Lorenzo is pretty right here. The blitzing of Minato might at the end of the day not as effective as most people think it is. It just worked against a 14 yo Obito who hadn't that much of experience aand a few Anbus and a weakened Kushina don't equal Hiruzen at his prime. Obito won against more than a few anbu AND jonin level Shinobi as soon as he got his Mangekyou. Downplaying his abilities here isn't right.

Yeah Minato didn't expect Bee to have his sword ready, but he was focused on reading Ay. Do you really think that Minato would've been hit by Bee if he was planning to fight them both? He was sending a message to Ay.

And I don't mean to say that Minato could simply blitz Tobirama and end him. It'd obviously be a pretty hard fight. But in a battle between to people who's fighting styles revolved around speed, the one who's faster has a pretty good edge.
