It doesn't matter if he goes for the blitz, whether he does or not, his speed is something Itachi simply can't keep up with, his susano'o, Totsuka Blade, and Yata Mirror will all be teleported away before he has time to react, he will have to rely on ninjutsu since Minato has his summonings and Gerotora to break him out of genjutsu. Itachi does not have the superior situation in the case of ninjutsu since Minato will just dodge all his attacks or teleport them away. Itachi doesn't have genjutsu, Susano'o, his ethereal weapons, or any ninjutsu to counter Flying Raijin, he has no way of winning
