@AsianReaper You can't apply arbitrary changes in the timeline. Under your logic we can say its hokage minato vs baby third raikage. The scar happened during his tenure as raikage so its there and that is how he was introduced in the canon. Even without the scar minato still has other tactics and when he sees the power of A's lighnting techniques but certainly deducing it would be harder.

@Ultimadude not really its all within minato's intelligence threshold. You clearly missed the point of the obito example, minato also had no intel on that opponent yet still figured out the weakness on the spot. And lol thats not how minato fights you cant dumb down his intelligence at your convenience. You should probably edit your statement to say perhaps naruto couldnt have figured it out without the intel, but last I checked minato and naruto are too different people. We already saw how Minato handled the 4th raikage who is just a less durable third raikage. He scatters flying rajin kunai across the battle field and can be at any of those locations and the third raikage has no intelligence feats whatsoever. Minato will see the scar and wonder how raikage got it when his best techniques fail to hit. Then he will deduce that a lightning technique might have caused it. Then he will see the sheer power of the finger assault throughout the battle. Then minato makes raikage hit himself just like naruto did with a rasengan to the arm mid attack which can be easily done  thanks to flying rajin.
