I love his ass... way too much actually, and that keeps me from letting people hype him too much. look, if all that were to be true, then how come ay DID almost hit him? how come bee almost stabbed minato, even though minato had teleported right behind him? that obito scene was the exception, and not the rule. people seem to forget that. think bout this for a sec. like, just try and be logical bout it. if killer bee (younger than his prime) reacted to him, why couldn't prime hiruzen, who would most likely bee faster, and prolly stronger than that killer bee, not be able to react to him? We don't even know how close Ay was to hitting him. We don't know how close Minato let him get to him before he jumped. Basically, it's probable that Minato let Ay get as close as he did to lure him into a false sense of victory, just like he did with Obito.

As far as Bee goes, Minato never meant to hurt him. We don't know what would happen if he meant to strike Bee. Maybe he would've been too fast for Bee to properly strike back.
