But to make Susano'o appear I think that Itachi must first use Tsukuyomi and then Amaterasu and Minato can do something to stop that with his speed.

But with Susano'o Minato can't put the seal in Itachi unless he puts his special kunai near Itachi before he activates Susano'o but Itachi is not fool to let that happen but Minato would do something inteligent or... wow, the two of them are so good, is hard to guess about the fight.

Itachi has sword of totsuka(probably most powerful weapon in series, in all likelyhood, sword seeked for years by orochimaru) and the yata mirror(perfect defense against any attack) two of the divine celestial weapons(japanese imperial regalia), and it has been said with these in hand he is practically invincible.-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Regalia_of_Japan
"To all visitors from Transylvania looking for the head of Voivode Dracula: Yes, we have it. Yes, he's dead. No, you cannot see it. No, he will not return and invade you again. It has been over thirty years, please stop pestering us."
Here's the problem and why I think Itachi would still lose:
Minato can port away until Itachi runs out of chakra. Then poof goes his Susano'o and weapons. A ninja is likely to do that in Naruto...especially the super assassin Minato.
Minato only has to port far enough away to keep out of his sight but he can still keep an eye on Itachi. The Sharingan is not the byakugan.
hmmm, I guess I wasn't really thinking when I said that haha. But what I WAS thinking, was when he teleported the kyuubi's blast away, then had chakra to seal the kyuubi.
Even though he hasn't shown to have more RAW POWER like I said, I still think he would win....for the OTHER reasons I said haha.
Both of which could win this (if and when he lands an attack), though I doubt he would use the Shinigami on Itachi. The only reason the Third used it, was because the First and Second were invincible otherwise.
But the reason I say he'd win, is he is SO fast, both in physical speed, and making plans. He instantly knows what to do, and instantly implement these plans. Itachi is similar, but...Minato...hmm, honestly, the biggest reason I think minato would win, is because I think he SHOULD be better, but when I look at only the FACTS, it isn't as sure a thing. He is faster physically, but we don't know if he can get passed susanoo, etc....I don't know, I do think he'd win, but I don't know what to say to show this.
Minato can overwhelm Itachi with his speed, and once he puts the seal on Itachi is all over, except if Itachi uses Susano'o.
