Itachi needs a lot of specific prep for Izanami, which he managed when he had a 2-1 advantage. Even activating it is dubious.

I don't agree with your statistic, but that's obvious. Again, saying sentences like these don't make them objectively true.

Jiraiya also figured out shared vision.

Itachi didn't figure out Chibaku Tensei, he did the only logical thing any of them could do. Oh look a big huge planetoid is sucking us and everything around it? Quick destroy the cause of it! Itachi didn't know if it would work. They just tried it and hoped it would work. And it only worked because Itachi had two Tailed Beast Levels working with him to destroy the core.

Obito literally was Minato's student and he got caught, despite him turning intangible literally happens at the speed of thought. And before you downplay Obito again, Itachi literally needed Obito's help for the Uchiha massacre. Obito is not a slouch.

Again, Minato doesn't only teleport to Kunai, he can mark anything he wants to and use it in the fight.

You forgot the time Minato warped to Obito with and hitting him with the seal to undo his contract with Kurama. Also what's your point? Minato has done it and so can do it.

I never said Itachi would be guaranteed to get hit. I think it'd be a hard fight for both.

B is not on the level of Minato, so catching B doesn't indicate he'll catch Minato.

Minato has two methods to win, but his two methods are more likely to land than Itachi's ways to win. I mean, Naruto only had like 2 methods to win for most of the series; shadow clones or Rasengan. But he managed to land those hits against people with more versatility. So he won a lot of his fights. Itachi has more ways to win perhaps, but less ways to make those wins happen

Itachi has already been shown that he can get tricked by shuriken maneuvers. Sasuk stabbed him in the leg with his shadow shurikens attached to string. I know Minato doesn't use string on his kunai (that we know of) but it goes to show that it's possible to mix Itachi up. Zetsu did note that Itachi should've been able to dodge, but that's the thing; if Itachi dodges a kunai instead of hitting it out of the air, then Minato has an opening.

Also, about your statements saying Minato is 5/10 and Itachi is 6/10, fractions don't work that way.

In any case, opinion hasn't changed; Minato takes it 6/10 imo.
