@Ultimadude Like I said the point of the obito example is to serve as a parallel. Minato who was juggling the lives of the villagers, his wife, his son and himself still had the calm analytic skills to deduce the weakness of an enemy he never fought before and exploited it with perfection. Fuu and Torune were high level anbu and they figured out the weankness but werent clever enough to exploit it. Konan needed alot of observation and a ton of prep. Kakashi figured out how to beat it by luck of sharing the same dimension.minato beating it the way he did is just one example of his canoical intelligence, you are free to deny it if you must but I it will hurt your judgement. I know you didnt pay attention because minato isnt limited to teleporting to the kunais. Anything he touches can be branded with his seal and he can teleport there too. Rewatch his fight versus Ay and bee. And he can teleport to anyone of them at any time. The third raikage has 0 intelligence feats to show he can outsmart minato's use of the flying rajin, which even tobirama the creator and also one of the smartest people in the series commended him on. So try again. Minato=/=naruto so I rest my case. Minato would be smart enough to just teleport away the susanoo so bad example. Minato deducing the weakness will happen after he sees how powerful the lightning based finger assault is and after his wind techniques fail to work( assuming they fail, but I give raikage the benefit beccause his durability is insane). And tbh it was a recurring theme that lightning based attacks seemed to be good at piercing lightning armor. The 4th raikage was impressed when sasukes chidori managed to cut him in his raiton armor. So minato as experienced and intelligent as he is figuring that out isnt as farfetched as you claim.

@Asian Dragon wasnt trying to be technical but the what if argument I find to be illogical because like I said it can be just minato versus a 3 year old raikage if we go down that road. And no raikage was introduced with the scar during the flashback that showed killer bee and raikage becoming brothers. I already admitted naruto is a genius in his own right but he is only good with intel. All his most intellectual fights s had intel spoonfed to him. Minato operates near perfection without intel. Yes the third raikage is ridiculous ly fast and strong, the only people that can beat him are those who can keepoup with him in speed intelligence or just raw strength. Minato has the intelligence and speed to beat him. 9/10 he will best him by deducing the weakness and that 1/10 will likely be a draw by death reaper seal. And no minato is canonically fastest bar those who poesses the ten tails. He resorted to flying rajin because thats his fighting style, and even without that flying rajin is as close to instant speed you can get.you saw minato's insane foot speed as an edo tensei when he had enough time to teleport away a bijuu bomb and have a conversation before tobirama, hashirama, and hiruzen arrived , and both the 2nd and third were impressed by his raw speed. And like I said minato =/= naruto. If minato sees his techniques arent working he will try something new. You guys are talking as if minato will fire off one technique and then give up. Even naruto was trying new options before he decided to just get more intel from the 8 tails. Look at the jiriaya vs pain fight. Jiraiya, minato s sesnei, saw his ninjustu and taijutsu wasnt working, but did he give up? No he found a new plan and used genjutsu instead. So no minato definitely can win this.

@baku Yea tobirama is absurdly smart even smarter than minato. Minato blitzing obito mainly failed because obito gained an absurd speed boost at that point. Also all the edo tensi were a little reckless vs obito becsuse they knew they would regenerate. Obito however gained the ability to cancel that benefit of edo tensi

Minato picks up on patterns, he has shadow clones, sunmmoning, wind tecnhques to try while he is figuring out how to overcome the third raikage. Against the 4 th raikage that was when minato wasnt even kage level yet and that battle didnt have a conclusion. Minato left early but he still would have damaged Ay if beee didnt intervene and minato still had the time to tag bee without them noticing immediately. He had plenty of places to teleport with his kunai and such.minato's strategy is to blitz first but he has been shown to adapt new strategies if need be as necessary which he demonsrated in the war with tobirama.
