Oh yeah sure ? What is Itachi gonna do against a hord of Kage Bunshin ? What is Itachi gonna do against a bijudama in his face ? Do you remember everytime we saw Itachi fight after a few use of his MS he was already weakened and you're telling me he's gonna hold his ground against one of the most endurant if not the most endurant character in the narutoverse. As for Minato I see him being able to flee but I don't see how he can even harm Naruto, Minato has not shown any offensive Jutsu strong enough for that. Naruto has been fighting non stop during this war showing great strategy (third raikage) and incredible power (being able to defeat 5 bijuus at once) but Itachi is gonna beat him. Sure he may beat a clone or 2 but that's the only thing I will give him. Not buying any of that. You're way overrating Itachi and Minato, Naruto is far above them at this point, his benchmarks are Hashirama and Rikudou Sennin, Itachi and Minato are old story.
Susano'o, you may have heard of it.
If Naruto's close enough for a close-range Bijudama, he's already lost. Either that or, again, Susano'o.
Come on now, if you're assuming Naruto's in his prime for this, then it's only fair to assume Itachi's in his prime for this comparison also. It's only fair.
You have a point about Minato not showing a jutsu strong enough to plow through Naruto's physical power, but the FTG itself can keep himself evading for quite a while, not to mention get close enough for a lethal hit with enough time and speed to get away before a counterattack lands.
Naruto has the capability of being strategic, that's for certain, but not on the level of Itachi, whose entire life was a carefully self-manipulated lie, who calculated borderline everything.
You are severely underestimating how dangerous Itachi's genjutsu alone is. One wrong look for someone without Sharingan and it's over, that's game. All he needs is that one look. Now, weighing in Susano'o and everything else he has in his arsenal (including Izanagi, if he gets really desperate), he just needs to get Naruto one look and he's done. Naruto has to powerhouse him to death, needs a hit to land; Itachi just needs a look. And if Naruto reallly wants to be super careful about avoiding that, then he's going to have to fight extraordinarily well without looking at Itachi to stand even a remote chance.
Oh, I forgot to mention the Totsuka sword's ability to seal anyone it pierces. There's that, too.
But Naruto has complete info about Itachis abilities. He knows about Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu and Susanoo. He also has counters for all these moves. Genjutsu? Only Tsukiyomi could work, but Naruto knows that he cant look into Sharingan, and all other illusions would be useless against him. And Naruto doesnt even have to fight by himself. He can make a group of couple KCM / SM clones which would be more than enough to make Itachi use his kaleidoscope, and therefore, exhaust him.
Minato? Naruto will NEVER be as fast as him, unless he learns FTG. That technique is instant, no movement can be faster than that. But question is: for how long Minato can use that? We cant tell, but we do know that Naruto was able to use KCM for whole night and most of the following day.
When was it shown that Naruto had specific counters for all of Itachi's arsenal?
For my addressing of the Tsukiyomi topic, look above.
And Itachi has Susano'o, fire jutsu, etc. to stop said clones, and to utilize to the fullest extent to perfectly position himself to land a look on Naruto.
As for FTG, the only limits for it come down to chakra and kunai supply. For the kunai supply, since he summons himself right next to the kunai, he can easily pick it up, so there's one limit down. For chakra, he also has a Kyuubi cloak (somehow) plus his regular chakra storage, so for a long, long time.
