I am sick and tired of people underestimating minato..... He is clearly the second strongest hokage after Hashirama...... Deidara has no chance against him in real life or in edo tensei form..... Minato is the second fastest person after naruto in the series... Deidara wont even see him attacking.... in the anime minato had already caught the baby while tobi was still in the air.....Minato uses space time jutsu..... he doesnt jst deflect bombs or jutsu, he teleports it to another dimension or somewhere else........ this is similar to kakashi's ULTIMATE eye technique...... he teleported somthing as fast and huge as the tailed beast bomb of the nine tails nt jst one tail or two tails.... he could also teleport or transport the full NINE TAILS!!!..... it would be easier to teleport or transport any of deidara's bombs than the nine tails bomb or the nine tails itself..... if deidara uses his bird, distance is neva a problem for minato...... He could throw his kunai towards deidara, then teleport there, then he can throw another while in the air towards deidara and appear behind deidara..... or even worse put a marker on him or his bird which he would not notice...... he will seal deidara in no time because of his intelligence at using sealing jutsu...... like he used a contract seal to break the bond between tobi and the nine tails and he even created the death reaper sealing jutsu.... Minato stomps Deidara hands down!!!! nuff said
