Also I wish people stop saying that Minato casually threw the FTG kunai or waited to the last second. In chapter 542, A powered up and quickly appeared in Minato's face. Minato was visibly shocked from his impression of the speed and just barely evaded it by throwing the kunai up in time and teleporting away.

@Legion

No it wasn't. Kakshi damn near shit his pants the 1st time Sasuke used Fireball but that does not at all mean that he was incapable of dealing with the technique, either by counter or evasion. Minato countered.

A's hair certainly wasnt being effected by gravity. The tips were pointing upward and everything.

We are talking about body movement speed, not reaction or throwing speed. ALso only Tobirama was known for being fast in any way between the 3 other Kage. Minato is faster than Hashirama, Old Hiruzen and Tobirama with body speed and that was shown. Edo Itachi was also able to tie KCM Naruto in body speed as only KCM Naruto was able to react to and match Edo Itachi's speed while Killer Bee was not able to, he couldn't even touch Edo Itachi himself. For one, no one is saying Minato runs as fast as he throws. He can at the very least move his arm as fast as he throws because any thrown object begins losing force and momentum the moment that it is no longer being pushed. Minato's combat speed is greater than that of Raikage because he was not only able to analyze the situation, but formulate and execute a counter attack in the time it took A to move about 6 inches into his face.

Hard to say if Itachi was really as fast as Naruto because Naruto was trying to have a conversation and not fighting for the win at that time.

Minato never confronted blind Madara. The only person to match Minato in any situation without Juubi hax was Obito i think, and he had Hashirama cells. No character has matched Minato without a cloak, body mod, or god mod, and that says something.
