Minato takes this fight. But people are seriously underestimating Itachi's genjutsu here. There's a really high chance that Itachi WILL catch Minato in Genjutsu.

Watch these short fights to see how Itachi can sneakily put anyone in Genjutsu:

Thing is, when it comes to Itachi, you don't even notice whether what you are seeing and doing is actually a reality or a genjutsu. It's almost impossible to tell the difference. He can literally sneakily put anyone in a Genjutsu in the beginning of the fight itself and the person wouldn't even notice it till the halfway of the fight. Hell, the entire fight itself could be a Genjutsu and he clearly won't make you realize that until it's too late for you lol. Plus, Minato, by feat, has never shown that he's Genjutsu resistant or that he can counter Genjutsu OR HELL, we don't even know if he can counter a low-level Genjutsu and or even tell the difference between reality and genjutsu ITSELF.

if itachi has Shisui's eye, then it becomes even more troublesome. With Kotoamatsukami, Minato would unknowingly be fully under the control of Itachi and Minato would never ever be able to notice it. Not even in the end. Itachi should easily be able to capture him sneakily in the middle of the fight.

And Itachi can also use Genjutsu via his ring. He did the same to Naruto in episode 15. Itachi seriously just has TOO many options with Genjutsu. It's just impossible to not fall in one.

IMO, Itachi takes this with 4/10. Minato would EASILY be able to counter all his hidden tricks once he comes to know them one by one. Minato wins this with high difficulty and with a 6/10.
