What stopping Minato from creating a clone & going for both at the same time?
Deidara is not gonna fooling Minato with smoke & a clone, once he realize it was a clay clone he'll throw a Kunai in the air & catch Deidara or he can use FCD to bring him down.
Sasori's core won't go unnoticed by Minato, if he takes Sasori down when he comes back Minato will figure out the trick.
Iron Sand is to slow for Minato & if Sasori decides to camp inside Minato can breach his defense with Bunta's help.
What's stopping Deidara from creating clones just to screw around with that strategy, too? Anyways. He can't fly up to them. So they rock him out of the sky in an attempt to do so. Especially if he actually tries to jump with a frog or throw kunais towards them.
And so far, Deidara fooled everyone with a clay clone. Don't see how he's not fooling Minato. Deidara has fooled Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Team Gai, Ohnoki. Deidara managed to swap himself with a clay clone right in front of Naruto's and Kakashi's eyes and went unnoticed. He did the same to Team Gai. And then, he did the same to Sasuke while hidding behind a smokescreen. If Byakugan and Sharingan couldn't notice him swapping with a clone or it being a clone, I don't see how Minato doesn't get fooled.
And hitting Sasori shouldn't really tell Minato about the heart. Sakura and Chiyo saw it out in the open, even punched Sasori head on, yet they didn't realize that was his heart until Sasori switched his puppet bodies and they saw that same exact part in the new body. Iron Sand is too slow for a teleporting guy, sure. But the more Iron Sand Sasori generates, the more the field starts getting filled with Iron Sand, thus not allowing Minato or his toads to exactly move on some parts of the field.
Minato can dance around anything besides C3 & C4.
The problem is their attacks are to slow to cause Minato any trouble, he can get out of C1 & C2's range with ease.
But he Shunshin'ed across Konoha during Kyuubi's incident didn't he? Also covering mountain range distances isn't so hard as Hashirama was able to escape from a Bijuu Dama on foot & he's not anywhere near Minato in speed.
Hmm. Minato did that? Mind if you link a scan? You're probably right since I vaguely remember him doing that, but am not 100% sure.
Minato won't stay on the ground the whole time, he can go airborne by spamming FTG Kunai's & bring them down with Bunta's help once he gets close to them.
Bunta sticks out like a sore thumb. One single blow from Sasori or Deidara - especially from the former - will kill him. Plus, Bunta can't exactly jump after them at the speed of which Deidara can fly up. Trying to spam kunai to get towards them also isn't a particulary good idea since they can barrage the direction of the kunai and all so he'd have to teleport to a mark back down.
Once his Chakra type changes to sensory type he doesn't need to constantly change it, it remains in sensor type until he decides to change it back.
He can change his Chakra type to sensory at the start of the battle & maintain it as long as he wants, he changes his Chakra type by his will.
That's not what I was asking really. I was asking whether we have seen Minato use his sensory chakra at the same time as using his other techniques. I mean, I wouldn't see the point of having his sensory chakra switched off if he could fight with it all the time. All I remember is that Minato was stationary when using sensory chakra in all of the cases he used it.
Never said Sasori is gonna inhale the bombs, the way you describes it Deidara is gonna carry Sasori around in order to keep him safe from explosions & this will make Minato's work easier since he can take them out at the same time or if Sasori don't follow Deidara around he takes the risk to get in the range of explosions.
Aight. I thought you were implying Sasori gets rocked by C4, too. Anyways, I've stated why I don't see why Minato would attempt an escape from C4's chakra field since Sasuke didn't until seeing Deidara's expression. He thought C4 was a dud so Minato should, too. Especially after seeing Sasori in C4's field. Sasori and Deidara won't be using the same birds or platforms so he can't cut them down at the same time. He's gonna be out of Deidara's explosive range, but not next to him.
