Minato never planned to kill Bee. It's possible that he would have killed him but stopped, and Bee put his blade up to ensure he wouldn't get killed.

@Rachin, of course he used FTG. And as far as the Kunai go, you don't think he'd be able to throw a bunch just by himself? Plus every account of the event says he beat them singlehandedly. Meaning, by himself.
