@Thirdeye, Minato did actually state he barely used it. He can't maintain it long, and it's too time consuming to activate. His fighting style revolves around speed, so he doesn't really use sage mode. Admitted by himself. So I doubt he'd use something he barely uses against a Kage level opponent like Tobirama, it's illogical. Why use something you're not good (not mention slow at) against someone you're obviously gonna be fighting speed on speed?

Jiraiya didn't really have the problem seeing as he let the Toads gather his energy for him.

Tobirama is cited on this wiki as the greatest suiton user of all time (Chapter 120, page 4).

Kakashi literally created all of two techniques. Three if you divide Chidori and Raikiri. The other I guess is Lightning Transmission, since it's connecting a two Lightning Blades. Also, he utilizes doton quite a bit, making walls, digging tunnels, etc. Not only that, he's used suiton multiple times as well. He doesn't use the other 1000 jutsu probably because his fighting style doesn't rely on it. (Perhaps not as relevant to the topic, just me defending Kakashi... lol)
