So what's Minato going to do to Tobirama? He wouldn't be able to find an opening if Tobirama uses Edo Tensei to summon allies, then uses shadow clones that all teleport around using Flying Thunder God and attacking using various wide and long range water style jutsu. Minato gets taken out by that combination and will never have enough time to gather chakra for sage mode at all. He may be faster, but if you can attack a wide area, with a lot of speed and continuous attacks, you can wipe out Minato.

Also, if he really wanted, Tobirama could always resurrect his brother. And that would just be the end for most opponents because then they would be fighting Tobirama and Hashirama at the same time.

Anyway, AsianReaper is right, this isn't about Minato at all. This was about Tobirama and Hiruzen. So I'm gonna stop talking about Minato now. First, you forget that Tobirama is really bad in Reanimation. Second, he must sacrifice a living person for Reanimation, what if he doesn't know that he will fight against Minato? Third, what if Minato use Contract Seal when Tobirama use Edo Tensei ("When the user implements this fūinjutsu on a summoner, it removes any direct control the summoner has over a summoned creature"). Minato is faster, better in Ninjutsu, and Tobirama's Reanimation is worse than Orochimaru's Reanimation in battle vs Hiruzen. Minato is stronger than Tobirama, and Minato doesn't need Sage mode.
