If a technique like the body flicker requires chakra then his technique is the fastest but not his normal self without the use of chakra. Sounds weird because this is the ninja world. All ninja can manipulate chakra. And there should be no rules to how a person does so. It's kinda like saying who would win a race between superman and the flash without their super powers. the body flicker is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalize the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination

because of this with his usage of the body flicker as well as the flying thunder god technique minato was noted as the fastest shinobi
