@Andy Roque, Kakashi by this point already warped a speeding nail and missile away, it doesn't take him that long.

The only reason Obito couldn't counter the mark was because the first time it was used he didn't know it was there. The second time, he was basically dead from Kakashi's Raikiri before absorbing the Juubi.

Kakashi could counter it by staying in the ground, if Minato teleports there then Kakashi has the advantage because he can move much easier in there. Same goes for water; he has a lot of options. Kakashi usually has a lot of options. In either one, he could activate Raikiri and electrocute the mess out of Minato, which would numb his body and slow him down at least a fraction. If Bee can react to Minato, Kakashi and Obito can.

Minato doesn't go "beast mode" and start teleporting in and slicing necks. Same principle as Kakashi not warping anyone's head off. It's not their playstyle.

It's pre war, sure, but it's been many years since they last fought. Obito's skills as a 14 year old were less than that of his adult self by a mile. He was called Madara's near mirror, and everyone believed he was Madara for awhile.

Many Shinobi have recognized others by voice. Minato failed there.
