Though my point was the speed in between the actions, taking a blood sample, summoning a giant, looking it straight into it's eye(or as you've said, the genjutsu method Itachi used), and desummoning. All of these activities take more time than Minato's FTG, which is instant transport. Minato's FTG actually requires some preparation, particularly preparation of Kunais, their placing on the battlefield and Safe house. In terms of Kunai preparation and Safe-house, Minato has to prepare before the battle. Curse seal Sasuke in that respect is one of the most well prepared characters in the series. From the Two "Seal Handbands" which he uses for summoning Shuriken and B Rank Snakes its quite clear that Sasuke had lot of analytical and prep tool for fighting foes. Sasuke Prepared Manda's Escape way against Itachi in the event Itachi managed to win. But he was probably forced to use this card against `Deidara as seen. BlazeRelease wrote: What exactly are you asking about? When did speed depend on Chakra reserve? It was a ten mile radius blast, all the fastest characters in Naruto can't escape from it in between a few seconds. Or did you happen to ask it by a mistake? All I can say is that Minato with ease had enough time to initiate his jutsu, he's fast, but not Raikage fast, maybe Sasuke fast(considering Sasuke did physically dodge Raikage's attack, we can just assume if Sasuke had FTG, he would have dodged A's attacks just like Minato did). To be honest, we never seen his physical speed, he runs and fights like a ordinary shinobi but it doesn't matter, he doesn't have to sweat about physical speed when he has a jutsu that seeminly doesn't tire him down even with repeated uses. But for the discussion, I take A being faster than Minato in footspeed.

This is just my own opinion. If i remember correctly Blast radius for Deidara's techniques is 2-5 Km. There is quite high chance he could have escape. However it seems you are missing the point of my words. Sasuke couldn't "move" properly. He didn't have chakra even to use another "spark of Chidori". Just see the fight you would understand. That's why i said it was preemptive, Sasuke made contingency before hand for such situation. That's Why Suigetsu "knew" about that Snake Bottle stuff. Also As Far as i Feel Deidara's Technique could easily be escaped by virtue of speed.
