What I meant was when minato will re appear with a kunai close to itachi, itachi could use the MS to predict how minato's hand will move to strike him or how he may attack him. Using that knowledge Itachi ,if he can't react he can use the susanoo. Itachi can use his susanoo to survive getting attacked from ftg strikes(level 1) and can use amaterasu to ignite the entire area and burn off the kunais. Itachi's kunai throwing speed and accuracy was perfect,he could use paper bombs attached to kunai to take out any other kunai.

You are forgetting the fact that Minato actually tags places that aren't his Kunai's too, which is what makes him so unpredictable and Ay being unable to beat him out of their numerous battles. Itachi using the Susanoo just for mere seconds would mean for a speedster like Minato to actually keep creating opportunities with his speed and tag more places. Itachi burning the Kunai's at various places would immensely drain his chakra and even if we would assume that he would activate the Susanoo for mere seconds, the drainage would still be existent with the amount of chakra Itachi has. He would simply need to use way too much chakra up to counter Minato's preparations and attacks, where Minato uses just a bit of his reserves. Let us not forget that Minato could teleport the ribcage of the Susanoo away and and attack with his Rasengan, or teleports him away the moment he is being blocked by the Susanoo. Let us not forget that Minato focuses on attacking the opponents blindspots and Itachi has no sensory skills. Minato could probably even trap Itachi in the Susanoo by using his Spiral Dance...
