The thing is that Naruto is also freaking fast. With just the nine-tails chakra mode the outpaced the forth raikage to the same degree that Minato did when he fought him a while back.His speed was even acknowledged by the Forth as being in the same league as Minato's .Sure, Minato's own speed sure got enhanced a lot by Kurama just like Naruto, but Minato's styles revolves around FTG, not his physical speed. And Naruto since then also got Kurama's cooperation and arguably got faster, and got SM on top of that and arguably got faster again.

On the other hand, Naruto has SM. Minato's reflexes as great as they are, are not SM material. Minato reacted to the forth raikage at the last second by using FTG. Naruto(as a shadowclone) reacted to the Third Raikage at the last second, but using his own movements, not teleportation.

My point is, if it goes down to "speed blitzing", considering that Naruto has SM, he has a better chance of reacting to Minato than Minato has of reacting to Naruto. Granted, Naruto's speed is not instant like FTG, but it's not much fair off, and we have Forth raikage's words as proof.

And the other thing is that they have Kurama's chakra to back their defense up. And a rasengan won't hurt either of them a lot. And please stop with the "ohhh Minato cuts Naruto throat off" BS. It doesn't work like that. A 4-tails version of Naruto couldn't be pierced by Orochimaru's snake sword.What makes you think that Minato's regular kunais can hurt KSM Naruto? Also Minato needs to mark or have a marking near Naruto to teleport to him.

When it comes to jutsu power, again, Naruto has the edge since he has SM and has NY to back his ninjutsu up. His rasengan would be more powerful than Minato's, and regardless he has the rasenshuriken. His TBB would also be more powerful considering the reasons from above. Naruto also has better sync with Kurama's chakra considering that he has his jinchuriki his whole life. And Naruto also has at least 1000 shadow clones. Which spells trouble for Minato. Minato can't know which Naruto is the real one, so FTG is countered here. And let's not forget Naruto's shadow clone feats when they were barley using nine-tails chakra mode.

I'm not saying that Minato can't win. I can see him winning. But i think i'd rather see Naruto winning most of the times. And any KSM Naruto post-war (the Last,  Momoshiki arc) definitely wins.
