@JAson, Lol, naruto was getting tagged left and right by v2 jinchurikies so it does feel like his speed isn't consistent. Some of the times he got tagged he couldn't move or was otherwise occupied, but other times it seemed like he straight up couldn't react to their speed, even with emotion sensing precognition. Yet kakashi could pretty much fare slightly better. V2 jinchurkki are certainly fast, but kcm naruto should have been comfortably able to avoid their attacks if he could so to v2 ei, the same dude who spent all his life doing lariats with bee and still said he was faster than bee. even if v2 bee is as fast as v2 ei, bee acknowleged that naruto's speed was greater than both of his and ei's. So yeah, like I said, naruto's speed is all over the place. obito though has the feat of matching minato's running speed to an extent, so there is that. Obito can compete, with their speed. Kakashi and gai could have had plot boosts, or they simply were at the right place at right time.

At the same time, sasuke's speed is way overrated. Maybe raikage's speed seems as overwhelming as it is because sasuke isn't that fast. Sasuke was casually outsped by old hiruzen for crying out loud to the battlfield. Tobirama, hashirama, and hiruzen likely ran as a group, and minato outpaced them all. and look how slow ems sasuke was. Then he suddenly had a speed boost to keep with naruto because the plot always equalizes sasuke to naruto whenever either of them fall behind the other.
