So far, A was the only one who battled Minato more than once. Killer B, was never mentioned to, and even if he did, he didn't in his prime, and didn't go out as serious as he with Sasuke.

B didn't counter Amaterasu. He switched himself with a clone, which was already a BS escape by plot.

B's escape plan depended on Sasuke saving Karin, by cutting the Tentecle, that B used as a duplicate. Or the other way around.

B's whole escape also depended on Sasuke stopping the Amaterasu or not. If he didn't. B wouldn't survive.

And no, Suigetsu suggested that they should go after B trying to kill him, if they actually wanted to catch him. Which so far, Sasuke didn't say a word of.

If B could come back while faking his clone, out of the water, then he probably would still not be recovered from the burns, damage or pain of the Amaterasu. Even if he did come back, he'll be treated again with an Amaterasu which I doubt one would treat oneself to.

And the last, Sasuke in the end, admitted that he didn't expect a battle this intense, and that his recovery from the previous battle hasn't been completed. While, B, not Suigetsu, not Karin, not Jugo, not even Sasuke, but B admitted to him being the strongest person he fought so far. And I personally think Sasuke would have been able to use his Chidori sphere during both of their close combat rounds, if the mission hadn't been to capture B, not kill him.
