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?

If you go to the chapter before that, B didn't initially have his sword pointed at Minato, and Minato started talking after he appeared behind B. :P Not trying to dis B, since he's one of my favorite characters, just that the stalemate was more Minato being impressed with B's powers and heart and thus not wanting to kill him.
