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

While this recognition was due in large part to his space–time ninjutsu, Minato's natural speed was immense: with only the Body Flicker Technique he could engage an enemy or retrieve an ally before anyone realised what he was doingMinato ;[39] he could cover an entire village on his own in a short amount of time and perform a technique before an opponent could finish theirs.[27] In the anime, he could appear before sensors could detect his approach and defeat three shinobi with minimal effort.[40][41] Minato's reflexes allowed him react to and avoid techniques such as Kamui, Lightning Straight, and Evening Elephant.

I like his finger sensing technique, and once again, like if Kishimoto wanted to tell us something, this technique belongs to Tobirama.

I wouldn' t say that he invented rasengan, I would say that he discovered Ashura' s heritage.
Ashura was shown using 6 rasengans in bijuu mode in the canon manga.

That is TSB balls, not rasengan. Minato studied the Bijuu damas & created the rasengan.

Another of his speed and reflex feat was when he was able to teleport away Madara's TSB just moments before 8 Gates Gai was about to punch JJ Madara.

What happens when you make a rasengan in bijuu mode?Yeah bijuu bombs.
We clearly see Ashura' s avatar create a black ball the exact same way Naruto creates a rasengan or a bijuu bomb, that' s why it looks more like a bijuu bomb (rasengan) than a TSB.

But in the 4th SW arc he seemed to be on par with kakashi, his performance was so disappointing that even tobirama was times better in their fight vs obito

Yeah but Minato doesn't have that knowledge otherwise he would've said something when Madara spoke of Kaguya.

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.

Only Hagoromo and BZ know the existence of Ashura, of course Minato doesn' t know that Ashura used rasengans.
What' s your point?

Yeah man that was kinda disappointing the so called genius from part1 we all wanted to see kishi ruined it for all of his fans that he even ended up giving him KCM for him to be more relevant in the fight
