Itachi and Minato, two kage level ninja who’s 100% ability is still unknown. Itachi became a genin at 7, chunin at 9 and an ANBU captain at the age of 13 and later on went to join the Akatsuki and even played the villain during his fight with Sasuke. Awesome isn’t he? I don’t need to mention that I guess. Minato on the other hand has been given the title of the fastest shinobi and nicknamed the Yellow Flash for his speed. Both of them are tactical geniuses. Let’s see who’s gonna win this battle, do let us know about who’s gonna win this battle in the comments section. Let’s have a healthy discussion and not a war!
Itachi’s abilities
• Mangekyo Sharingan
• Tsukuyomi
• Amaterasu
• Susanoo with Yata Mirror and Sword of Totsuka
• Yasaka Magatama
• Fire Release and Water Release
• Izanami and Izanagi
Minato’s abilities
• Flying Thunder God Master
• Shurikenjutsu
• Developed the Rasengan
• Summoning Jutsu (Toads)
• Large Chakra reserves
• Extremely quick
• Tailed Beast Mode
Itachi would win for sure, his Mangekyou sharingan has Amaterasu, if it hits even a little bit, Minato’s dead. Also when they’ll face each other head on, itachi’s one look is more than enough to screw Minato. Minato in fact doesn’t stand a chance, admit it guys 😛

Rize san stop acting like you know everything. Minato is 100x more powerful than Itachi, Minato didnt simply become the 4th Hokage, people from other nations were ordered to flee when they saw Minato, that’s how powerful he was, also he was able to stop Obito to some extent and save the village from 100% damage, and when in a one on one battle with Itachi, before he can even stare, itachi will be dead, , it’s not simply that people call him the yellow flash
c’mon Minato became hokage when itachi was still something like 5 . He didn’t even have his sharingan yet .Let’s just say that during minato’s time there weren’t any big threats in the other villages so he didn’t really have any competition .You said that itachi would die before even being able to stare but you should always remember the fact that he was on par with KCM Naruto so he would be able to activate his visual prowess in time. he would just use his susanoo .With the Yata mirror itachi can deflect any attack even though i think he won’t really need it since minato doesn’t have anything in his arsenal to hurt itachi’s susanoo. During the fight minato should always be aware of the fact that the totsuka blade would seal him away.If we consider the time itachi still had shisui’s eye he could simply use it to implant false memories. With the izanami itachi would just seal was minato’s fate. I’ve never really heard about itachi’s izanagi but if he does the it means that he would easily take this
Arguments can be made on both of these spectrums. In a real event it all comes down to circumstances. Who makes use of the opportunity with the limited resources best.
No. If u watched how Ri fought of sasuke. speed is really matter in order to dodge the amaterasu. if u wamt u could watch it
My dear friend Itachi is a dreaded trickster, I don’t need to tell you, he’ll trap you in his Genjutsu and minato will kinda RIP forever just like Kakashi. Actually Itachi vs Minato is not even a question. Lord Itachi rules

Minato won’t fall for such an attack I’M SURE,
Minato knows about the uchiha genjutsu and before itachi even has a chance to lift his finger he would already be beaten.
Uhm, if I can add something!
I love both these guys, but then again we have to be fair. Minato is the fastest shinobi alive, however, Itachi is also known for his speed too. If you check the battle between Itachi and Sasuke, he was able to weave signs while both shinobi’s were throwing Shurikens at each other; pops up Itachi’s Shadow Clone tossing shurikens mid-air.
Another incident where we see Itachi’s speed is when he was battling Kakashi, he weaved signs so fast that even Kakashi as a skilled copy ninja could not pick up that he did signs.
What I’m trying to show is that Itachi is fast, therefore I’m sure his eyes are as fast as he moves too…so, there will be moments were he would be able to see Minato’s attacks, remember he has Mangekyou…on the other hand, Minato’s speed is flawless…not even the Raikage was able match it..yes, but that speed can be out matched somehow.
Take a close look at Minato battling the Raikage when Bee was present also. The Raikage came out with his super speed punch, but Minato dodged it, shocked by this, the Raikage looked at Bee, and there Minato sat with his Kunai pointing at Bee’s head, check this out, Bee also had his blade pointed at Minato…meaning he read Minato or Bee saw that attack coming.
I believe that Itachi is in that level also of being able to pinpoint fast paced movements.
Minato in indeed super strong n super fast but itachi he is a different level all together his izanami n izanagi can really be a pain in the ass…..so itachi for me
Itachi Can only use one of them as if he uses both of them he’ll lose his eyesight and against someone as powerful as Minato, he’ll screw up. So Itachi will have to fight Minato without Izanagi or izanami. One more thing I would like to mention is Minato knows a variety of sealing jutsus which he learnt from the Uzumaki clan, which is pretty dangerous
I’d just like to add one correction
Hiruzen was not called ‘The God of Shinobi’
He was known as ‘The Professor’ because he had mastered all the ninjutsu of the hidden leaf
‘The God of Shinobi’ was the title given to the first hokage, Hashirama Senju
I’m so sorry
Wrong post
I guess you were talking in reference to another post. It’s true that Hiruzen Sarutobi was called the professor. Hiruzen along with Hashirama and Hagoromo were called the God of shinobi. If you need proof or more details you can check out the wikia. This is what is stated in the wikia- Hiruzen Sarutobi (猿飛ヒルゼン, Sarutobi Hiruzen) was the Third Hokage (三代目火影, Sandaime Hokage, Literally meaning: Third Fire Shadow) of Konohagakure. A disciple of the village’s previous Hokage, Hiruzen was a powerful ninja, hailed as a “God of Shinobi”.

I hope I was able to answer you
minato would win. every ability the mangekyo has has a weakness that even danzo found.imagine someone with minato’s IQ.Itachi has gen jutsu which doesn’t work against sage mode(due to two chakra natures) and no physical ability works on someone as fast as minato(even without teleportation). look itachi is powerful but he is not at the same brackets as minato. people over estimate itachi.
In terms of IQ it’s pretty obvious that itachi has a higher one. Itachi could just protect himself with a susanoo so basically all of minato’s attacks would be useless unless maybe he used the 9 tails beast bombs which would all be blocked by the Yata mirror so as long as itachi stayed in his susanoo minato had to play defense
minato would win. every ability the mangekyo has has a weakness that even danzo found.imagine someone with minato’s IQ.Itachi has gen jutsu which doesn’t work against sage mode(due to two chakra natures) and no physical ability works on someone as fast as minato(even without teleportation). look itachi is powerful but he is not at the same brackets as minato. people over estimate itachi. so sorry bet this aint no contests that everyone is making it into
Itachi was an Anbu when Minato was hokage…so there is no comparision between the two because Itachi had’nt reached his full potential(if you have seen the story you know this) whereas Minato was at his full potential by the time he was hokage….
Itachi was like a Desciple for Minato, Like kakashi was !(agreed to the fact that Itachi was better than Kakashi but still Until Minato was alive Itachi had’nt reached his full potential…So no point of comparison!
This will give you some relief cause fact is fact xD
True! I couldn’t agree more. The real reason behind the comparison was trying to analyse Itachi and Minato’s powers and maybe find out where they stand. But true intellect can’t be compared
Itachi didn’t possess ordinary uchiha genjutsu
