Minato was the fastest during his life, no doubt about it, since only he could avoid A's Lightning Straight and escape Tobi's Kamui. In history, well, Tobirama was at least as fast since he could catch up to Obito as the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki; and Naruto is the only one besides Minato to avoid A's fastest punch (and that was when Naruto had yet to attain Tailed Beast Mode and the Six Paths Sage Technique). Guy's speed after opening the Eight Gates was impressive as well, since Madara as the Shinju's jinchuriki could barely follow up. The main difference between Minato and Naruto is that the former needs the Flying Thunder God to move as fast, though his reflexes aren't half bad, while the latter uses sheer speed.
