Originally posted by ichigo12he raises his right hand and places a basic genjutsu on him. Even if it only takes Minato a second or two in order to break it, how much time does Itachi need to appear infront of him and place tsukuyomi on him? Minatos faster but itachi isnt exactly slow either.
Explain how Itachi would win this fight.
Doesn't take long for Susanoo to be summoned either. He summoned it before Sasuke's Kirin (or whatever its called.) struck him. Minato can't really try and outlast it once its out either. Sharingan may not be the Byakugan in its ability to see, but it can still see the chakra in its opponent. Minato would be clearly visible to Itachi if he was trying to hide or some such. Which unless there's some jutsu I don't now about, is all he would be able to do once Itachi pulls the trump card out.
Now I don't want to sound like I'm saying Minato loses 10/10. He wouldn't lol. But ultimately Itachi is his superior and would win more than not.
.....Beating Tobi lets him somehow get an advantage over Itachi? Despite the completely different abilities that they both have? And the fact that Tobi didn't have Mangekyo? No....
Minato wins if Itachi fights him head to head. Like speed to speed. Or with his regular Taijutsu and Ninjutsu. That type of battle. Wouldn't be hard for Minato to place a seal on Itachi during the fight then Minato could teleport in for the kill shot.
But if Itachi uses his abilities like I said earlier.....Yondaime isn't winning. Thats really not debatable in my opinion.
