That’s kuz Naruto has so many possibilities and different ways characters could’ve interacted with one another in a way that they never would in the story and it’s also hypothetical fights and situations based on what we’ve been given by the authors and shockingly it’s entertaining asf plus there’s no actual video that you need to look at or the panels if you’re well informed about the show you can just listen to it like a podcast
Minato has a pretty insane win condition for nearly everyone in the story. 1. Place a FTG seal on the person. 2. Withdraw; heck, teleport all the way back to Konoha if you want. 3. Prepare a kill move, pick one. Charge a kunai with elemental energy, like Asuma. Create a rasengan. Take the time to prepare Sage Mode. Whatever. 4. Teleport back to the person and hit them with your kill move of choice, all at absurd speeds. Fin.
Imagine how annoying it must be to fight against Itachi. Like his mere presence is enough to put most people on a full on acid trip and once you break out of it and start to develop counterplay, youre probably in another genjutsu. And everything you know about him is lies on top of lies. You can never trust anything you know or sense once Itachi comes around and its a huge deal because power isnt everything and getting into your opponent's head wins the battle time and time again. At some point you just have to think "nah im not fking with that" Like even if you could kill Itachi it probably isnt worth the risk and trouble. Even Obito with the most broken hacks ever would rather just wait and let Itachi die before going against his will
@mrprotoman154 so in the one shot. Kurama starts to take over Kushina (this would've been teen minato more than likely.) His stomach was literally pierced open with a massive hole and was poisoned by kuramas Chakra (as we know a small amount poisoned Sakura so bad she passed out.) Yet minato got hit hard with it, despite that he projected himself into Kushina and with his rasengan, that he JUST learned, he clashed with a full 9 tails Bijuu bomb.) Kurama was being partially restrained by Kushina to be fair, but the one shot says directly that her chains grow more powerful the older she gets, so they were vastly weaker than what we know she can do later on. And what we do know is by the end of the battle, Minato had defeated and solidified the seal on kurama. Kurama in multiple translations also straight up says, a shinobi of the same caliber as Hashirama still exists? We don't know what he means with this, but kurama hypes up Minato HARD, then questions why someone so powerful would defend Kushina. Further hyping him up. We also get direct confirmation that Kushina teaches minato all the Uzumaki sealing abilities
@remington_acr1651 that's like saying sage Naruto vs Kurama is irrelevant. When we know it isn't, it's viable for scaling. In fact sage Naruto vs Kurama was a huge plot point for both story and scaling of Naruto with/without Kuramas chakra. So Kurama vs Minato is straight up usable unless you're intentionally ignoring Shippuden.
I love minato, he’s my favorite character and I think under most circumstances he wins against most people because of how good he is with the teleportation. The problem with fighting Itachi is that his genjutu is so busted that simply looking in his eyes is basically a death sentence. However there’s two scenarios where Minato wins. One is if he sneaks around without looking into his eyes. And two, we saw in the war he is capable of using toad sage mode, which offers resistance (but not complete immunity) to genjutsu. Of course this would mean he would have to go into the fight being in sage mode. I hate to say it cause Minato is my favorite, but 9/10 times Itachi wins.
10:05 i dont see why amaterasu is the first point of contension against minatos shuriken when itachi is one of the most impresive shurikenjutsu users in the series, he looks way more impresive with shurikenjutsu than minato and even lowballing this to just on par this would mean that minato wont be landing any kunai near itachi and theres also a very high chance itachi redirects minatos defensive shuriken with his own.
@@jamaulwinston490This thought is delusional. Minato can teleport wherever he wants to, he just use the shuriken to "DIRECTLY" teleport to the target. In other words he can teleport wherever he wants but it helps him to get behind the target he wants while conserving energy. Not that he can't just go there. After he was revived he just teleported to the battlefield without any shurikens, it's just more precision. Also Minato can go to whichever mark he wants so it's not random.
A weak genjutsu is easy to break, tough to detect. A strong genjutsu is tough to break, easy to detect. It’s hard to come to a conclusion when it’s itachi casting it, and minato breaking it. Ones like the best genjutsu user and the other has great sensory, chakra amount, and chakra control.
The thing is, genjutsu, especially of Itachi’s caliber can theoretically alter all of your senses simultaneously. Minato may think his chakra is perfectly fine all the while he’s actually being affected by the genjutsu.
@@remington_acr1651 yeah probably. Even though I haven’t seen any evidence to suggest his genjutsu alters your senses, I also haven’t seen anything that says they can’t alter them either.
@@remington_acr1651 true to an extent , but Itachi will still require a small time window to get control over the senses of the person he is casting it on, Minato being fast and a high level sensory ninja will detect it immediately and will try breaking it immediately, so it won't get to a point of Itachi altering his senses
This is a crazy fight because both of them are crazy difficult to hit and if they hit you it’s over! Their offence and defence and intelligence are off the charts.
@@Juubian Yeah, he’s weaker that Obito lol. Unless you can give a scenario where Itachi thinks of a plan that you can prove will ACTUALLY work on Minato, then saying “Itachi is smart he’ll think of something” holds absolutely no weight.
Six coming to the conclusion about genjutsu, the nine tails and minato really impressed me. Ofc he couldn’t also get minto under while he has Kurama. Very impressed
I have a question. What if Sasori *actually* meets Kabuto in the Tenchi Bridge? So Orochimaru will still jump Sasori and destroy Hiruko. Can Orochimaru (now is sick, cannot use any ninjutsu, and weakened) and Kabuto defeat Sasori? Or if Sasori brought Deidara as a backup, are Orochimaru and Kabuto cooked?
@@kodoqbesar4301 orochimaru is still very capable. Bro was equally fighting 4 tails Naruto and even stabbed and pushed him back. I think orochimaru could probably take out deidara but neither of them have a counter to sasoris iron sand let alone his 100 puppets. Sakura and chiyo would’ve been dead in the first couple minutes without their antidote that they made before hand
Sasori slams Kabuto and Magic Johnson Orochimaru on their heads very badly on his own. Let alone with Deidara. Orochimaru’s confidence means exactly nothing truly, since Orochimaru was also confident he could 1) take Itachi’s body 2) kill Hiruzen without anything going wrong 3) kill blind Itachi 4) take Sasuke’s body 5) kill Tsunade He might have the most misplaced confidence in the entire series.
Kabuto and Orochimaru together could still beat Sasori even without his arms but if diedara is there then Orochimaru and kabuto are cooked orochimaru is still a monster even without his arms as he was fighting 4 tails naruto 😂😂😂
@@FreeJalen orochimaru has been shown to be capable of avoiding death by just molting from his old body, I don't doubt he could just avoid the poison. Though I think he still loses
I think this video was well done and it’s no coincidence that the two most glazed character stack pretty well against eachother it just makes sense. Honestly tho I was disappointed that minato didn’t have more to his ability since most of the OG series made the fourth hokage out to be the greatest ninja of all time. Then we learn that minato was probably closer to third strongest hokage (not even top three shinibi) and undoubtedly second to hashirama.
I don't think the kunai amaterasu is a viable win con. Minato almost never teleports making direct contact with his kunai. He can and usually does teleport a decent distance away from it
W video Six just as good as the rest. Tho this is definitely one of my favorites based on the matchup alone. These two are in my top 3 favorite Naruto Characters.
Since Minato was in this video, this actually reminds me of an older Swagkage video of Minato (alive and base) vs the Third Raikage. Is this the "too fast vs too durable" fight or is this fight worth talking about?
I'm still frustrated at that one. You really telling me Minato is dumber than Mr. Incredible? I feel like anyone that isn't as dumb as a box of rocks would think "maybe his attack can beat his defense"
Saying Bees mutual strike was premeditated is generous. Also having one of Minatos win con being just to touch him is also generous considering Bee counter acted this that would give them both a loss or a tie.
six, after minatos one shot came out, what are your thoughts on minato just outright blowing apart itachis susonoo with a rasengan, maybe even enhance with senjutsu
Itachi is the most suitable person to counter Minato as the Flying Raijin works by placing a seal over a kunai to be thrown and then teleporting to where the kunai was thrown. From the beginning we have always been shown Itachi training with the kunai and being so strong that he can throw the kunai and immediately after, hit the same kunai thrown a second earlier with other kunai and hit all the targets and all this with his eyes closed. Kabuto himself in the battle against Nagato states "I thought that the greater field of vision provided by the rinnegan summons would be enough but Itachi is so good with the kunai that he manages to find a blind spot to use to hit the targets. He is actually too strong." To counter flying Raijin it would be enough to do what he has always done, that is, deflect the thrown kunai. And this is a very probable scenario as the power of the flying Raijin itself also depends on the user's ability to throw the kunai as the weapon mainly used for it. Itachi, being certainly with evidence and statements the best in this, he would have no problem deflecting the kunai thrown by Minato. In some battles, Minato throws kunai scattered across the battlefield to create a favorable scenario for the use of the flying Raijin. To counter this, Itachi could use amaterasu to make the points where the kunai are stuck unusable. minato is not immune to genjutsu and tsukuyomi and if he does what he's done in the fight against obito i.e. look his opponent in the eyes then it would be over for him. The only one who can fight without looking his opponent directly in the eyes is Guy, something Minato can't do. Furthermore, Itachi can create an illusion even just by pointing at you, or touching you, so it's not just the eye contact that matters. Minato’s speed is comparable to the high tiers of the Naruto verse only beacuse of flying Raijin but without it he’s not so fast and with his body flicker he’s slower than Shisui, who’s stated to be the best body flicker user and so better than minato without ftg. The same Itachi trained his all youth with Shisui and in the novel it is stated that while sparring Itachi won several times against Shisui even though Shisui won even more times than Itachi. So Itachi can perfectly deal with fast people (Shisui who has better body flicker than Minato) and win via statements and feats in the novel. The same Itachi was stated to be the pinnacle of his clan while not even awakening his mangekyo so he’s stated to be above Fugaku Who was a rival to Minato for the position of Hokage. Then like I said Minato to kill his opponents uses mainly the flying Raijin with his kunai. Like he did against Obito or agianst Killer Bee and Ay. And that’s consistent since to kill someone Minato needs to teleport near him and the simplest way is to throw the kunai near the opponent and then teleport. So the flying Raijin techinque depends for the majority on the skills of the person in kunai and shuriken jutsu. Itachi is stated and shown through the entire manga to be the best user of kunai and to deflect kunai like it’s nothing with his eyes closed or to blitz Nagato’s summining’s vision with Kabuto admitting he’s the best. So Itachi can just deflect all of Minato’s kunai since he’s stated to be better than anyone in kunai and so better than Minato. Yeah minato can mark other things but it would be useless since the main victory factor comes from blitzing the opponent with his kunai. To assume that Minato can kill Itachi without his kunai we have to concede the fact that Minato has prep time and so an advantage. But we are talking about a fight where neither Minato or Itachi have an initial advantage. Like minato would not have any time to mark trees or other things. The only way that he could is that Itachi let him do so, but that would never happen. Then in the fight against killer bee, minato gets behind him but killer bee succeded in reacting to him by pointing at him his sword. So even though minato teleported behind him, killer bee was still able to react to him and he didn’t got blitzed. That shows that if minato teleports behind or near Itachi, he can react to him like Killer bee did cause itachi has better speed and reaction speed than Killer bee. Without a doubt he can react to minato the same way bee did. So Itachi could counter the ftg with his kunai mastery and then he could also react to minato thanks to his reaction speed being superior to that of Killer bee. Then if Minato’s throw Kunais in several locations in the battlefield, Itachi can just set on fire some of those locations with his amaterasu making Minato unable to teleport to those points. Then the Ems Sasuke being above Itachi is contradicted by the Kabuto fight where Itachi showed in every aspect better feats than Sasuke. He was holding back to protect him the whole fight, guiding him and while also preparing the stages for the activation of izanami. Than Itachi in the databook statement says that he recognize Sasuke as his equal but that could just mean that he doesn’t see him like the little brother who needs protection but instead a skilled ninja like him who can cooperate and help him, more like a status thing. It’s also stated that with ems, Sasuke techniques and eye techiniques surpassed his own brother. For the eye techinque is referring to basic sharingan an mangekyo genjutsu but not to tsukuyomi who’s stated to be the strongest genjutsu by zetsu then for techinques we have taijutsu and ninjutsu. So Sasuke surpasses Itachi only in these aspectes and not in speed, battle iq, intelligence, tsukuyomi ecc…And especcially by feats in the Kabuto fight itachi is shown superior in combat than ems Sasuke, Itachi was shown more faster, reacting better to kabuto’s attacks, protecing Sasuke, telling him what to do, and all of that while suppressing his power and while preparing all the stages for the activation of izanami. So yeah ITACHI WINS.
The fact that itachi has the advantage in prep ALWAYS due to him being younger and definitely studied on things like sage mode and FTG Plus the fact that his basic genjutsu is not just insanely strong but hard to trace And coupled with the fact that its WAAAY easier for itachi to use genjutsu before minato flicks his wrist to start teleporting Makes this an advantage to itachi everytime
It's hard to trace from Weaker sensory ninja. Guy, Jiraiya, Minato ,hashirama Tobirama, Hiruzen have looked into a uchias eyes, there's nothing special about genjutsu once it reaches its match.
@@ajayimoses2495 you don't know that since they are all aware of how strong itachi is. Sasuke comfortably dealt with tsukiyomi, and itach seemed go be surprised by this
@@ignipotent7276 minato has never dealt with an uchiha who uses genjutsu off rip like itachi does… He has almost zero intel on finger genjutsu, demon chain shackles which took out orochimaru or Tsukuyomi which is an instant W If itachi didn’t reduce the effects of Tsukuyomi Kakashi and sasuke would be dead
@ajayimoses2495 is it said that itachi reduced the affects of tsukiyomi against Sasuke? Also it doesn't matter about Finger Genjutsu, Minato has high sensory abilities to deal with such genjutsu, He could definitely react to the casting of said ninjutsu, I don't even think Someone like itachi has dealt with anyone as fast as Minato ever.
Minato could only make so little clones becauae he was helping with the four crimson ray barrier. But those clones even make clones theoughout the fight. In a normal battle he'd use more
Surprised you didn’t mention itachis explosive shadow clones. He could use them as bait for a FTG mark and potentially catch minato with it. Wouldn’t kill him but might hurt him a bit and divert minato strategy of placing a FTG seal directly on itachi
Minato meat riding is more common than itachi meat riding .Tho i think its close to a 50/50 fight since Minato can’t actually pierce the susasno,and itachi is great at shuriken jutsu so he can counter a direct ftg throw easy.
Hiraishin + Substitution Jutsu combo would be nasty ngl. Not only you have to guess where Minato will show up, you also have to be ready in case that the one that show up is a subs.
Lets be real it's most likely that itachi would win because of genjutsu or his susanoo. Itachi can keep up with kcm naruto with no issue so minato is not speed blitzing him without the flying rajin and even still it's been shown that itachi cast his genjutsu without warning or build up so its very likely that minato wont even see it coming. Even then itachi was able to react to kirin and put up his susanoo AFTER sasuke had already fired it off. Then itachi has the touska blade which is an immediate one tap plus the yata mirrior which deflects all physical attacks. Itachi has way more win conditions than minato, if minato can't outspeed itachi and fight drags on then itachi will have more and more chances to hit him with either the touska blade or tsukuyomi. And if minato uses his shadow clones itachi would just use his susanoo to not get overwhelmed and gamabunta is not breaking through the yata mirror and gets one tapped by the tousuka blade. Itachi has wayy more winning options than minato's speed blitz rasengan combo.
@@antoneopitts2212 if the fight drags on the only one with an advantage would be minato since itachis stamina and chakra reserves while alive are trash, the susano really has no deciding factor here since minato can easily out speed it and easily outlast it, as for the edo itachi and kcm Naruto fight, it was a weaker version of kcm than the one that outsped the raikage so he wouldn’t be as fast and 2 its clearly depicted in the fight that Naruto isn’t going all out as he’s confused as to why itachi is attacking him since they were comrades the last time they met Naruto is also trying to have a conversation with itachi, if you’re being realistic and unbiased just like the video suggest the fight comes down to if itachi can put minato under a genjutsu since that’s his only win con. If he fails then he loses. Truly a 50-50 fight with a more likely outcome of minato winning since he has better speed,ap,iq,biq,stamina,and chakra reserves.
The only wincon Itachi has is Tsukuyomi, a Genjutsu that holds up in power throughout the series. Guiding thunder completely negates the Susano’o, Amaterasu, fire style, etc. Minato can easily one shot Itachi with simple kunai slashes, since the raikage felt threatened by them even with the lighting shroud, the same Jutsu that protected the Third Raikage from a war arc rasenshuriken. All in all Minato likely speed blitzes and cuts Itachi in half
@@shisaroid it's a unrealistic plot armor for minato to be able to hit the 4th or 3rd raikage without being electrocuted. As soon as his kunai gets near any of them or rasengan then it's lights out for minato. Minato has a lighting affinity but he is not know to a professional at any lighting type of Justus nor is he knows to wield lighting like Sasuke or kakashi. So his fried going up against the 4th or 3rd raikage.

This encounter could go either way. Both of them can win against each other because of their unpredictability in their way of fighting style approach. In my opinion Itachi is one of the most Unique, Authentic and Influential characters from the series. The thing that people underestimate about Itachi fights/encounters, isn't just his power, (it's mainly writters or Kishimoto's fault for making Itachi seem or to look very powerful throughout the series) but how smart and intelligent he is during various situations, he never, ever underestimates his opponents because of his composure and his way of being, the level of thinking he's on honestly dwars most people in the series, with only people like Minato and Shikaku comparable with him. More precisly, Itachi isn't just any ordinary Shinobi also, he pretty much knows and he's also aware that all strong opponents have weaknesses (including himself), and he specializes in finding those "weaknesses" and exploiting them ("*Even the strongest of opponents always has a weakness*" - Uchiha Itachi) because he's that type of character who can exceed almost any expectations. Itachi is very unique and authentic, especially in the factor of facing various encounters approach, his unpredictability in his way of fighting style approach it's his key factor in all of his encounters. Being blind or nearly blind has never slowed him down (especially when he's pretty much serious, but that's the point, he has never go all out against anyone during the series.) Itachi it's that type of character who can exceed almost any expectations. (at least that's what we were shown in the anime by the creator Masashi Kishimoto). Moral of the story, never underestimate Itachi. He did more sick than most healthy ninjas do in their entire life. In my opinion No One should underestimate such an unpredictable Shinobi like Itachi, even Madara (I won't say that Itachi can beat him, but at least he will be pretty much able to put a decent fight that Madara will also be impressed in my opinion). Also how can some of you guys even consider that Totsuka Blade it's slow when no such speed feat has been shown through the Shippuden that state it that it is slow? All of you are assuming it to be slow it may not be the case... Its not that the sword is unavoidable but it clearly has a very long range and is a very long blade. If you look at the manga, Naruto, Bee and Itachi are all relatively small from Nagato's point of view, and you can see the Totsuka Blade extending all the way from Itachi, piercing through Nagato, and still managing to nearly pop out toward the reader out of the page. I would say its fast because Kabuto coudldn't even react to it, and its not like Nagato was completely immobile to the point that he couldn't sidestep the blade. Also, Kabuto controlling people from far away is never stated to inhibit the Edos' reaction speed in any way. Being controlled by someone thousands of miles away didn't stop the Third Raikage from dodging KCM Naruto's Rasenshuriken. And as for Orochimaru, the sword struck him in between syllables of a word during his speech. I think that that is pretty fast. Pair the Totuska Blade with a good feint and its lethal because its ethereal, meaning it can pierce through any object. If the sword didn't live up to its reputation then Orochimaru wouldn't seek it out. People need to stop downplaying Itachi and denying the very clear speed feats of Totsuka. There is no room for interpretations here. The advantage of being an Uchiha, especially for Itachi and Madara, is that during an encounter against them, they always have a counter because of their unpredictable way of fighting factor, they don't run out of options or techniques, they almost always have a counter in their arsenal, even forbidden jutsus seems irrellevant against them, only a few Uchihas know a certain way to approach the situation with a certain and effective technique, that's why is hard/difficult to fight against them in my opinion. ☯️ 🤷♂️ Here are the things that make Itachi so formidable. Tsukuyomi - A genjutsu so powerful that you literally can't escape it unless you have the same blood as Itachi, as stated by Itachi himself and proven later by Sasuke, or you're a jinchuriki. Jinchuriki are supposed to be immune to genjutsu but it hasn't been proven, but when Bee was fighting Edo Nagato and Itachi with Naruto, he said to watch out for Tsukuyomi explicitly. Literally 99% of all opponents fighting Itachi have no way of stopping Tsukuyomi. You could have the power to split the planet in half and it wouldn't matter. (Want to know why? - Kakashi pretty much state it in the actual anime and manga that Tsukuyomi it's such a dangerous Genjutsu Technique because it happen in a instant, even if you realize that you are trapped in the Tsukuyomi, it will be too late, because Itachi could approach you during that time in the real world (or he can use an Explosive Clone to approach you without you even realizing it in time and he can pretty much finish you before you can even realize, - 72 hours in Tsukuyomi realm means 1 second or a couple of seconds in the real world. Tsukuyomi can't be broken, when used to it's fullest.) The Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror - The Susanoo itself is a near invincible defense but these two weapons take it to the next step. The Sword of Totsuka can seal "anything" if it even touches it. It's completely OP. It's hard to fight a guy that can seal you away if his sword even touches you. The Yata Mirror is even a bigger deal in my opinion. It doesn't block attacks, it's "negates" them. You could throw an Amaterasu covered Bijuu bomb at Itachi and the Yata mirror will negate it, making it so the Susanoo doesn't even need to take a blow. You could punch the Yata mirror and the force will completely be negated. His biggest strength of all: tactical intelligence - Itachi always outsmarts and plans for everything because the plot demands it. You're physically strong? Itachi is already 2 steps ahead of you knowing exactly what to do. You're extremely fast? Again, 2 steps. You're going to try and outlast Itachi in a fight? Good luck. To add to this, some of the 3 most powerful techniques in the verse are due to his intelligence and planning ability; Izanami, Izanagi, and Kotoamatsukami. Izanami - A forbbiden genjutsu technique that allows you to alter someone's destiny. Impossible to break out of even if you know you're in a genjutsu without complying with the users set destiny for you. Even someone like Bee, a perfect Jinchuriki, can't escape Izanami unless he does what Itachi wants him to. Izanagi - You somehow gained an advantage over Itachi? He makes it so that advantage never happened. Kotoamatsukami - Though Shisui's technique, Itachi has his eye which effectively makes it his weapon. A genjutsu so powerful that the person it's cast on doesn't even know they're under a genjutsu. Like the Tsukuyomi, completely OP. To add to all of this, Itachi is pretty good at hand to hand combat, is great with shuriken, is extremely fast, is great with regular fire techniques, is slippery and unpredictable, and has the extremely dangerous and fast Genjutsu style of fighting approach that can caught you off guard almost at any time. With all of these things considered you've got one dangerous ninja. Lastly but not least Kishimoto made sure that Itachi was seen as someone special and he did an incredible job in establishing that in the story. When Itachi Uchiha awakened his Susano'o, he was seen wielding legendary weapons of the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror. The former allowed Itachi to seal anyone he pierced in a world of genjutsu forever, while the latter gave him the ability to deflect any and all attacks thrown towards him, regardless of whether they were physical or spiritual in nature. According to Zetsu (who was around since the period of Kaguya time era until the present of Naruto) he state it in the anime and also in the manga that these weapons, when combined with his Susano'o, made Itachi Invincible. This is why Kishimoto basically had to give him a handicap: Naruto AIDS. 🤷♂️ ☯️
I would say there's no such a thing as genjutsu resistance in Narutoverse Everyone falls into genjutsu, but there are the ones who get out of it faster, there are those who are slower to get out and there are those who are unable to get out of a genjutsu.
@@mryellow6918he probably resisted the effects via not immediately collapsing but he was still incapacitated to the point where it would be considered a battlefield removal essentially.
“Itachi’s win cons rely on extreme generosity” *says minato won’t look into itachi’s eyes even tho the one time he fought an uchiha he looked straight into their eyes* I think it’s more likely that minato gets caught in some genjutsu than minato places a seal on him. Itachi in character starts out by fight with shadow or crow clones, and when he was actually trying in a fight (but not going all out) he started the fight with susanoo rib cage which would mean minato cannot touch him. Plus, itachi has one of the best biq (but so does minato) and would likely make sure to just get rid of minato’s kunai on the battlefield with some fire or water style jutsu. Also, what many don’t bring up, itachi likely knows about minato’s abilities since he was known to do much research on the leaf, including on powerful past shinobi like madara and hashirama, so it’s likely itachi has read about and knows about ftg and how minato uses it. Minato doesn’t have that same luxury since he died when itachi was like 5.
Minatos just overhyped, shame that these youtubers go along with it They always discount genjutsu and say "just DonT lOOk aT their eYeS" Not only is that a stupid argument but it always implies they won't EVER make eye contact in a fight which I find complete bullshit seems rather impossible to not look at these guys' eyes at ALL. The in universe counter is dumb anyway, wtf does not looking I to their eyes achieve? If anything, you should have your eyes not visible at all to avoid it. It's more likely that minato gets burned to crisp by amaterasu then avoiding genjutsu for an entire fight, somehow breaking the sussnoo and then somehow landing s speed blitz one shot

@@coin4898What do you mean “for an entire fight” ?? You make it sound like this’ll be some prolonged endeavor. The fight isn’t lasting very long, Minato will kill him quite early in the battle. If you disagree I’d love to continue this conversation on discord, do you have one?
Minato vs edo itachi would be a better match up. Obviously sick itachi loses. Even then against edo itachi id give it to minato high diff b/c of his expertise with FTG, Versatility & Sealing prowess.
Itachi is known for putting people in genjutsu before fights even begin. Minato has no knowledge of Itachi (or very minimal). And based on past knowledge, Minato has been known to stare directly at a sharingan. At this point, it doesnt matter how OP Minato is. Hes already caught before the fight begins. Itachi could kill him with the genjutsu. Or he could kill him while hes in the genjutsu. Either way, this isnt as simple as "Who's stronger?" The question is who would win? Given everything I stated, Itachi quite literally no diffs Minato EVEN THOUGH Minato is stronger. Its really that simple.
No bro minato has a perfect sage he don’t have to open his eyes to fight , plus minato iq higher than itachis , and it’s stated that once you have good charka control you could break out of a genjustu to do flying rajin you need to have alot of chakra one of minato greatest feats Is TELEPORTING A TAILED BEASTS BOMBBBBB that explains everything about his charka cause he always spams flying rajin , The fight would basically go minato way either way once minato tags itachi it’s doneee… keep in mine minato is a sensory ninja and itachi doesn’t have a full susanoo so his feet is vulnerable
@@jabarryjoseph6130 You're ASSUMING a Minato that HAD KNOWLEDGE of Itachi. You're ASSUMING a Minato that's going to OPEN UP THE FIGHT with Perfect Sage Mode.

And Minato would have no Knowledge of this. Impossible to counter. It's really that simple.
we’re specifically shown Itachi deflecting kunai with other kunai as a child while training, and he makes them land in specific spots. Idk how much it’ll matter, but none of those kunai Minato throws is gonna go where he wants them to go. They’re gonna go where Itachi wants them to go. Itachi should have knowledge of FTG as well since Minato was famous for it.
I think the itachi statement about not being able to beat jiriya was only said because he’s a double agent for the leaf he’s not going to want to kill one of its strongest protectors. Knowing what kisame was capable of along side itachi to think that statement meant anything is crazy
1v2 they can kill him but Jiraya would have likely cause a distraction and retreated with naruto as it would be in character to do so. 1v1 he can clap either of them.
@@AjPounders Well, he has exactly the same overall score in the data books as Itachi so at the very least Kishimoto seems to think they are quite close.
I don't even think burning Minato kunai will matter at all honestly for 2 reasons. 1. Minato doesn't have to touch the kunai he just teleports to the general area 2. Minato is a master at sealing jutsu and uses his kunai seals for sealing as well so he would just seal the fire away
@@CWTempest it does for Minato and it doesn't have to be quick the point is itachi would have wasted a considerable amount of chakra for nothing which immediately tilts and already tilted fight in Minatos favor. Either Minato can still teleport to those kunai bc he doesn't have to touch them or he or a shadow clone can seal the flames and it's like it never happened
Itachi is kind of an outlier. It's why a battle with him is hard to call. Nobody alive wielded genjutsu like he did. He had solid stats, but can get dwarfed by many people in given areas but then theres the question of the genjutsu. He also has other methods of trickery, simply because even Kakashi's 3T Sharingan could not read his hand signs. This means an opponent wouldn't even know what jutsu Itachi was planning to use. (You could argue for Sasuke and Madara, being superior to Kakashi in sharingan use.) opponents whom were high kage level like Kakuzu were read like a book by Kakashi, so this is actually a ridiculous feat by Itachi people NEVER mention. And his speed wasn't lacking either, he aint on Minato's level but he's no slug, Sasuke was incredibly fast, as was KCM Naruto and Sage Kabuto. Minato's movements would likely still get read. And if it's a teleporting move Itachi's body can't react to we've seen Sasuke counter with Susanoo before. I can't see Minato having the physical prowess to just bust it with no prep time. Susanoo's activation time is a feat nobody ever mentions either, because it's activated with the eyes, not the body or a seal. I see the fight going one of two ways, Itachi catches Minato, either off a blitz attempt by him or managing to bait Minato into a genjutsu. OR Minato baits Itachi into wasting his chakra. Which honestly he could do given his speed, if Itachi uses his stamina up on a Susanoo activation or his other MS abilities he could be killed quickly by Minato.
You're forgetting that Part 1 Kakashi is massively weaker than even Beginning of Shippuden Kakashi... Not to mention that version of Kakashi was still able to react accordingly to Itachi's handsign feat. In all honesty, It's not that crazy of a feat post mid-Shippuden.
@@nirjhar4803 Uh what? His 3T didn't get any stronger, literally at all, He gained an MS ability. That's it. Also fake Itachi means literally nothing. I'd argue his eyes were even better back than before he started spamming Kamui's, so no offense but this reply makes zero sense. And it's an insane feat. That means every non-uchiha cannot read his seals. At all. Zero. Not Hashirama. Not Minato. Nobody. No sharingan? You aint reading them. A Hygua could probably see the jutsu coming from the chakra flow, but not which jutsu it is. It would be a guess. Aint replying to any more comments, yall are stuck on DBZ power scaling, not using logic at all .
I think it's not a stretch to say that we already know (or at the very least can say with a high probability) what the outcome of Minato vs Itachi is by proxy of Tobirama vs Izuna. That fight, though mostly offscreen, already serves as a basic blueprint for a Minato vs Itachi fight. Although Tobirama and Izuna aren't the exact same fighters as Minato and Itachi, the point is that one is a teleporter and the other a high level Mangekyou Sharingan user. Tobirama beat Izuna, who was equal to Madara at the time, thanks to FTG. In Itachi's case I think Minato is too much of a hard counter for him. It's akin to Blastoise vs Charizard. One thing to note, having mastery of FTG on the level of Minato makes taijutsu suddenly significantly less viable for the opponent. Seeing that all it takes is a simple touch to slap a FTG mark, it means that engaging the FTG user (in this case Minato) direct is an immediate death sentence. Despite Itachi's own words "every jutsu has a weaknesss", that specific application of FTG as shown by Minato and even Tobirama is so broken to the point that it has never been countered by anyone in the manga. Not even six path characters, as evidenced with Obito once he got tagged after becoming the ten tails host. And in Minato's case, as shown in his fight with Obito, he can one-tap seal abilities away. Though granted, we haven't seen him seal off things like chakra network or something but it wouldn't be too far fetched to believe he could seal away abilities given his Obito fight plus his Uzumaki level sealing skills and knowledge. I just can't see Itachi fighting Minato hand to hand. Not because he's a bad fighter but because it's just too much of a risk. The only reason Obito went for a direct approach was because of his Kamui. For Itachi to win this fight he'd have to stay at a distance, immediately go into Susano, pull out the spirit sword and go for a seal. But then Minato will do the FTG portal thing he used against the Nine and Ten Tails when they fired their bijuu bomb so... 😕
My question to the taijutsu aspect then is, how does Minato comfortably use hand to hand whilst simultaneously avoiding the gaze of Itachi’s sharingan? Sure you can bring up the sage mode argument but realistically speaking, will he use it in character?
@@cboy-ou2hr Same, even raw strength aside, he simply hard counters Itachi on pretty much everything given the type of fighters they are and their particular skillset.
@@remington_acr1651 There are several ways for him to avoid that. One way being using shadow clones. Even if a shadow clone looked Itachi in the eye while up close during hand to hand combat, that already is dangerous for Itachi right there because all the clone needs to do is just touch him, which would in fact be happening during hand to hand (just think of things like parrying punches). Plus, genjutsu won’t affect the clone. Something that's interesting to think about is that towards the end of the story in the anime (yes I know, the anime just bear with me for a sec) the leaf had Sasuke in jail with a seal on his eyes to prevent him from using his sharingan and rinnegan. Who's to say that Minato wouldn't know of a seal like that himself which he also could use tactically during a 1v1 fight, especially considering that he's arguably the most skilled sealing jutsu user we've seen in the verse. Not to mention that in the Obito fight he thought it was Madara and even though Madara hasn't been known for his genjutsu power per say, any high level sharingan user like him is threathening with genjutsu. Yet despite that Minato felt comfortable to engage Obito direct, up close face to face before teleporting with the rasengan combo. Actually now that I’m writing it, given that Itachi’s particular skillset also revolves around instant wins, his fight with Minato would pretty much be a carbon copy of the Obito fight because the conditions are the same. Either Itachi lands Tsukuyomi first or Minato gets the kill first. Like how Minato said in the Obito fight “it comes down to speed, whoever strikes first wins”. And Minato outclasses Itachi in speed. None of this however means that it’s impossible for Itachi to actually pull off a win. Minato just happens to be a bad matchup for him and would win most of, if not all the time.
@@jakesully007 one aspect people fail to mention not to say that itachi himself doesn’t possess extreme intelligence but minato is a genius do you honestly think he will engage with an opponent especially someone from the uchiha clan without studying them and their jutsu first to gain the upper hand
Well, it seems that you don't know anything about Itachi's scaling, if you make an effort to look or to rewatch at all of his encounters, you will find out that he was always one step above anyone else, he didn't go all out against anyone during the series, his potential remain unknown, Itachi it's in the same league as Minato boy, so stop underestimate a shinobi unpredictable such as Itachi. 1. (Tsukuyomi) The best trick a magician could pull off was one even the audience could not be aware of until the very last minute. Illusions are a weapon of choice for many ninjas in the Shinobi world. But no one could master it the way Itachi Uchiha had. Even without his Sharingan, Itachi could create illusions that seemed extremely life-like and real. True to his pacifist self, Itachi mainly uses Genjutsu in combat to neutralize his opponents without even raising a finger. When combined with the superior illusionary techniques of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Itachi gains the ultimate Genjutsu ability - Tsukuyomi. Via Tsukuyomi, Itachi can affect the enemy’s perception of time, torturing him for days in a make believe world while in the real world, it would just be a matter of seconds. While both Minato and Itachi have a superhuman battle sense and strategic mindset, Itachi has a severe advantage in this field. It is mainly because of his Sharingan. His Kekkei Genkai amplifies his analytical thinking in battle. Able to quickly find out the flaws in opponents’ plans and striking back at their weakest links with the least possible effort is somewhat of a forte of Itachi Uchiha. While Minato is just as proficient in this field, the Uchiha prodigy scores better also due to the fact that he blossomed at a very young age compared to even Minato. Itachi was 3 years younger to Minato when he passed the Chunin Exams. By the tender age of 7, his power levels were considered to be just as high as any Kage. Itachi’s quick reaction time is the stuff of legends. The technique of Kirin, considered to be the fastest lightning based Jutsu in existence, is arguably hundreds of times faster than the speed of sound itself. The only person who has proven to be quick enough to dodge it is Itachi Uchiha. From performing hand signs even Sasuke and Kakashi could not follow through with their Sharingan to countering Killer Bee’s eight sword style, Itachi’s superhuman reflexes are extraordinarily gifted, even by Uchiha standards. This gives him quite an edge against Minato, who likes attacking opponents from their blind spots. 🤷🏻♂️☯️
Itachi take this, there is not 1 characters without Genjutsu resistance or kekei ge Kai who can defeat Itachi, except for Guy maybe if he goes straight to the 8th gate
he already did exactly that. he purposely got hit with Kagatsuchi empowered with Futon RasenShuriken and when he teleports, none of the flames were teleported alongside him.
@@debrachambers1304 agreed. the reason Kamui is better than Hiraishin is because of its' versatility in usage but in the aspects of teleporting from Point A to Point B, Hiraishin is faster because the only time a Hiraishin user was ever hit by an attack during teleporting using Hiraishin is when Minato was hit by Obito that had just gained control of the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki. so Itachi needs a Rinnegan + Ten Tails to hit Minato. Kamui teleports faster when both Kamui Mangekyou is used in sync.
@@CNDFunding Coz terminally ill Itachi has never had a "Flee on sight" instruction about him, nor has he ever won an entire NINJA WAR by himself. Itachi can't put Minato in a Genjustu nor is he fast enough to even touch him. So In conclusion, if sick Itachi wasn't a problem for base Sharingan Sasuke, neither would he be a problem for Minato (coz even healthy Itachi gets destroyed by Lord 4th).🤷🏼♂️
Hot take. Minato can teleport the susanoo. Its just chakra. No different than a biju bomb. Hed have to activate it again which would drain his stamina like hell. Minato can also just ftg spam until itachi drains himself if he does this.
the susanoo is not just chakra. its stated to be an ethereal chakra, like a spirit body representing the emotions of the user. sasukes v3 susanoo and the literal embodiment of his hatred that other people see when they look at his chakra are identical, its like a metaphysical representation of their emotions
It is chakra but that chakra is attached to the user, you can’t just say he’ll teleport if the same way. If anything it would just also teleport Itachi
@AidenB1010 it's still just chakra. Theyre not attached to it. Sasuke has been knocked out of his, tsunade busted the rib cage, garaa pulled madara out of it. So yeah. It can be teleported
@FreeJalen Minato just has no answer to Tsukuyomi and all it requires is eye contact. Unless Minato has trained to fight without looking at an opponent's eyes and knows that he'll be fighting an Uchiha, Itachi would just one-shot
Yup shisui is a different animal, he was also a jounin at age fucking 11 like wtf 😮 To bad he had to die early, he would’ve been a good vessel for madara’s plans. He has crazy potential too bad we didn’t see much of him. He was also viewed as stronger than fugaku who was a 4th hokage candidate making him have similar hype to Minato in the village
2:30 “it’s just minato being dumb” dawg hes the smartest man in ninja world but you are speculating he forgot the strongest clan that reports directly to him and are only good at one thing (outside the top tiers of the clan) Genjutsu. He also thought he was madara based on feats and skill BECAUSE he was analyzing him. He didn’t forget, he was confident. It takes more supposition to assume he was being dumb than it does to assert he was confident.
also the reason why minato dosen't use a bunch of clones is because he is way more of a sealing type ninja, all those sealing jutsus of his use a crap ton of chakra, same with flying rajin. naruto is the clone spammer.
Nah, saying the Ay being not inferior statement(in speed) to minato was useless in this video was crazy, If a young bee could counter him, and a weaker sasuke from early 5KS can react to someone like ay.. it just shows itachi has no issues countering minato
The only way I see Itachi winning is if he casts Tsukuyomi as soon as the fight starts. Obito tried taking Minato out immediately so maybe Itachi would do the same, especially if (in this situation) he is in control of Kurama and doesn't want a lengthy battle. If Tsukuyomi doesn't hit, Itachi is getting put in a pack and getting smoked
i just like the headcannon that the reason itachi told kisame that they couldnt beat jiriya, was because itachi was the one feeding jiriya intel and they needed to keep their relationship secret
I like that one too, though my personal headcanon is that he meant that shit and really didn't want the smoke not only for plot reasons, but because Jiraya boy can indeed run his pockets.
Minato is considered the smartest person in the show (before Boruto existed) and has one of the highest battle IQ’s. Assuming he’s not savvy to fighting ocular dojutsu is wild, especially considering he was alive at the peak of the uchiha clan.
I am fairly certain itachi should know how FTG works as he knows about most justus ,if minato comes to close he would get sealed away with the totsuka, he has been shown to be also reckless like with bee ,madara and obito ,also is a rasengan bypassing a Susano?and at that one with a yata mirror ? to me is no , for me it could go eitherway based on who is careless
Well, Obito had arguably the single most broken jutsu ever in the form of Kamui, was Minato's student, knew the FTG and still got straight up outclassed. The 4th Raikage knew about FTG and still couldn't beat it. These are two incredibly high level shinobi who got outclassed in one move. As for some of the points you mentioned, these are what are most likely given what we know of the story and the fighters: For Totsuka blade: FTG Guiding Thunder. The totsuka gets redirected back at Itachi. For Susano: A direct rasengan isn't likely here. At best tried once and then dropped after noticing Susano defense. The play would be to either separate Itachi from Susano (like how the alliance did with Madara in the war) or some form of sealing/power limiting. For example using Guiding Thunder to open and close portals and chopping off Susano limbs. Could Itachi regrow them? Of course, at the expense of chakra and then back in circles. Summoning jutsu might also come into play as Susano is big. Yata Mirror: As far as we know can't be cracked. So at best only one attempt would be done there and then disregarded as an actual target. If Itachi has to rely on this to stay in the fight it would mean he can defend only and only for so long... Minato just isn't a good matchup for Itachi. This almost makes it seem like Itachi gets stomped because he is completely inferior to Minato when it's more a case like Blastoise vs Charizard in Pokemon. Can Charizard pull off a win? Yes but 9/10 (if not 10/10) Blastoise wins.
Actually, both Minato and Itatchi are dead in 2024, therefore they cannot fight each other.

Imagine how annoying it must be to fight against Itachi. Like his mere presence is enough to put most people on a full on acid trip and once you break out of it and start to develop counterplay, youre probably in another genjutsu. And everything you know about him is lies on top of lies. You can never trust anything you know or sense once Itachi comes around and its a huge deal because power isnt everything and getting into your opponent's head wins the battle time and time again. At some point you just have to think "nah im not fking with that"
Like even if you could kill Itachi it probably isnt worth the risk and trouble. Even Obito with the most broken hacks ever would rather just wait and let Itachi die before going against his will

Great vid but damn, looking at all these kishimoto panels has me missing steady naruto chapters, his art is definitely unique.
It’s refreshing cause we got adjusted to the wack Boruto art class of style compared to kishimotos fresh clean long strokes of the pen
Including the newest light novel minato absolutely folds, puts in a drawer and then lights it all on fire
Damn what he do?
@mrprotoman154 so in the one shot. Kurama starts to take over Kushina (this would've been teen minato more than likely.) His stomach was literally pierced open with a massive hole and was poisoned by kuramas Chakra (as we know a small amount poisoned Sakura so bad she passed out.) Yet minato got hit hard with it, despite that he projected himself into Kushina and with his rasengan, that he JUST learned, he clashed with a full 9 tails Bijuu bomb.) Kurama was being partially restrained by Kushina to be fair, but the one shot says directly that her chains grow more powerful the older she gets, so they were vastly weaker than what we know she can do later on. And what we do know is by the end of the battle, Minato had defeated and solidified the seal on kurama. Kurama in multiple translations also straight up says, a shinobi of the same caliber as Hashirama still exists? We don't know what he means with this, but kurama hypes up Minato HARD, then questions why someone so powerful would defend Kushina. Further hyping him up. We also get direct confirmation that Kushina teaches minato all the Uzumaki sealing abilities
@@mrprotoman154nothing that matters fr
That didn’t happen in the physical real world. A kid Itachi would stomp kid Minato based on feats alone.
@remington_acr1651 that's like saying sage Naruto vs Kurama is irrelevant. When we know it isn't, it's viable for scaling. In fact sage Naruto vs Kurama was a huge plot point for both story and scaling of Naruto with/without Kuramas chakra. So Kurama vs Minato is straight up usable unless you're intentionally ignoring Shippuden.

Look who I found the goat
I just got off work so 🤷🏾♂️
Time zones
I love minato, he’s my favorite character and I think under most circumstances he wins against most people because of how good he is with the teleportation. The problem with fighting Itachi is that his genjutu is so busted that simply looking in his eyes is basically a death sentence. However there’s two scenarios where Minato wins. One is if he sneaks around without looking into his eyes. And two, we saw in the war he is capable of using toad sage mode, which offers resistance (but not complete immunity) to genjutsu. Of course this would mean he would have to go into the fight being in sage mode. I hate to say it cause Minato is my favorite, but 9/10 times Itachi wins.
10:05 i dont see why amaterasu is the first point of contension against minatos shuriken when itachi is one of the most impresive shurikenjutsu users in the series, he looks way more impresive with shurikenjutsu than minato and even lowballing this to just on par this would mean that minato wont be landing any kunai near itachi and theres also a very high chance itachi redirects minatos defensive shuriken with his own.
Exactly itachi can shut down flying rajin with his shuriken jutsu
@@jamaulwinston490This thought is delusional. Minato can teleport wherever he wants to, he just use the shuriken to "DIRECTLY" teleport to the target. In other words he can teleport wherever he wants but it helps him to get behind the target he wants while conserving energy. Not that he can't just go there.
After he was revived he just teleported to the battlefield without any shurikens, it's just more precision. Also Minato can go to whichever mark he wants so it's not random.
The Sharingan sees through all.
@@neos5432 exactly. Itachi uses 20 shurikens at the same time with closed eyes while Minato uses like 6 with open eyes
Minato is a sensory ninja. Sensory ninja can sense disturbances in chakra. Karin says “Genjutsu? No, I don’t sense a disturbance in chakra”
A weak genjutsu is easy to break, tough to detect. A strong genjutsu is tough to break, easy to detect.
It’s hard to come to a conclusion when it’s itachi casting it, and minato breaking it. Ones like the best genjutsu user and the other has great sensory, chakra amount, and chakra control.
@@spit-fireI wonder how good Hashirama genjutsu resistance is since he fought madara all the time and there was no implication he got genjutsued
The thing is, genjutsu, especially of Itachi’s caliber can theoretically alter all of your senses simultaneously. Minato may think his chakra is perfectly fine all the while he’s actually being affected by the genjutsu.
@@remington_acr1651 yeah probably. Even though I haven’t seen any evidence to suggest his genjutsu alters your senses, I also haven’t seen anything that says they can’t alter them either.
@@remington_acr1651 true to an extent , but Itachi will still require a small time window to get control over the senses of the person he is casting it on, Minato being fast and a high level sensory ninja will detect it immediately and will try breaking it immediately, so it won't get to a point of Itachi altering his senses
This is a crazy fight because both of them are crazy difficult to hit and if they hit you it’s over! Their offence and defence and intelligence are off the charts.

watching bro make this video really put into perspective how efficient this man is. So much respect to my glorious king

Six coming to the conclusion about genjutsu, the nine tails and minato really impressed me. Ofc he couldn’t also get minto under while he has Kurama. Very impressed
I have a question. What if Sasori *actually* meets Kabuto in the Tenchi Bridge? So Orochimaru will still jump Sasori and destroy Hiruko. Can Orochimaru (now is sick, cannot use any ninjutsu, and weakened) and Kabuto defeat Sasori? Or if Sasori brought Deidara as a backup, are Orochimaru and Kabuto cooked?
Deidara does change the playing field. He's pretty versatile
@@kodoqbesar4301 orochimaru is still very capable. Bro was equally fighting 4 tails Naruto and even stabbed and pushed him back.

Sakura and chiyo would’ve been dead in the first couple minutes without their antidote that they made before hand
Sasori slams Kabuto and Magic Johnson Orochimaru on their heads very badly on his own. Let alone with Deidara.

1) take Itachi’s body
2) kill Hiruzen without anything going wrong
3) kill blind Itachi
4) take Sasuke’s body
5) kill Tsunade
He might have the most misplaced confidence in the entire series.

I think this video was well done and it’s no coincidence that the two most glazed character stack pretty well against eachother it just makes sense. Honestly tho I was disappointed that minato didn’t have more to his ability since most of the OG series made the fourth hokage out to be the greatest ninja of all time. Then we learn that minato was probably closer to third strongest hokage (not even top three shinibi) and undoubtedly second to hashirama.
already watched you make this vid on stream but fuck it i’ll watch it again
I have missed the naruto videos, I haven’t watched the JJK ones cuz of spoilers but now the naruto boss is back
I don't think the kunai amaterasu is a viable win con. Minato almost never teleports making direct contact with his kunai. He can and usually does teleport a decent distance away from it
the amaterasu spreads far more than a few inches so it wouldnt really be an issue
Not true
W video Six just as good as the rest. Tho this is definitely one of my favorites based on the matchup alone. These two are in my top 3 favorite Naruto Characters.
Since Minato was in this video, this actually reminds me of an older Swagkage video of Minato (alive and base) vs the Third Raikage. Is this the "too fast vs too durable" fight or is this fight worth talking about?
not worth talking about
the third raikage scales below Hiruzen who scales to the Sannin who are inferior to Minato

Saying Bees mutual strike was premeditated is generous. Also having one of Minatos win con being just to touch him is also generous considering Bee counter acted this that would give them both a loss or a tie.
six, after minatos one shot came out, what are your thoughts on minato just outright blowing apart itachis susonoo with a rasengan, maybe even enhance with senjutsu
I think it would go crazy to watch Minato set up his kunai, only for itachi to throw his own kunai to change their trajectory and landing spots
Itachi is the most suitable person to counter Minato as the Flying Raijin works by placing a seal over a kunai to be thrown and then teleporting to where the kunai was thrown. From the beginning we have always been shown Itachi training with the kunai and being so strong that he can throw the kunai and immediately after, hit the same kunai thrown a second earlier with other kunai and hit all the targets and all this with his eyes closed. Kabuto himself in the battle against Nagato states "I thought that the greater field of vision provided by the rinnegan summons would be enough but Itachi is so good with the kunai that he manages to find a blind spot to use to hit the targets. He is actually too strong." To counter flying Raijin it would be enough to do what he has always done, that is, deflect the thrown kunai. And this is a very probable scenario as the power of the flying Raijin itself also depends on the user's ability to throw the kunai as the weapon mainly used for it. Itachi, being certainly with evidence and statements the best in this, he would have no problem deflecting the kunai thrown by Minato. In some battles, Minato throws kunai scattered across the battlefield to create a favorable scenario for the use of the flying Raijin. To counter this, Itachi could use amaterasu to make the points where the kunai are stuck unusable. minato is not immune to genjutsu and tsukuyomi and if he does what he's done in the fight against obito i.e. look his opponent in the eyes then it would be over for him. The only one who can fight without looking his opponent directly in the eyes is Guy, something Minato can't do. Furthermore, Itachi can create an illusion even just by pointing at you, or touching you, so it's not just the eye contact that matters. Minato’s speed is comparable to the high tiers of the Naruto verse only beacuse of flying Raijin but without it he’s not so fast and with his body flicker he’s slower than Shisui, who’s stated to be the best body flicker user and so better than minato without ftg. The same Itachi trained his all youth with Shisui and in the novel it is stated that while sparring Itachi won several times against Shisui even though Shisui won even more times than Itachi. So Itachi can perfectly deal with fast people (Shisui who has better body flicker than Minato) and win via statements and feats in the novel. The same Itachi was stated to be the pinnacle of his clan while not even awakening his mangekyo so he’s stated to be above Fugaku Who was a rival to Minato for the position of Hokage.
Then like I said Minato to kill his opponents uses mainly the flying Raijin with his kunai. Like he did against Obito or agianst Killer Bee and Ay. And that’s consistent since to kill someone Minato needs to teleport near him and the simplest way is to throw the kunai near the opponent and then teleport. So the flying Raijin techinque depends for the majority on the skills of the person in kunai and shuriken jutsu. Itachi is stated and shown through the entire manga to be the best user of kunai and to deflect kunai like it’s nothing with his eyes closed or to blitz Nagato’s summining’s vision with Kabuto admitting he’s the best. So Itachi can just deflect all of Minato’s kunai since he’s stated to be better than anyone in kunai and so better than Minato. Yeah minato can mark other things but it would be useless since the main victory factor comes from blitzing the opponent with his kunai. To assume that Minato can kill Itachi without his kunai we have to concede the fact that Minato has prep time and so an advantage. But we are talking about a fight where neither Minato or Itachi have an initial advantage. Like minato would not have any time to mark trees or other things. The only way that he could is that Itachi let him do so, but that would never happen. Then in the fight against killer bee, minato gets behind him but killer bee succeded in reacting to him by pointing at him his sword. So even though minato teleported behind him, killer bee was still able to react to him and he didn’t got blitzed. That shows that if minato teleports behind or near Itachi, he can react to him like Killer bee did cause itachi has better speed and reaction speed than Killer bee. Without a doubt he can react to minato the same way bee did. So Itachi could counter the ftg with his kunai mastery and then he could also react to minato thanks to his reaction speed being superior to that of Killer bee. Then if Minato’s throw Kunais in several locations in the battlefield, Itachi can just set on fire some of those locations with his amaterasu making Minato unable to teleport to those points. Then the Ems Sasuke being above Itachi is contradicted by the Kabuto fight where Itachi showed in every aspect better feats than Sasuke. He was holding back to protect him the whole fight, guiding him and while also preparing the stages for the activation of izanami. Than Itachi in the databook statement says that he recognize Sasuke as his equal but that could just mean that he doesn’t see him like the little brother who needs protection but instead a skilled ninja like him who can cooperate and help him, more like a status thing. It’s also stated that with ems, Sasuke techniques and eye techiniques surpassed his own brother. For the eye techinque is referring to basic sharingan an mangekyo genjutsu but not to tsukuyomi who’s stated to be the strongest genjutsu by zetsu then for techinques we have taijutsu and ninjutsu. So Sasuke surpasses Itachi only in these aspectes and not in speed, battle iq, intelligence, tsukuyomi ecc…And especcially by feats in the Kabuto fight itachi is shown superior in combat than ems Sasuke, Itachi was shown more faster, reacting better to kabuto’s attacks, protecing Sasuke, telling him what to do, and all of that while suppressing his power and while preparing all the stages for the activation of izanami. So yeah ITACHI WINS.
I aint reading all that...
what's itachi doing against body flicker?
I’m glad to see some diversity of opinion in the comments
Six wants to be known as Seven today
If Sasuke can remove Danzo’s seal during battle could Itachi remove the FR one tagged on to him by Minato?
The fact that itachi has the advantage in prep ALWAYS due to him being younger and definitely studied on things like sage mode and FTG
Plus the fact that his basic genjutsu is not just insanely strong but hard to trace
And coupled with the fact that its WAAAY easier for itachi to use genjutsu before minato flicks his wrist to start teleporting
Makes this an advantage to itachi everytime
It's hard to trace from Weaker sensory ninja. Guy, Jiraiya, Minato ,hashirama Tobirama, Hiruzen have looked into a uchias eyes, there's nothing special about genjutsu once it reaches its match.

@@Rayden444he’s coping
Lets be real it's most likely that itachi would win because of genjutsu or his susanoo. Itachi can keep up with kcm naruto with no issue so minato is not speed blitzing him without the flying rajin and even still it's been shown that itachi cast his genjutsu without warning or build up so its very likely that minato wont even see it coming.
Even then itachi was able to react to kirin and put up his susanoo AFTER sasuke had already fired it off. Then itachi has the touska blade which is an immediate one tap plus the yata mirrior which deflects all physical attacks. Itachi has way more win conditions than minato, if minato can't outspeed itachi and fight drags on then itachi will have more and more chances to hit him with either the touska blade or tsukuyomi.
And if minato uses his shadow clones itachi would just use his susanoo to not get overwhelmed and gamabunta is not breaking through the yata mirror and gets one tapped by the tousuka blade. Itachi has wayy more winning options than minato's speed blitz rasengan combo.
@@antoneopitts2212 if the fight drags on the only one with an advantage would be minato since itachis stamina and chakra reserves while alive are trash, the susano really has no deciding factor here since minato can easily out speed it and easily outlast it, as for the edo itachi and kcm Naruto fight, it was a weaker version of kcm than the one that outsped the raikage so he wouldn’t be as fast and 2 its clearly depicted in the fight that Naruto isn’t going all out as he’s confused as to why itachi is attacking him since they were comrades the last time they met Naruto is also trying to have a conversation with itachi, if you’re being realistic and unbiased just like the video suggest the fight comes down to if itachi can put minato under a genjutsu since that’s his only win con. If he fails then he loses. Truly a 50-50 fight with a more likely outcome of minato winning since he has better speed,ap,iq,biq,stamina,and chakra reserves.
Itachi the type of guy to put you under genjutsu and make you think you aren't under genjutsu
The only wincon Itachi has is Tsukuyomi, a Genjutsu that holds up in power throughout the series. Guiding thunder completely negates the Susano’o, Amaterasu, fire style, etc. Minato can easily one shot Itachi with simple kunai slashes, since the raikage felt threatened by them even with the lighting shroud, the same Jutsu that protected the Third Raikage from a war arc rasenshuriken.
All in all Minato likely speed blitzes and cuts Itachi in half
Then minato will just going to deal with itachi's unlimited substitution crows. Keep him stabbing birds lmao.

This encounter could go either way. Both of them can win against each other because of their unpredictability in their way of fighting style approach. In my opinion Itachi is one of the most Unique, Authentic and Influential characters from the series. The thing that people underestimate about Itachi fights/encounters, isn't just his power, (it's mainly writters or Kishimoto's fault for making Itachi seem or to look very powerful throughout the series) but how smart and intelligent he is during various situations, he never, ever underestimates his opponents because of his composure and his way of being, the level of thinking he's on honestly dwars most people in the series, with only people like Minato and Shikaku comparable with him. More precisly, Itachi isn't just any ordinary Shinobi also, he pretty much knows and he's also aware that all strong opponents have weaknesses (including himself), and he specializes in finding those "weaknesses" and exploiting them ("*Even the strongest of opponents always has a weakness*" - Uchiha Itachi) because he's that type of character who can exceed almost any expectations. Itachi is very unique and authentic, especially in the factor of facing various encounters approach, his unpredictability in his way of fighting style approach it's his key factor in all of his encounters. Being blind or nearly blind has never slowed him down (especially when he's pretty much serious, but that's the point, he has never go all out against anyone during the series.) Itachi it's that type of character who can exceed almost any expectations. (at least that's what we were shown in the anime by the creator Masashi Kishimoto). Moral of the story, never underestimate Itachi. He did more sick than most healthy ninjas do in their entire life. In my opinion No One should underestimate such an unpredictable Shinobi like Itachi, even Madara (I won't say that Itachi can beat him, but at least he will be pretty much able to put a decent fight that Madara will also be impressed in my opinion). Also how can some of you guys even consider that Totsuka Blade it's slow when no such speed feat has been shown through the Shippuden that state it that it is slow? All of you are assuming it to be slow it may not be the case... Its not that the sword is unavoidable but it clearly has a very long range and is a very long blade. If you look at the manga, Naruto, Bee and Itachi are all relatively small from Nagato's point of view, and you can see the Totsuka Blade extending all the way from Itachi, piercing through Nagato, and still managing to nearly pop out toward the reader out of the page. I would say its fast because Kabuto coudldn't even react to it, and its not like Nagato was completely immobile to the point that he couldn't sidestep the blade. Also, Kabuto controlling people from far away is never stated to inhibit the Edos' reaction speed in any way. Being controlled by someone thousands of miles away didn't stop the Third Raikage from dodging KCM Naruto's Rasenshuriken. And as for Orochimaru, the sword struck him in between syllables of a word during his speech. I think that that is pretty fast. Pair the Totuska Blade with a good feint and its lethal because its ethereal, meaning it can pierce through any object. If the sword didn't live up to its reputation then Orochimaru wouldn't seek it out. People need to stop downplaying Itachi and denying the very clear speed feats of Totsuka. There is no room for interpretations here. The advantage of being an Uchiha, especially for Itachi and Madara, is that during an encounter against them, they always have a counter because of their unpredictable way of fighting factor, they don't run out of options or techniques, they almost always have a counter in their arsenal, even forbidden jutsus seems irrellevant against them, only a few Uchihas know a certain way to approach the situation with a certain and effective technique, that's why is hard/difficult to fight against them in my opinion. ☯️ 🤷♂️ Here are the things that make Itachi so formidable. Tsukuyomi - A genjutsu so powerful that you literally can't escape it unless you have the same blood as Itachi, as stated by Itachi himself and proven later by Sasuke, or you're a jinchuriki. Jinchuriki are supposed to be immune to genjutsu but it hasn't been proven, but when Bee was fighting Edo Nagato and Itachi with Naruto, he said to watch out for Tsukuyomi explicitly. Literally 99% of all opponents fighting Itachi have no way of stopping Tsukuyomi. You could have the power to split the planet in half and it wouldn't matter. (Want to know why? - Kakashi pretty much state it in the actual anime and manga that Tsukuyomi it's such a dangerous Genjutsu Technique because it happen in a instant, even if you realize that you are trapped in the Tsukuyomi, it will be too late, because Itachi could approach you during that time in the real world (or he can use an Explosive Clone to approach you without you even realizing it in time and he can pretty much finish you before you can even realize, - 72 hours in Tsukuyomi realm means 1 second or a couple of seconds in the real world. Tsukuyomi can't be broken, when used to it's fullest.) The Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror - The Susanoo itself is a near invincible defense but these two weapons take it to the next step. The Sword of Totsuka can seal "anything" if it even touches it. It's completely OP. It's hard to fight a guy that can seal you away if his sword even touches you. The Yata Mirror is even a bigger deal in my opinion. It doesn't block attacks, it's "negates" them. You could throw an Amaterasu covered Bijuu bomb at Itachi and the Yata mirror will negate it, making it so the Susanoo doesn't even need to take a blow. You could punch the Yata mirror and the force will completely be negated. His biggest strength of all: tactical intelligence - Itachi always outsmarts and plans for everything because the plot demands it. You're physically strong? Itachi is already 2 steps ahead of you knowing exactly what to do. You're extremely fast? Again, 2 steps. You're going to try and outlast Itachi in a fight? Good luck. To add to this, some of the 3 most powerful techniques in the verse are due to his intelligence and planning ability; Izanami, Izanagi, and Kotoamatsukami. Izanami - A forbbiden genjutsu technique that allows you to alter someone's destiny. Impossible to break out of even if you know you're in a genjutsu without complying with the users set destiny for you. Even someone like Bee, a perfect Jinchuriki, can't escape Izanami unless he does what Itachi wants him to. Izanagi - You somehow gained an advantage over Itachi? He makes it so that advantage never happened. Kotoamatsukami - Though Shisui's technique, Itachi has his eye which effectively makes it his weapon. A genjutsu so powerful that the person it's cast on doesn't even know they're under a genjutsu. Like the Tsukuyomi, completely OP. To add to all of this, Itachi is pretty good at hand to hand combat, is great with shuriken, is extremely fast, is great with regular fire techniques, is slippery and unpredictable, and has the extremely dangerous and fast Genjutsu style of fighting approach that can caught you off guard almost at any time. With all of these things considered you've got one dangerous ninja. Lastly but not least Kishimoto made sure that Itachi was seen as someone special and he did an incredible job in establishing that in the story. When Itachi Uchiha awakened his Susano'o, he was seen wielding legendary weapons of the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror. The former allowed Itachi to seal anyone he pierced in a world of genjutsu forever, while the latter gave him the ability to deflect any and all attacks thrown towards him, regardless of whether they were physical or spiritual in nature. According to Zetsu (who was around since the period of Kaguya time era until the present of Naruto) he state it in the anime and also in the manga that these weapons, when combined with his Susano'o, made Itachi Invincible. This is why Kishimoto basically had to give him a handicap: Naruto AIDS. 🤷♂️ ☯️
I would say there's no such a thing as genjutsu resistance in Narutoverse
Everyone falls into genjutsu, but there are the ones who get out of it faster, there are those who are slower to get out and there are those who are unable to get out of a genjutsu.

“Itachi’s win cons rely on extreme generosity”
*says minato won’t look into itachi’s eyes even tho the one time he fought an uchiha he looked straight into their eyes*
I think it’s more likely that minato gets caught in some genjutsu than minato places a seal on him. Itachi in character starts out by fight with shadow or crow clones, and when he was actually trying in a fight (but not going all out) he started the fight with susanoo rib cage which would mean minato cannot touch him. Plus, itachi has one of the best biq (but so does minato) and would likely make sure to just get rid of minato’s kunai on the battlefield with some fire or water style jutsu. Also, what many don’t bring up, itachi likely knows about minato’s abilities since he was known to do much research on the leaf, including on powerful past shinobi like madara and hashirama, so it’s likely itachi has read about and knows about ftg and how minato uses it. Minato doesn’t have that same luxury since he died when itachi was like 5.
itachis susanoo is a nonfactor because of guiding thunder, a Jutsu capable of teleporting ten tails biju bombs

The in universe counter is dumb anyway, wtf does not looking I to their eyes achieve? If anything, you should have your eyes not visible at all to avoid it.

What's the name of the song in the beginning?
Itachi is known for putting people in genjutsu before fights even begin. Minato has no knowledge of Itachi (or very minimal). And based on past knowledge, Minato has been known to stare directly at a sharingan. At this point, it doesnt matter how OP Minato is. Hes already caught before the fight begins. Itachi could kill him with the genjutsu. Or he could kill him while hes in the genjutsu. Either way, this isnt as simple as "Who's stronger?" The question is who would win? Given everything I stated, Itachi quite literally no diffs Minato EVEN THOUGH Minato is stronger. Its really that simple.

@@SpeakHerMusic it doesn’t every sealing jutsu takes prep…
Tobirama to Minato from the Shadow Realm: “Let That Ninja Know!!!”
Itachi is kind of an outlier. It's why a battle with him is hard to call. Nobody alive wielded genjutsu like he did. He had solid stats, but can get dwarfed by many people in given areas but then theres the question of the genjutsu.
He also has other methods of trickery, simply because even Kakashi's 3T Sharingan could not read his hand signs. This means an opponent wouldn't even know what jutsu Itachi was planning to use. (You could argue for Sasuke and Madara, being superior to Kakashi in sharingan use.) opponents whom were high kage level like Kakuzu were read like a book by Kakashi, so this is actually a ridiculous feat by Itachi people NEVER mention.
And his speed wasn't lacking either, he aint on Minato's level but he's no slug, Sasuke was incredibly fast, as was KCM Naruto and Sage Kabuto. Minato's movements would likely still get read. And if it's a teleporting move Itachi's body can't react to we've seen Sasuke counter with Susanoo before. I can't see Minato having the physical prowess to just bust it with no prep time.
Susanoo's activation time is a feat nobody ever mentions either, because it's activated with the eyes, not the body or a seal.
I see the fight going one of two ways, Itachi catches Minato, either off a blitz attempt by him or managing to bait Minato into a genjutsu.
OR
Minato baits Itachi into wasting his chakra. Which honestly he could do given his speed, if Itachi uses his stamina up on a Susanoo activation or his other MS abilities he could be killed quickly by Minato.
Itachi and Sasuke are NOT relative to Sage Kabuto 😂
You're forgetting that Part 1 Kakashi is massively weaker than even Beginning of Shippuden Kakashi... Not to mention that version of Kakashi was still able to react accordingly to Itachi's handsign feat.
In all honesty, It's not that crazy of a feat post mid-Shippuden.

And it's an insane feat. That means every non-uchiha cannot read his seals. At all. Zero. Not Hashirama. Not Minato. Nobody. No sharingan? You aint reading them.

Aint replying to any more comments, yall are stuck on DBZ power scaling, not using logic at all .
Come on Six, answer the question the people really want to know, if Obito got his way who would've won between Naruto & Sasuke pre-war arc?
I think it's not a stretch to say that we already know (or at the very least can say with a high probability) what the outcome of Minato vs Itachi is by proxy of Tobirama vs Izuna. That fight, though mostly offscreen, already serves as a basic blueprint for a Minato vs Itachi fight. Although Tobirama and Izuna aren't the exact same fighters as Minato and Itachi, the point is that one is a teleporter and the other a high level Mangekyou Sharingan user. Tobirama beat Izuna, who was equal to Madara at the time, thanks to FTG. In Itachi's case I think Minato is too much of a hard counter for him. It's akin to Blastoise vs Charizard.
One thing to note, having mastery of FTG on the level of Minato makes taijutsu suddenly significantly less viable for the opponent. Seeing that all it takes is a simple touch to slap a FTG mark, it means that engaging the FTG user (in this case Minato) direct is an immediate death sentence. Despite Itachi's own words "every jutsu has a weaknesss", that specific application of FTG as shown by Minato and even Tobirama is so broken to the point that it has never been countered by anyone in the manga. Not even six path characters, as evidenced with Obito once he got tagged after becoming the ten tails host.
And in Minato's case, as shown in his fight with Obito, he can one-tap seal abilities away. Though granted, we haven't seen him seal off things like chakra network or something but it wouldn't be too far fetched to believe he could seal away abilities given his Obito fight plus his Uzumaki level sealing skills and knowledge.
I just can't see Itachi fighting Minato hand to hand. Not because he's a bad fighter but because it's just too much of a risk. The only reason Obito went for a direct approach was because of his Kamui.
For Itachi to win this fight he'd have to stay at a distance, immediately go into Susano, pull out the spirit sword and go for a seal. But then Minato will do the FTG portal thing he used against the Nine and Ten Tails when they fired their bijuu bomb so... 😕
I honestly have my money on Minato
My question to the taijutsu aspect then is, how does Minato comfortably use hand to hand whilst simultaneously avoiding the gaze of Itachi’s sharingan? Sure you can bring up the sage mode argument but realistically speaking, will he use it in character?
@@cboy-ou2hr Same, even raw strength aside, he simply hard counters Itachi on pretty much everything given the type of fighters they are and their particular skillset.
@@remington_acr1651 There are several ways for him to avoid that. One way being using shadow clones. Even if a shadow clone looked Itachi in the eye while up close during hand to hand combat, that already is dangerous for Itachi right there because all the clone needs to do is just touch him, which would in fact be happening during hand to hand (just think of things like parrying punches). Plus, genjutsu won’t affect the clone.
Something that's interesting to think about is that towards the end of the story in the anime (yes I know, the anime just bear with me for a sec) the leaf had Sasuke in jail with a seal on his eyes to prevent him from using his sharingan and rinnegan. Who's to say that Minato wouldn't know of a seal like that himself which he also could use tactically during a 1v1 fight, especially considering that he's arguably the most skilled sealing jutsu user we've seen in the verse. Not to mention that in the Obito fight he thought it was Madara and even though Madara hasn't been known for his genjutsu power per say, any high level sharingan user like him is threathening with genjutsu. Yet despite that Minato felt comfortable to engage Obito direct, up close face to face before teleporting with the rasengan combo.
Actually now that I’m writing it, given that Itachi’s particular skillset also revolves around instant wins, his fight with Minato would pretty much be a carbon copy of the Obito fight because the conditions are the same. Either Itachi lands Tsukuyomi first or Minato gets the kill first. Like how Minato said in the Obito fight “it comes down to speed, whoever strikes first wins”. And Minato outclasses Itachi in speed.
None of this however means that it’s impossible for Itachi to actually pull off a win. Minato just happens to be a bad matchup for him and would win most of, if not all the time.
@@jakesully007 one aspect people fail to mention not to say that itachi himself doesn’t possess extreme intelligence but minato is a genius do you honestly think he will engage with an opponent especially someone from the uchiha clan without studying them and their jutsu first to gain the upper hand
Feels like I've already seen this video yesterday
Well, it seems that you don't know anything about Itachi's scaling, if you make an effort to look or to rewatch at all of his encounters, you will find out that he was always one step above anyone else, he didn't go all out against anyone during the series, his potential remain unknown, Itachi it's in the same league as Minato boy, so stop underestimate a shinobi unpredictable such as Itachi. 1. (Tsukuyomi) The best trick a magician could pull off was one even the audience could not be aware of until the very last minute. Illusions are a weapon of choice for many ninjas in the Shinobi world. But no one could master it the way Itachi Uchiha had. Even without his Sharingan, Itachi could create illusions that seemed extremely life-like and real. True to his pacifist self, Itachi mainly uses Genjutsu in combat to neutralize his opponents without even raising a finger. When combined with the superior illusionary techniques of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Itachi gains the ultimate Genjutsu ability - Tsukuyomi. Via Tsukuyomi, Itachi can affect the enemy’s perception of time, torturing him for days in a make believe world while in the real world, it would just be a matter of seconds. While both Minato and Itachi have a superhuman battle sense and strategic mindset, Itachi has a severe advantage in this field. It is mainly because of his Sharingan. His Kekkei Genkai amplifies his analytical thinking in battle. Able to quickly find out the flaws in opponents’ plans and striking back at their weakest links with the least possible effort is somewhat of a forte of Itachi Uchiha. While Minato is just as proficient in this field, the Uchiha prodigy scores better also due to the fact that he blossomed at a very young age compared to even Minato. Itachi was 3 years younger to Minato when he passed the Chunin Exams. By the tender age of 7, his power levels were considered to be just as high as any Kage. Itachi’s quick reaction time is the stuff of legends. The technique of Kirin, considered to be the fastest lightning based Jutsu in existence, is arguably hundreds of times faster than the speed of sound itself. The only person who has proven to be quick enough to dodge it is Itachi Uchiha. From performing hand signs even Sasuke and Kakashi could not follow through with their Sharingan to countering Killer Bee’s eight sword style, Itachi’s superhuman reflexes are extraordinarily gifted, even by Uchiha standards. This gives him quite an edge against Minato, who likes attacking opponents from their blind spots. 🤷🏻♂️☯️
Video 1/8 let’s go Six you got this, this month you’re locked in
Minato claps this shit no brainer dude
what music is this im so obsessed!!!!
I think it's from the Binding of Isaac rebirth 🤔 🎮 if my memory serves correct.
@@leolozano5558 ❤️❤️❤️
Death Note - Light’s Theme C
Itachi take this, there is not 1 characters without Genjutsu resistance or kekei ge Kai who can defeat Itachi, except for Guy maybe if he goes straight to the 8th gate
What is the background music that plays in your vids?
I searched the JJK soundtracks and couldn’t find this specific one.
I wonder if Minato could teleport himself without teleporting the amaterasu flames with him.
Obito couldn’t and his teleportation is better so how tf could Minato do it
@@thefinalantagonist Obito gets sucked into a hole, Minato instantaneously disappears and reappears. The different mechanics might make a difference.
he already did exactly that. he purposely got hit with Kagatsuchi empowered with Futon RasenShuriken and when he teleports, none of the flames were teleported alongside him.
@@debrachambers1304 agreed. the reason Kamui is better than Hiraishin is because of its' versatility in usage but in the aspects of teleporting from Point A to Point B, Hiraishin is faster because the only time a Hiraishin user was ever hit by an attack during teleporting using Hiraishin is when Minato was hit by Obito that had just gained control of the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki. so Itachi needs a Rinnegan + Ten Tails to hit Minato.
Kamui teleports faster when both Kamui Mangekyou is used in sync.
Itachi doesnt have to use susano or amaturasu .
He literally just times the perfect situation to make eye contact, then Tsukuyomi GG ?
This Itachi glazing has to stop man. Minato beats the breaks off of Itachi.
I can't lie Minato is god like, but Itachi has to be equal or better bro . I can't see him being out classed
@@Six_FiveMadaraAsk base Sharingan Sasuke how easy it is to do.🥱
Why should people stop glazing Itachi but you people glaze Minato ?
@@CNDFunding Coz terminally ill Itachi has never had a "Flee on sight" instruction about him, nor has he ever won an entire NINJA WAR by himself.
Itachi can't put Minato in a Genjustu nor is he fast enough to even touch him. So In conclusion, if sick Itachi wasn't a problem for base Sharingan Sasuke, neither would he be a problem for Minato (coz even healthy Itachi gets destroyed by Lord 4th).🤷🏼♂️
@@s.m.drecords238 look who you're comparing a ill itachi to a un-nerfed minato. You're really not making a case for minato
Yo what happened to Nagatos other renegan Obito took the one put it in his eye but what about the other?
He hides it and black zetsu finds it and gives it to madara
@@dean9261 forgot about that, thanks
Hot take. Minato can teleport the susanoo. Its just chakra. No different than a biju bomb. Hed have to activate it again which would drain his stamina like hell. Minato can also just ftg spam until itachi drains himself if he does this.
I’ve always thought this as well
the susanoo is not just chakra. its stated to be an ethereal chakra, like a spirit body representing the emotions of the user. sasukes v3 susanoo and the literal embodiment of his hatred that other people see when they look at his chakra are identical, its like a metaphysical representation of their emotions
It is chakra but that chakra is attached to the user, you can’t just say he’ll teleport if the same way. If anything it would just also teleport Itachi
@@Brightnessbeyondbelief the user is not attached to the susanoo. Gaara pulled madara out. So no
@AidenB1010 it's still just chakra. Theyre not attached to it. Sasuke has been knocked out of his, tsunade busted the rib cage, garaa pulled madara out of it. So yeah. It can be teleported
Can you do a sage naruto vs Kage summit?
This comes from the guy who thinks that minato beats hashirama, and fan base who
Thinks he’s kcm2. Lol
Itachi wins easily
Hell no
@@FreeJalen hell yeah
@@akiraman7664 maybe if minato had no arms and no legs. But even then I’d still pick minato
@@FreeJalen blind sick almost dead itachi would fuck him up
@FreeJalen Minato just has no answer to Tsukuyomi and all it requires is eye contact. Unless Minato has trained to fight without looking at an opponent's eyes and knows that he'll be fighting an Uchiha, Itachi would just one-shot
Shisui would do much better because he's a lot more skilled, smarter and stronger than itachi.
Shisui also has greater speed to match minato
Yup shisui is a different animal, he was also a jounin at age fucking 11 like wtf 😮
To bad he had to die early, he would’ve been a good vessel for madara’s plans. He has crazy potential too bad we didn’t see much of him. He was also viewed as stronger than fugaku who was a 4th hokage candidate making him have similar hype to Minato in the village
Depends on conditions of the fight, imo whoever sees the other first wins
Let’s go upload at 5 in the morning and I’m up to watch it
2:30 “it’s just minato being dumb” dawg hes the smartest man in ninja world but you are speculating he forgot the strongest clan that reports directly to him and are only good at one thing (outside the top tiers of the clan) Genjutsu. He also thought he was madara based on feats and skill BECAUSE he was analyzing him. He didn’t forget, he was confident. It takes more supposition to assume he was being dumb than it does to assert he was confident.
Take him from his blind spot? You sure you didn't mean from *behind*? 😂😂
Minatos problem is itachi’s genjutsu. If he even looks at his finger he’s done
also the reason why minato dosen't use a bunch of clones is because he is way more of a sealing type ninja, all those sealing jutsus of his use a crap ton of chakra, same with flying rajin. naruto is the clone spammer.
Nah, saying the Ay being not inferior statement(in speed) to minato was useless in this video was crazy,
If a young bee could counter him, and a weaker sasuke from early 5KS can react to someone like ay.. it just shows itachi has no issues countering minato
Bee didn't react to minato he knew minato would teleport their since he put a seal and prepared
@@Bell_Cat639 thats still a reaction because Minato could teleport to him at any time.
The only way I see Itachi winning is if he casts Tsukuyomi as soon as the fight starts. Obito tried taking Minato out immediately so maybe Itachi would do the same, especially if (in this situation) he is in control of Kurama and doesn't want a lengthy battle.
If Tsukuyomi doesn't hit, Itachi is getting put in a pack and getting smoked
i just like the headcannon that the reason itachi told kisame that they couldnt beat jiriya, was because itachi was the one feeding jiriya intel and they needed to keep their relationship secret
I like that one too, though my personal headcanon is that he meant that shit and really didn't want the smoke not only for plot reasons, but because Jiraya boy can indeed run his pockets.
Can you make a video on Haku
Minato is considered the smartest person in the show (before Boruto existed) and has one of the highest battle IQ’s. Assuming he’s not savvy to fighting ocular dojutsu is wild, especially considering he was alive at the peak of the uchiha clan.
I am fairly certain itachi should know how FTG works as he knows about most justus ,if minato comes to close he would get sealed away with the totsuka, he has been shown to be also reckless like with bee ,madara and obito ,also is a rasengan bypassing a Susano?and at that one with a yata mirror ? to me is no , for me it could go eitherway based on who is careless
Well, Obito had arguably the single most broken jutsu ever in the form of Kamui, was Minato's student, knew the FTG and still got straight up outclassed. The 4th Raikage knew about FTG and still couldn't beat it. These are two incredibly high level shinobi who got outclassed in one move.
As for some of the points you mentioned, these are what are most likely given what we know of the story and the fighters:
For Totsuka blade: FTG Guiding Thunder. The totsuka gets redirected back at Itachi.
For Susano: A direct rasengan isn't likely here. At best tried once and then dropped after noticing Susano defense. The play would be to either separate Itachi from Susano (like how the alliance did with Madara in the war) or some form of sealing/power limiting. For example using Guiding Thunder to open and close portals and chopping off Susano limbs. Could Itachi regrow them? Of course, at the expense of chakra and then back in circles. Summoning jutsu might also come into play as Susano is big.
Yata Mirror: As far as we know can't be cracked. So at best only one attempt would be done there and then disregarded as an actual target. If Itachi has to rely on this to stay in the fight it would mean he can defend only and only for so long...
Minato just isn't a good matchup for Itachi. This almost makes it seem like Itachi gets stomped because he is completely inferior to Minato when it's more a case like Blastoise vs Charizard in Pokemon. Can Charizard pull off a win? Yes but 9/10 (if not 10/10) Blastoise wins.
The most glazed character in history

The most glazed character of today
Love that big six is honest
Itachi stomps just the same as he always has. Prime Itachi that is. Unless we’re talking about kcm
I know six is gonna be truthful and say itll be a good fight. The #1 fight I'd pay to see kishi have animated
