@Ninja of war and @LegionZero.

What exactly were you talking about? Minato never threw a kunai faster than the raikage, in the manga, the only thing I saw was Minato throwing it casually and teleporting with FTG, where was the throwing speed?

You guys are talking about Minato doing a counter strike while Raikage was 6 inches next to him? Well in the manga, it's a bit different. He already prepared his counter strike. Throwing all the kunai's before A could reach.

And yes, Raikage couldn't react to Minato, because he used his FTG, which is instant and from what we seen, Raikage can only run fast in straight lines, since he seemed to see Minato attacking him, but couldn't do anything because he was still in the momentum of his run.

And about Minato coming first in the war, why shouldn't he use FTG? He wanted to reach the battle field, and that was important for him. And Saru commenting "You're fast as ever" doesnt need to be about footspeed, it can be the FTG that he's famous for being fast with in the first place. Oh, and you guys never explained about this, Saru as old as he was, came along with the fastest ninja of Madara's time, close to the fastest ninja of his new generation and way ahead than EMS Sasuke who was able to match Raikage's speed for sometime. You never answered about that....

Plus, I don't even think the kages actually used all their effort in reaching the war zone. For example, Hashi never went sage mode, which would increase his physical powers and help him reach the battlefield sooner than he did. But yet, he reached along with Saru who was old and barely had any speed feats. And I don't think Sasuke was concerned about the lives of his comrades. Plus, he's a living body. Which has to preserve the strength, especially for a freaking war. What would be the point of reaching a battlefield, if you exhausted all your strength in reaching there? Hence why he came along with Jugo, who wasn't that fast without any enhancements.
