Ay also looked straight at the kunai and knew where Minato was teleporting to. Both instances are before and after teleportation thus are motion movements. Ay was at his fastest speeds. Minato not only has deadly reaction speed, but the movement speed to go with it. That's what makes him deadly.

We don't overrate Minato. We just place him higher than Itachi. I don't see how it's illogical to do that. Itachi is great. But Minato is the worst match up for his style of combat. Minato flinger his wrist to throw a kunai doesn't warrabt the claim that he can move faster than Ay without FTG. Neither Ay nor Minato reacted to Gyuki's tentacle. Are we going to say that Gyuki's tentacle speed is faster than both Ay and Minato? No. The same applies here. Minato barely moved in the entire skirmish and the one true motion he demonstrated was when he was attempting to strike Ay. His slight movements were accompanied by teleportation, thus disproving the claim that Minato can move faster than Ay without FTG. You could say that Minato's striking speed is faster, but say his movement speed is faster is quite pushing it I've never claimed that you guys overrate and I agree that Minato stomps Itachi
