Konan nearly killed Obito because he underestimated her. He even said he underestimated her

He went to try to absorb Minato but since Minato struck first, he ad to go intangible. The chain simply mad sure Minato couldn't hit him from behind; Minato had to teleport out, he couldn't swing around and knife him.

No matter if Tobi could phase through, something flying right at your face is going to take some attention. Minato didn't teleport to Kakashi, he used Body FLicker which is accelerated movement.

Tobi always had a backup plan for Konan, in the form of Izanagi. Against Minato he had no backup plan and underestimated him much more than reasonable, unlike with Konan.

Tobi didn't need the chain to make sure Minato couldn't hit him from behind, he could have just turned around, while staying intangible a little longer, if he was truly worried about it.

How do you know Minato used shunshin?
