Minato is a well written character man....i say this because the irony behind him is so perfect the fastest ninja in the series one of the best shinobi ever...but yet he has never been fast enough when he absolutely needed to...when obito supposedly died..when rin died...couldnt get to kushina in time to keep the nine tails from getting extracted...now not quick enough to seal the other half of kyubi in naruto...idk if kishi did this on purpose but he made a character that seemed perfect from the very beginning so perfectly imperfect its almost like kakasi...to see tjem struggle with mistakes they made and make more mistakes its interesting to watch
