Anyways, size doesn't matter with the Tailed Beasts. After all, Bee's small tentacles had the durability to stop the 4th Raikage's punch cold. And Naruto, despite not increasing his size, used NTCM to block swords on several occasions. Not mention V2 has done the same. It's pretty well established that levels of power go from V1, to V2, then to flesh and blood.

Also Sasuke cut off the full Tail of Bee, not a miniature one IIRC

Yes Minato cared more for Konoha, so why would he initiate a whole war with Kumo by killing its Kage? And Minato never killed for no reason, he killed when he had orders to during war. But when he was a Kage, no one gave him orders to kill, he chose when and how to use his abilities.

Minato can kill Ay, and Ay can't kill Minato, it's that simple. Just like Hashi could kill Madara, but never did despite them being rivals.
