@James. Was A really in contact with his nose? I doubt that.

Isn't it fishy for you, that two of the ninjas that were known for their speed were users of FTG? Users of FTG, that have never shown a feat of speed.

The only one you have right now, is a feat of Minato throwing a kunai before A comes near him. That is nothing that much. Considering A never noted it to be fast, he only spoke of Minato's FTG as a body flicker with speed more than him.

And we've seen characters with other speed feats, like Itachi with jutsu signs and throwing speed. So, Minato could just have a good throwing speed, even though A never mentioned about that.

No character has matched Minato without a cloak, body mod, or god mod, and that says something. It doesn't compliment his speed, it compliments his jutsu and how brilliantly he uses it. Minato has never shown to overcome anyone in speed without FTG.

We are talking about body movement speed, not reaction or throwing speed. ALso only Tobirama was known for being fast in any way between the 3 other Kage. Minato is faster than Hashirama, Old Hiruzen and Tobirama with body speed and that was shown. Edo Itachi was also able to tie KCM Naruto in body speed as only KCM Naruto was able to react to and match Edo Itachi's speed while Killer Bee was not able to, he couldn't even touch Edo Itachi himself. Um, wasn't the clone a part of the genjutsu?

Minato reached the War zone earlier by a few minutes. it could be his FTG seals that he planted all over the village. Note that the rest of the kages came together, would it mean that they are all equal in speed? And they were minute behind Minato, so basically meaning Sarutobi as old as he was, was able to match along with the fastest ninja of Madara's time and to be close to the fastest ninja of the new generation? Should we reconsider everything and make Saru the fastest, considering his feats.

Naruto showed speed in quick flashes, like a body flicker jutsu. Like Sasuke once noted, Bee only ran fast in straight lines, like A, and probably Naruto. Naruto's foot speed was mentioned to be the fastest, but his speed while in combat? I don't really think so. Also, Itachi aside from being able to dodge the trap shuriken Sasuke threw, has shown no other actual stated feats. And he merely dodged back from Bee's swords. He wasn't exactly fighting right at it, like Sasuke did.

So, from what I think, Minato isn't that fast. I mean, he should be fast as Hebi Sasuke, but his true speed relies in FTG, and FTG alone. Period.
