Apparently, Minato's chakra reserves are said to be average or nothing special; however, clearly that is incorrect...
Several evidences pointing to the contrary:
Hiraishin
- It requires three average Tokubetsu Jōnin to use the jutsu, likely due to chakra constraints. [

]Kuchiyose
For all intensive purposes: I'm going to assume Hiraishin is merely a complex use of the Gyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu.
- After battling a Shinobi possessing Hashirama's DNA and Mangekyō Sharingan, he summoned Gamabunta [which required Part I Naruto to access the Kyubi's chakra] and teleported the Kyūbi and its blast away. [

]Jikūkan Kekkai
- Note: Just like Hiraishin I'll assume that the size of an object is directly correlated with the amount of chakra just like the Kuchiyose no Jutsu.
- Minato teleported a Jūbi Bijūdama similar in size to the Jūbi itself without use of the Kyūbi's chakra. This should speak volumes. [

]The fact that Minato's chakra reserves are being brought into question is ridiculous. Especially when the likes of Kakashi can create 20 Kage Bunshin at very little chakra levels and Minato is assumed to not even be able to use the Kage Bunshin at all with Kurama's chakra, it is a bit silly...
