@Ace Chouno

Feats outweigh statements generally.

Marks don't have chakra in them, nothing suggests that they do.

Even if they did, the only ones to ever dodge FTG were people who had Sage Mode sensing or more. And Sage Mode sensing is far beyond what normal sensing is capable of.

We never saw that Ay's reflexes were faster than Minato's. If anything, their bout concluded that Minato's reaction times were the best out of the two. And it doesn't make sense to compare them for this fight; The Third Raikage was the fastest of his time, so he was faster than Hiruzen. And the Fourth Raikage is faster (though not stronger) than the Third Raikage. So Minato beating the Ay in speed shows he's faster than Hiruzen.

Wide variety of jutsu doesn't mean he can't be read. Otherwise, Kakashi would be unstoppable. Hiruzen has Konoha's jutsu, while Kakashi has a lot of jutsu from all over the lands. Neither are invincible or impossible to be read.

Minato would do it the same way he always does? FTG and slash? Of course with an opponent like Hiruzen, it may not work. But I'm not sure what having Enma out would change. Minato has often moved into killing positions before even his comrades realize it. You're downplaying his speed.

That said, of course it wouldn't be an easy fight. But I think Minato's speed and power are too much for Hiruzen. He's also a very fast thinker; it's not like he's a slower opponent. He's very shrewd
