First off let me start by saying that Minato is without a doubt a powerful shinobi but just not as powerful as many of you make him out to be
1. He's beat fodder ninja with the FTG
2. He beat a 15-16 year old Obito who clearly was not on the level he's on now being twice that age now
3. People keep saying he beat A...All I seen was him teleport away a couple of times...and besides what jutsu does minato have that can possibly get through a fully powered up ration Armor of the raikage
To me Minato is a faster and smarter version than base Naruto
Minato is overrated and so is every other powerful character. But what I don't like it's when people try to treasure credit away from minato.
I mean please explain how obitos age makes kinda minatos victory any less amazing. Naruto and Sasuke are 16 for goodness sake and they are top both top 10 ninjas. Naruto singlehandedly beat saved the shining alliance from failing miserably in this war. Can you honestly tell me that the disciple of the most powerful shinobi I have ever seen is not a worthy opponent for minato. He controlled the 9 tails with a puppet, killed an entire squad of anbu hidden mist ninjas, obito has wood style and mangekyo and superior s/t jutsu to minato. Yet minato still beat him while off guard, and protecting village, wife and son at same time.
Now minato has no kekei genkai, dojutsu, or a tailed beast living inside him or was born into a prestigious clan. Yet he was still so powerful. Plus he's had like 4 or 5 appearances and in all those appearances he has been untouchable and only uses like 2 jutsu.
Hes overrated but he is still top 10, there aren't manynthat can beat him. He beat obito fair and square. You tell me if there was anyone else in konoha that would have saved the village and beaten obito. So what if he was 14, at that point he was probably one of the strongest ninjas alive.
Just to add, he owned Ay and Bee, coulda killed them both if he wanted to but he liked Bee as a bonus. Plus why did Bee save raikage if minatos Kenai wasn't going to pierce his amor.
