I dont have to rewatch it because you are misunderstanding. If Minato's Sage Mode only lasted seconds at best, it wouldn't be practical to even use it in the first place. It doesn't matter what was shown. Maybe he exited Sage Mode because he thought it would be of no further use, maybe it was due to plot. We don't know. But to say with absolute certainty that he can only use it for 5-10 seconds is silly.

I'll do you one better and rewatch the episode and count down the seconds and if the time doesn't fall between 5-10 seconds, as you said, you lose credibility. Update: I just watched it and I didn't see Minato not a single time in the episode. Not sure if you gave me the wrong episode number, but whatever. And yes, I didn't see him using SM with NTCM, but that's not to say he can't use them together, but that's not the point. Sage mode wasn't even the point, you calling out the BBR's Mountain Blowing feat as basically hype was.

And just because that's the only time we've seen him use Sage Mode doesn't mean he couldn't use it before then. Once sealed, you can't exit the Death Reaper Seal on your own, so he couldn't have been taught Sage Mode after death and he couldn't have taught it to himself, so that means he had to have learned it and used it before dying. Yeah, he said he wasn't good at Senjutsu, and it didn't last long, but 5-10 seconds of activation is nothing in battle. Sure Minato is fast but even he could keep it active for over 10 seconds. Give the man a break.
