Kage level.

Stronger than most of the Kage's in base bar Hashi-roids, Tobirama, and obviously Naruto.

Those look like Truth Seeking Balls than Rasengans.

It has already been stated that Minato created the jutsu from inspiration of the Tailed Beast Bomb.

It looks like bijuu bombs, not TSB, TSB are little balls, and Ashura' s avatar is creating a ball the exact same way Naruto creates a bijuu bomb, it' s a bijuu bomb (rasengan using bijuu chakra).

Naruto doesn' t even know the existence of Ashura, how would he know that Ashura used rasengans variants before Minato?
Nobody knows Ashura' s existence except BZ,nobody saw a rasengan before, of course Minato will be seen as the creator of the jutsu, but we know that Ashura used it in canon manga, we know as the omniscient readers, that someone created the jutsu before Minato.

You're right, there is no denying of it. Which is why I never included anything from the 4th shinobi war. He suddenly went from a badass to a wimp, and it's Kishi's fault really. I kinda sensed a shift in Minato's character development, and he seemed out of character suddenly. I guess Kishi simply downgraded him in order for the new gen to shine.

fighting who?...GOD TIERS...stop bullshitting

From what I've seen, members in this site are down playing Minato a lot and it's absurd. Here's why.


Minato was born during era of the 3rd shinobi war and he has killed 1000+ nins, received a flee on sight order, and lead the way to end the 3rd great war. Minato saved Kakashi by taking down a battalion in an instant. That itself explains what he's capable of.

Right after he did that he was promoted to Hokage at such a young age.


How old was Minato when he became Hokage?

Minato's age can now be guessed at better, jiraiya trained minato starting from him being ten, that was right after jiraya left the ame orphans, and we know now that yahiko was 20yrs at death, so that means that Minato was either 17 or 20 when he became Hokage, meaning he was either 18 or 21 when he died. Break down of his age in detail:

Ok so I did the math and what not, Nagato was born in september, minato in january i believe, so it was 4 month after leaving amegakure that Jiraiya became Minato's sensei, Minato was 3 years younger than the Ame Orhpans and Yahiko died at age 20 in the same year Minato became a Kage, meaning Minato became a Hokage around december 10th when he was 17, january 25th he was 18 and about 9 months later he died at 18, on October 10th. That makes him the youngest Hokage ever. Gaara still has the title of youngest Kage ever I believe. But that means he was Team Minato's sensei at the age of 13, and I believe it as Itachi was 170cm tall, very mature and already a Anbu Captain at the age of 13. So Minato was already a Jonin at 13 almost 14, which means he became a Chunin and then Jonin within him being 10-13yrs old. Jiraiya already stated he was so much of a prodigy and Ei stated nobody could beat him pretty much So I believe it 100% - ItachiWasAHero

I also agree with the calculations because during the Kyuubi attack, Kakashi was seen in his anbu uniform. So Itachi might have joined the anbu during that timeline, maybe a year after the incident.


He is also one of the greatest sensory ninja


  • He can tell the enemy's presence, the exact numbers, and weather if they're clones or not just by laying a finger on the ground.
  • Minato realised that Naruto's Kurama-half was extracted before his own half confirmed it


Had the best reflexes in NV

  • Minato deflected a swinging sword mid air with just his finger tips that would have killed Kakashi.
  • Minato vs Tobi fight
  • Minato vs Ay & Bee fight

Had the most powerful sealing techniques

Minato had a contract with the Reaper Death, unlike Orochimaru who needed the Uzumaki mask to perform it. He had multiple sealing techniques in his arsenal, like the eight signed seal which is more solid than Kumogakures and even placed a key to control it.

He uses Space Time Techniques


My personal favourite is the space time barrier that transports attack at marked places. It shown to be quite powerful by transporting Juubi level bijuudamas. Keep in mind that even a kyuubi bijuu dama is inhumanly dense.

Invented his very own technique

Minato created his very own signature technique and used it in majority of his battles, and has been ranked as an A class jutsu. But it was still an incomplete jutsu for he wanted something even greater, which his son finished it for him. And even today his legacy has been passed down to the newer generation. He crafted his identity with the rasengan.




Minato was hailed as the fastest shinobi in history.

Minato could do all this without any power-ups in base form. With FTG, Minato shall solo the world - ENJOY

Man, I can see you like Minato but you are wrong i some things:

1.- Minato is the youngest Hokage, yes but he wasn't 18 and nethier was Sensei at 13. He was Hokage at 22 to 23 years and died at 24 years. Hiruzen is the oldest Hokage. He became Hojkage at 41. You have the databook profile of Minato, read the box.

2.- He is top 5 sensor ninjas. Maybe top 3. Agreed.

3.-

Minato deflected a swinging sword mid air with just his finger tips that would have killed Kakashi.

Minato did not deflect anything. He just saved Kakashi. But yes, he is top 5 best reactions. Better than Tobirama of course.

4.- Yes, he is the fastest.

5.- Minato doesn't have a contract with the Reaper death. It is just a JUTSU. Orochimaru needed the mask for one reason, and that is for making it appear like if he was the reaper death, that is the reason he cutted his stomach and the reaper did the same.

You forgot things but it is ok.

lol, it's not my calculations.


3.-

He did, he deflected the tip of the sword from further injuring him. Watch it again.

5.- Minato doesn't have a contract with the Reaper death. It is just a JUTSU. Orochimaru needed the mask for one reason, and that is for making it appear like if he was the reaper death, that is the reason he cutted his stomach and the reaper did the same.

@bold, you need a contract in order to summon things, & Orochimaru need the mask because it was a requirement on the scroll to perform the "Shiki Fūjin: Kai", as you've elaborated. But he doesn't have the contract for "Fūinjutsu: Shiki Fūjin".

1.- You made the post and agreed with an other. So yes they are.

2.- In the anime or manga? Cause in the manga I cant see where, if you ae kind I would like to see where. I am interested.

3.- Shiki Fujin isn't a summon tecnic. Hiruzen referred as if you make the seal you can see the reaper death. You make the seal and then the death is summon but you dont have a contract otherwise it could be undone by Minato's seal to break summons.
