It's a general skill sure, but that doesn't mean he opts to use it. It'd be unlikely that he'd do it considering everything we've seen him do thus far.

Minato didn't want to kill them though. He didn't want to cause anymore tension between the villages. Gengetsu's situation is way different. He joked throughout most the battle. Not saying he doesn't know when to get serious, but he'll definitely be talkative, and for a shinobi like Minato, a small gap of opportunity is all he needs.
