Then why ignore his Kirin feat? Why ignore him blitzing Sasuke at their last battle?? Why ignore him saving Sasuke the whole fight against Kabuto?? It seems like its easy for people to try and downplay Itachi here. His intelligence, tactics, and wisdom are what are his main weapons to win battles, he always plans steps and steps ahead as shown throughout the entire manga. He already knows about Minato and his techs, he was 5 when Minato died and the following 2 years he literally studied the entire history of Uchiha, Senju, Konoha and all of its clans and techs. He had the wisdom of a Hokage at age 7. I don't see Itachi losing this, there is literally no way. He has way too many options to stall Minato enough to seal him.
