The problem with the counter arguments so far is that it asssumes naruto and minato have equal intelligence when they dont. Dont get me wrong naruto is intelligent but his intelligence comes in the form of making and learning new jutsu quickly without alot of help and he is creative in how he uses shadow clone and deception to make rasengans hit the enemy. However minato takes this to the next level because he does it with 0 prior knowledge and intel of his opponent. Naruto 's most impressive feats of intelligence all required intel. Minato proved his intellect in his first fight with obito when the nine tails attacked the village. He figured out from just 2 clashes how to counter kamui which he again had no intel on in a very short amount of time. Konan had to observe obito for a while to figure out how to beat it and she still needed a ton of prep. Kakashi and friends only figured out how to counter by luck iirc because kakashi and obito share the same dimension. So minato is extremely talented at figuring out enemy weaknesses on strange abilities. Minato is the fastest shinobi in history so he can easily match raikages speed with his shunshin and hirashin. If minato notices that a direct rasengan does no damage and his wind techniques are in effective, deducing that weakness is something that will happen mid battle because by then he will see how powerful the finger attacks are by raikage. Minato is lightning fast in speed and also thinking.
