Minato vs Itachi

So his only option is to run away?

Susanoo isn't Itachi's only tool. He can still use his other MS abilities while inside it. Amaterasu would be more than enough. And Minato isn't dodging all of Itachi's susanoos' attacks. Sooner or later he'll get messed up. Either from having to watch the encroaching flames of Amaterasu or from the general destruction that would be caused from Susanoo's attacks. The totsuka blade would be waiting to trap him in a genjutsu would for all eternity. 😉

And thats worse case scenario. Chances are Itachi wouldn't need to resort to this.

Minato simply teleports far away from the battle place, and when Itachi lows his guard, like deactivating Susano'o and stoping Sharingan Minato attacks so fast that Itachi would not know what hit him.

This is sort of my argument, as well.

Minato does not have to go very far. Just far enough to be out of range of the Sharingan. He can teleport to any location around Itachi with his Kunai.

Yea, like someone said, Sharingan is not the Byakugan.
Was it you dadudemon?

Sharingan doesn't have to be Byakugan. You still cant hide from it. It can see chakra. And if the only human chakra around is Minato....he'll see him.

and even if that were a valid strategy, while Minato is busy running and hiding Itachi creates a doppelganger. He lowers Susasnoo and when Minato teleports back in to try and get the kill, he's hit with Amatarasu as Itachi watches him attack the clone.

But if Minato goes very far, Itachi would not detect him.
And what if Minato does too a doppelganger, Itachi will attack it, and in the distraction Minato attacks, puts the seal, and teleport Itachi to a pit muahahahaha.

Yet unless he already has marks set up somewhere Itachi will be able to see him runaway. Which would result in Amaterasu to the back.

This fight is without prep time I assume.

Minato always prepares the battlefield with kunais in strategical positions.

Someone as high-level as Minato would not emit chakra. Only chakra monsters/idiots like Naruto and Raikage would emit chakra in a resting state. Minato would be insivible unless Minato used chakra.

At that, Minato just has to go far enough way to be out of sight of Itachi and he can still use chakra.

The Sharingan does not have very good x-ray vision. It seems to be able to look through things that are close but far away, it has not x-ray abilities.

I don't buy the "Minato can't dodge all the Susaano attacks" he may as well do it, it would be useless to spam attacks and spend heavy amounts of chakra by blasting a faster/smarter opponent with teleporting abilities. He can and would dodge as many attacks as needed before formulating an strategy and complicate things further for Itachi.

He may wait for Susano'o to dissapear or, I think I saw the Susano'o weak point is the back bone, is it true?

One of the main abilites of the sharingan is to be able to see the flow of chakra. And even resting, Minato will have visible chakra inside of him. Its not like the byakugan in that it won't see the chakra network with great detail or the tenketsu, or a basically 360 degree view all around and all that but it sees chakra as color. If it has chakra, the Sharingan can see it. And even if it couldnt for whatever reason due to him resting, his chakra would come alive as sonn as he teleported. Itachi wouldn't lost him after that.

Because he knows the limits of the sharingan? How far is far enough? All it would take with the mangekyo is one look at him and the amaterasu would do the rest. If he makes it far enough out to where Itachi can no longer pick him up he'd still be at a teribble disadvantage. Itachi isn't an idiot or standard shinobi, and marked knives close to his direction would stand out. He'd get rid of them. And honestly he's fast enough as he's proven to be able to pop susanoo before minato can harm him. If it can protect itachi frim Kirin it'll do it again Minato.

Why do you say that?

What strategy? Minato is smart, but Itachi isn't a below average shinobi in that field either. And Minato has little to no room for error. It's not like it would matter anyway though whether he'd dodge the susanno or not. It wouldnt get to that point. The fight would be over the second he was caught in a minor genjutsu. Tsukuyomi would be next.

btw yes I am uchihatard if anyones wondering 😛

Minato would use his space-time jutsu and go after Itachi. Itachi could not evade it and receive a beating by Minato. Itachi would use Katon Gokakyu No Jutsu but Minato would evade it easily. Minato again would use space-time justu but with a kunai this time but Itachi uses Crow Bunshin and prepares tu use Amaterasu but Minato evades it easily again but Minato didn't notice Itachi caught him in wires and use Amaterasu but Minato evades at the last moment but Amaterasu caughts his leg.

Minato use the speed of light and frees himself from Amaterasu and hitting Itachi with Rasengan. Itachi badly wounded uses Susano'o but Minato summons Gamabunta but Itachi attacks Gamabunta with Totsuka Sword sealing him but that's not a problem and Minato summons him again (he may do it again because the Summon justu is of temporay space).

Once summoned again he teleports with Gamabunta inside Susano'o crushing Itachi and if not Minato uses Rasengan and is all over.

If Minato is caught with Amaterasu he isn't getting it off. Has he done anything that would even imply that thats possible? Has anyone done so? And being sealed inside the totsuka blade isnt like being teleported somewhere else. Its permanent genjutsu. The opponent is sealed in a genjutsu stupor for all eternity. And if Minato gets caught with wires.....their is no evading Amaterasu. He's done. you either get out of the casters sight instantly or its over.

Well, Minato would use his kunais to escape from the wires before Amaterasu get him.

Minato can run away all he likes. Itachi will still be able to cast a genjutsu on him.

awesome

But without even glancing eyes, Itachi MUST SEE Minato in order to make a genjustu.

Which he could and would
