His reserves NOWHERE near what YOU are implying them to be. He was also never confirmed to ever be an Anbu, so why do you keep saying that?? You keep on making things up over and over. It doesn't take long for Minato to enter it.

The reason Minato doesn't use it is because sitting still is not in his nature nor fighting style. In that instance he used it, he only gathered enough to last for that one small bout against Juubidara, so it didn't take him long to enter but it also didn't last as long.

Fukusaka specifically stated you needed enormous reserves to even attempt Sage Mode, otherwise you'd get overwhelmed by the Nature Energy and turn into a frog statue.
