Never compare Itachi and Minato.

[Joker]

~ Reason why Itachi and Minato should never be compared ~

---

Itachi's intelligence is dwarfed by the 4th Hokage who was a genius on the level that only comes once in a lifetime. His accomplishments speak for its self, he reverse engineered the Bijudama and created the rasengan, he was the 2nd Kage ever to create a time/space technique through fuinjutsu, Hiraishin was so fast that he could literally kill an opponent in the blink of an eye, and with kushina's help created a jutsu that was capable of summoning the death god.

What has Itachi accomplished? Itachi was really good he sped through the ranks faster than kakashi, and was the greates Uchiha after Madara. Unfortunately the rest of the clan had grown weak over the years. The only reason Itachi is an S-rank-nin is because of the mangekyo and the ability to use it wisely under chakra deficit but it can't be used often since he doesn't have the necessary chakra to use it continuously.

In the end, there is no comparing them. Itachi is powerful but Minato is out of his league.

Just so we're clear. I'm not a Minato fanboy.

:rofl: the spoiler/"show" thing kinda pissed me of in the beginning

[jaskaranirondragon]

Yeah right but you must admit that both were equal in power

[Anduril]

I don't think itachi sped through the ranks faster than kakashi... though I am not sure.
Also, Itachi already had those powerful eyes to begin with, while minato had nothing. So yeah Minato >> Itachi.

[Hus]

100% agree with u

[Misaki Yata]

Agreed plus Minoto didn't come from any special clan.

[~Supreme Itachi~]

nope tsukoyomi will 1 hit minato at his best

itachi's int is superior to the yondaime it is shown when itachi f*cks CT and beats KABUTO

itachi>>>>minato

[Ero sennin jiraiya]

I see people say that Itachi doesn't have enough chakra all the time. While it's true his chakra is limited, all you have to do is watch his fight with Sasuke to see that he was capable of using quite a bit before he was completely exhausted of chakra. In this fight he probably used a bit more than he normally would, but he knew he was going to die so he was a little reckless.

However, he was able to use tsuki, various fire jutsu, susanoo, and amaterasu before he bit the dust.

Despite this I personally believe Minato to be the better shinobi, but their styles are quite different and they are hard to compare.

What are you trying to say ?

Itachi graduated the academi at 8 and passed the chunnin exam at 10 and because leader of the ambu at 13.

[FaHaD 5212]

Agreed
Itachi had Sharingan but Minato still beat him

[★T Bogard]

Inb4 Itachi fans, hope you put your flame jacket on. I agree though. Btw Kakashi sped thru the ranks faster than Itachi

[Deidara Bocchi]

itachi>>>>minato

I don't know about Tsukuyomi. Minato would never let itachi hit him with tsyukuyomi.

[HashiramasStrongerCousin1]

Of course I'd never do this comparison! Why would I compare a Weasel against a Port??

Haha joking
But yeah, I would personally pick Minato since he's got the advantage in speed (and according to the "Masked Man" fight, speed has SERIOUS ADVANTAGE). If Itachi used clones, Minato can use a tag to directly teleport behind the real Itachi, much like he did to Killer Bee and the Raikage. If not, he probably knows a bunch of sealing techniques that prevents Itachi from doing such a thing.
However, no matter how much info we get on a character, it's impossible to confirm who exactly is the strongest until Kishimoto officially confirms the line-up.

[natssuu]

Saying that Minato is out of Itachi's league is pure fanboyism.

[Champ]

I don't compare them since Itachi can own him anytime

Why you'd get upset with the spoiler ?

100% agree with u

Because it's the truth. Yeah Itachi saved Konoha from his fellow clan members but that is a win fail.

[November Nolove]

Tell me how minato can do this less than a minute

[minator93]

Agreed

[Deidara Bocchi]

You're wrong ! Minato's speed is enough to finish Itachi.

[Joker]

Saying that Minato is out of Itachi's league is pure fanboyism.

I'm not a Minato fanboy. This is pure truth here, if you can't accept that you are obviously favouring Itachis side.

[Joker]

Tell me how minato can do this less than a minute

Do what under a minute ?

Agreed

I'm glad.

[~Sovereign~]

i agree but minato isnt "out of itachi's league"

minato wins insanely high difficulty

[natssuu]

You're wrong ! Minato's speed is enough to finish Itachi.

That's fail logic, if Minato wants to get close to Itachi via FTG, he must either throw a kunai near him(And Itachi could easily block the Kunai) or he must place a FTG Seal on Itachi beforehand, which is highly unlikely. Obito failed miserably because he tried to defeat Minato at close-range, that's when FTG works the best however Itachi has no reason to take a risk like that.
