Considering the power at which Hokage fight, it may simply be that they mastered low-level jutsu that aren't of sufficient power in a Kage fight. he had more than flying raijin plus rasengan he had a flying raijin plus body flicker plus rasengan combo he used all three when fighting thats why he was so fast(because he used the flying thunder god for teleportation but used body flicker for high speed attacks and to generate kinetic energy for the attack i know minato has the reputation of being the fastest shinobi but that mostly comes from his use of FR... i don't recall him using BF that much or at all(yet he sure had to)... like shisui who is known by it. his nickname of the yellow flash is because of his physical speed"body ficker" when ever he uses the body flicker there is a yellow traser"flash" when ever he uses flying thunder god there is no yellow flash he just appears there

QuakingStar

thats not true he is fast because he uses both the flying thunder god technique as well as the body flicker technique he uses them in conjunction

he also has to have the proper reflexes to do things like dodge Ay even if you could teleport unless your reflexes were fast enough you would never dodge an attack that is beyond super sonic

like when obito had baby naruto he tossed naruto up into the air minata caught him in a blink of an eye and what did obito say? "he's fast" that wasn't flying thunder god that was body flicker
