It wasn't just Minato's techniques that made him powerful, he is one of the most intelligent shinobi to ever live in the Narutoverse. I say with FTG, and seals, he can take Naruto...sadly we didn't get to see an extended fight with Minato, so we don't know what other techniques he has.

Maybe, we don't know for sure. Minato had all those sealing techniques and it's tough to hit someone who doesn't have to stay still for more than a microsecond. It'd be a crazy fight.

As far as raw power is concerned Naruto is indeed>Minato, however, whether Naruto would win a battle with his old man is tricky, Naruto in bijuu mode has extremely fast shunshin no jutsu which has about the same speed as FTG in short and medium distances but over very long distances FTG is faster because it uses teleportation, and Minato is very intelligent so I can't tell who'd win..:shrug:

If not he is getting there. His father if he had the uzamaki's huge chakra surplus but he didn't. Maybe a little more progression and he is there.

I cant tell
I dont want to compare naruto with any of the dead hokages.
Reason : we havent seen full powers of any Hokage.

It might be stupid to say before knowing full powers of all hokages, I hope kishi shows them Back someday

I don't think we can make a plausible assessment since we saw only a fraction of Minato's abilities. For one, I am sure that he has mastered at least two elements (since he was a jounin and Kakashi himself said that most jounin can work with at least two) and yet we haven't seen even one so far. His proficiency in seals probably also reaches farther than simply Jinchuuriki seals and a teleportation barrier, which is actually a derivation from Hiraishin.

All and all, we know pretty much everything about Naruto's skills and not even half of Minato's, so until Kishi shows us more of his skills, I don't think we can make a fair evaluation. Yes, Naruto is freakishly strong right now, but Minato is freakishly smart and, let's not forget, he has studied Bijuus and Jinchuurikis very well (he was married to one for christ's sake!) so he will know their weak places and possible ways to counter their attacks.

Worst case scenario, he can always Shiki Fuujin his ass into oblivion :D

I thought it was obvious that Naruto already surpassed his father. However, being stronger doesn’t automatically guarantee an absolute win in a fight. With their case, it was very hard to predict who will come out victorious in their battle.

Power Wise: Naruto
Strategy & Intelligence: Minato
Speed: Most probably equal
Chakra & Stamina: Naruto
Battle Experiences: Minato

Imo, the fight could go either way because Minato still have the FTG seal on Naruto. Should Naruto decided to use TBB on him, or whatsoever jutsu’s he has in his sleeves, Minato can use the Space-time barrier technique and redirect the attack back to him. However, should Naruto somehow, no longer possess the FTG seal, then he can defeat his old man from mid – high difficult unquestionably. Though, worst case scenario, Minato can always stalemate his opponent by using DRS as his last resort.
