Basically, this is Sage Tailed Beast Mode Minato versus Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan Itachi?

Let's see… Minato's speed (without the Flying Thunder God Technique) would be comparable to that of a Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, so I don't think that Itachi (even if he had the Straight Swirl variant of the EMS) could follow his movements right away. The Uchiha would be forced to use Complete Body — Susanoo to keep himself safe while growing accustomed at Minato's speed, in order to use the Sword of Totsuka to seal him, or to cast Tsukuyomi (since it's impossible to break out of it without being an extremely skilled Sharingan wielder). Amaterasu wouldn't do much damage (unless Itachi somehow gained Sasuke's prowess with Blaze Release). The point here is that Itachi can't hit Minato, at least not at the start of the match. If the Fourth Hokage manages to land a hit before his opponent gets accustomed to his speed, then it'd be Minato's victory, otherwise Itachi would have a pretty good chance at winning. Izanagi and Izanami are pretty hard to use, since to use just one of them would require sacrificing Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi (Susanoo can still be used) along with half of Itachi's field of vision.
