Yes rancin123 you are right. In terms of speed without chakra characters like rock lee and guy could be considered the fastest, but in the ninja world chakra does exist so it would be hard to not consider using chakra, rock lee and guy do use chakra to enhance their own speed, such as opening gates. But the FTG technique does also require chakra so it would have to be a discussion in terms of chakra based speed vs natural human speed. Which any technique requiring chakra would win. So naturally Minato is not the fastest shinobi. But it's also true that in a shinobi fight shinobi use chakra and that's where the big difference comes in. Minato is known as the fastest ninja using chakra based techniques regardless if it's an instantaneous teleport technique or not. Because those techniques also require the use of chakra.
