure out FTG's. He already knows it needs a seal to use, as most any Konoha Ninja smart enough knows, and he already knows Minato uses Kunai for it too. He knows Minato has Rasengan and Sealing Jutsu to boot, along with the Death God Jutsu. The biggest deciding factor is knowledge of and Itachi has that, as do most every Konoha Shinobi who was alive during and after Minato died. Minato's only chance is FTG and that chance is now much less impactful. Itachi wins High Difficulty. "Simple sage mode" the only time basic Sage Mode was enough to stop an FTG was when it was used by Hashi-cell enhanced Rinnegan Madara Uchiha that was against the second best FTG user and the 2nd fastest character in the series. Minato also has Sage mode so that balances out.

Regardless, Itachi has NONE of the countermeasures or the raw speed necissary to counter or stop Minato.
