Wrong. Against Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai, he was not the one to attack first. It was actually Kurenai who attacked him first.

Against Kabuto, Kabuto was the aggressor. He launched his snakes at him and he needed a small version of Susano'o to block it. Then he kept powering it off and on to only ensure defense. That isn't aggressive.

Against Nagato, he was actually fighting Naruto first and under the control of Kabuto, yet still didn't utilize his full powered Susano'o. Even when he turned sides and attacked Nagato (which was only to save Naruto and Bee so again, not aggressive), he didn't even use his full powered Susano'o until he was forced to. Even when he could of from the beginning and stabbed him with Totsuka. Yet, he didn't. Never has Itachi ever went full out from the beginning. Now he's going to? Yea. No. Itachi's style is to wait and look for the most opportune moment to strike. That's always been his thing.

Against Amaterasu. It couldn't hit Ay or Gaara, but it's going to hit Minato? Yea, no.

Against any speeding attack Itachi can muster. There's nothing Itachi has shown to be faster than Absolute Ay. Minato was able to react and dodge Ay at the point of when he was touching his nose. Itachi has nothing that exceeds that. Minato will be just fine when he can react and dodge something that's already touching him and as fast as Ay. Itachi can only win with Genjutsu. But I doubt he can even keep his eyes on Minato given the fact the entire battlefield will be drenched with his Flying Raijin Kunai.
