@Lone: On page 14, begins transforming and throwing a fit and Zetsu has "!?" And in the next panel he says "what"(some subs for the anime he says "its" or "thats". I believe the english dub says "its"). On page 15, Sasuke looks at Itachi and Susanoo is revealed, then Sasuke is shocked, then Zetsu reacts to Susanoo.

In all likelihood he was reacting to Sasuke's transformation.

The fact that Zetsu questions what Susanoo is after Itachi uses it a 2nd time meams that he didnt see it activated before Kirin launched. If Kirins travel time is 1/1000th and no one seen Susanoo before its launch then Itachi activated it between launch and contact.

@Ninja: Minato is going to throw his kunai and start making his way to Itachi. Itachi may start off with Fireball jutsu to throw them off course but Minato has a lot.

Itachi creates an exploding shadow clone as Minato moves in for a FTG Slash and it explodes, but Minato FTG's away. Goes sensor mode and goes after Itachi. Itachi will try to Amaterasu him but he is too fast and will more than likely stick to his blind spots. After another FTG Slash Itachi activates Susanoo and goes for a Totsuka seal. Minato either imediately pulls back or gets knocked back but ultimately avoids getting hit by Totsuka. Now Itachi begins spamming Amaterasu or launches a Yasaka Magatama.

In the case of Ame, Minato simply runs. Itachi ignites all the kunai he can see so Minato uses shadow clones to close the gap. 1 clone FTG's Susanoo away while the 2nd goes for the kill and marks Itachi in case he manages to survive. After that its a repeat of this process until Itachi dies of exhaustion or Minato FTG Level 2's him.

If Yasaka, he Guiding Thunders it to a location closer to Itachi. Possibly destorying it or at least a part of to allow a kunai through for FTG Level 2.
