His talents were considered comparable to Minato Namikaze and the Sannin, even viewed as a prime candidate to become Fourth Hokage.[3] His abilities were so advanced that even his elder son Itachi, a prominent member of their clan at the time, hoped to avoid fighting such an opponent.[5]" - His wiki page, Abilities section

As for Kushina, I mean, Dan had never been relevant battle wise, he was just someone that was emotional fodder for Tsunade's backstory. A lot of the Edo's weren't even heard of, much less battle-relevant. And Naruto had an emotional thing with Minato, yet Kishi was willing to bring him back in. Ah thanks I cheked and it's from a novel, I didn't read that

Yeah and Tsunade never ecnoutered him again, never anything on his powers were said, while Kushina completed his role and meet Naruto, yeah Minato also meet Naruto but he did not complete his role, neither had a clear discussion with Naruto, then the four kage apperance is something that should've happened, Naruto had to recive the other half of the fox with the reaper seal finally broken
