@Skitts: Well it kind of was a stalemate. Minato had his kunai at B while B had his at Minato's stomach. True, Minato wasn't intending to kill A or B so circumstances would be different if he was. Your Minato speedster thing was exactly what I was trying to get at. Thanks. My only argument about not being comparable is Medical ninjutsu is not comparable to regular fighting ninjutsu. There are separate laws/rules for medical, no chakra natures, no long or med range jutsu. How can you compare a medical ninja to a regular one?

@ItachiWasAHero: My point with Minato as a genius was that the word does get thrown around as evident by my previous example. Doesn't matter if someone was "once in a lifetime". All I remember was one character saying every generation the academy has a genius or prodigy. I think the character was talking about Sasuke when they said he's a genius. Don't remember completely. With my previous example of genius ninja it's actually right to call each of them that for different reasons.
