Then you, my friend, are sorely, sorely misinformed. Minato is hardly responsible for anything currently happening, in the grand scheme of things. The sole person responsible for what is happening right now, is Black Zetsu. If you want to point fingers at Madara, that's fine too, but even Tobirama is more at fault, with his insane hatred of the Uchiha, for causing half the shit that happens in this manga, than Minato is.

Minato jacks Tobirama's technique and gets famous with it. Ever consider that Minato was simply better? Did you forget that the Shadow Clone Technique and its multiple variant are Tobirama's moves too and yet Naruto, a genin unable to even use a regular clone, mastered it in the course of the first chapter of the manga?

Your example about Minato's Rasengan usage is a clear example of just wanting to be angry at anything. Minato was unable to complete his Rasengan with a nature release. This is because it is very hard to do, and required Naruto using three clones at first, to get it down. How in the name of Talos is Minato's variants of the regular Rasengan, then, considered implausible to you? Did you even think that point through?

Minato's Sage Mode is another thing you can hardly use against him. He used it once, for all of five seconds. He is bad at using it, despite the fact that he can perfectly balance the chakra. That literally has nothing to do with anything. I almost get your point about Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, but even then, Yin Kurama was attuned to Yang Kurama, and knew Minato and Naruto were allies. Accessing a tailed beasts chakra is also very easy for a jinchuriki to do, even unconsciously. Naruto did it all the time and he's not the only one.

So yes, your points were a rant, and a poorly spoken one at that. Its okay to hate a character, but don't tear a character apart without at least thinking through your points.
