Ohh you meant the second time. Minato was just letting him scramble around trying to figure out which kunai he'd teleport to. Then while he'd be looking at the kunai, he wouldn't expect to go for Bee.

And no, they could have pursued either way. The exchange was just speedster on speedster, they were basically showing off to each other since they were both renowned for speed. Btw when I asked how close, I meant how close did he actually allow Ay to get to him? He didn't teleport as soon as he reacted. Honestly look at Minato that entire fight. Cool, calm, collected, and in control. Not once did he seem worried.

If he really was bargaining for his life, then the bargain would have failed the moment he didn't strike Bee. And then a bigger fight would've ensued.
