his speed in saving baby naruto and also in whisking kushina off from under the kyuubi to the top of a tree far away (doubt he'd put a marker there so it must be base speed) show that his mastery of shunshin is greater than any we've seen in base. plus his reactions are definitely the best in naruto. the only ones faster are Ay and his dad, Bee and Naruto- in their respective modes. perhaps shishui and hanzo could have given him a run for his money too as they were touted to be really amazing with body flicker as well.
^This.simple fact that the author of the manga states it?
so lets put this into a simple term that you can understand.
so lets say that... person 1 can teleport from point a-z at any given time without any restrictions.
person 2 can run extremely fast from point to point restricted to what its tangible.
who do you think can get to a destination faster?
if both people starts off from one point heading to the other point with a mountain between them.
who do you think will get there much faster? the one that has no restrictions or the one that has a restriction to what is tangible.
boom. thread over.
Your 1st example is wrong. your body is falling down. and your second example is almost identical to this arguement. Minato being the driver and ftg being the car. I'm saying without the car (FTG) he's not fast. And illogical fanboys who hastily make statements like "he's the fastest" or "he's the strongest" without reasoning deserved to get bashed. That is rediculous.
This Minoto at base speed... he IS fast
