AND you missed my point, he CLEARLY got stronger when he was revived with Rinne Tensei, hence the fact that it is easy to see that Edo Tensei Ninja's are weaker than their real life ninja counterparts. So for example Hashirama would most definitely be stronger than his Edo Tensei form if revived with Rinne Tensei. And your smart ass "favorite ninja" shit is getting old, I have no favorite at this point, but in the past Itachi WAS my favorite. Now he is irrelevant entirely.

Close to full power or not Minato was definitely hyped and thus wasn't shown to be so great as they often said. He didn't live up to his legacy oh wooped ti do. In my opinion I honestly don't think Minato is even all that strong despite being a kage. As for genius they past that word around too much. I'm not bashing on his character despite me not favoring him but I'm telling how I feel on the subject.
