If Minato could have killed A and B then he would have. He didn't because he couldn't. He only had FTG and raw speed as his advantages against B, and only FTG as his true advantage over A. I looked at the manga panels, then I went and watched the official Anime adaptation of the panels, so I know what was going on. Minato's FTG usage is what is dangerous, but obviously not enough to kill A or B. If Hashirama could kill Madara earlier in their life, he would've. Oh wait.

If Hiruzen could kill Orochimaru while he was in his prime he would've. Oh wait.

If Sasuke could kill Naruto at VotE the first fight, he would've (like he said he would). Oh wait.

JUst because someone is capable, even in war time, it doesn't mean they just kill whenever.

In fact, Konoha was ordered to retreat at that time so obviously Minato wasn't out for blood.

Minato has faster reactions than A or B. Also his strategical mind was an excellent advantage as well.

This isn't A and B vs Minato though. This is Minato vs Itachi.
