Minato is actually weaker than a lot of Naruto Characters.

[Grammar Nazi]

I think he would have sage mode. of all the people who entered the frog world only the successful ones come out. failures turn to stone. atleast this is what i get from the manga... Minato as a hokage must know plenty jutsu... point is, we never saw them but it is certain that he has them.

anyway no one can top SO6P and the bijuus practically acknowledged naruto as his reincarnation or something. wat doz dis havta do wid de minato being strong/weak argument? nothing really. i jus wanted people to read all the mangas before they post. :flaw:

if Minato did his sage training at Mt Myoboku, at least they would have mentioned it once during Naruto's sage training. The geezer sage was constantly comparing Naruto's growth with Jiraiya but he never said anything about Minato.

He was comparing him to Jiraiya because Jiraiya was unable to master Sage Mode, alluding to him surpassing him. He does mention surpassing Minato and Jiraiya later, though it's unclear if he meant in his mastery of Sage Mode:

i think it was Tsunade who saw the shadow of Minato and Jiraiya in Naruto.

Um, no. Try reading that again. Gamabunta asked Fukasaku if he saw those apparitions behind Naruto, to which he responded yes and that he'd surpassed them in some way.

This thread is fail. Lets not forget Minato mastered the rasengan, which means his more proficient at using the base rasengan the naruto.

He can create the rasengan with one hand, as seen in the minato vs tobi fight, he created one in a matter of milliseconds. His rasengan was shown to be alot larger then the base rasengan, and alot more powerful. Rasengan is the HIGHEST form of chakra manipulation, meaning its an extremely powerful move. And honestly, the only way anyone in the manga has shown to be able to take a hit from any rasengan, is either an extremely powerful defense, or amazing healing abilities. Minato uses hardly an chakra when using his attacks, he could outlast many people in the manga.

Stop the underrating of Minato, what we've seen from him so far, is so simple, yet so effective. Theres sooo much we havnt seen from Minato, if yous keep underrating him your just fueling the Minato fanboys to explode, and when we see Minatos new jutsu the NB is gonna be spammed with useless threads, like when Itachi got izanami 'Oh his unbeatable!' Go away pls

 

[kyubbi sagemode]

so how do you think minato would outsmart sm kabuto and beat him? Kabuto cant heal in seconds so none of minato's attacks would do any good. Kabuto can simply liquify when hit by kunai and withstand rasengan.

He can seal him dingggg

 

[Pepsilover]

It is true that we have seen so little of Minato.

There are many that seem stronger then him and I can name a few myself.

I don't think there are lots of them.

Look at those who he has fought.

Tobi was no problem and tobi could not even use his izanagi before it was over and he was both hurt and lost control of kurama. (Tobi which faced konan, kakahi+several others and dazo elite ninjas ) We can even assume tobi lost confidence in his ability and hid in the shadows for so long as a result.

Raikage A and B. Well that was easy... But I still believe raikage is able to take on Minato if he was not so hot headed. (Raikage which nearly killed sasuke when he was in sussano mode by only at risk at loosing an arm and leg.)

Whole army within short time. Enough said there.

Kurama. While he did not fight him directly he was able to both stall him, make kurama blast meaningless, protect his village from him. Is that a small feat?

He needed Kurama for the village to keep the balance. Who is to say he could not have means to keep him at bay until he is sealed or seal him himself? Yes that is only a speculation and we should not assume he could. Just like we should not assume other characters can take Minato with ease.

So far, he has ftg jutsu, rasengan, bunch of sealing jutsus, time barrier justu, barrier jutsu and sensor ability by using his ftg tech(can sense anything that goes by near his markings..)

ftg is one of the most powerful jutsu out there and there are not many who are able to counter this. Yes I sound like a fan but that is the truth.


So who are those who currently can take him down.

That's simple.

Those who are able to counter for all of those markings.

Kisame is the worst opponent Minato could face. Gaara is not a good match for minato either as rasengan might not be strong enough.

3rd raikage, enough said.

Current Madara, nagato, tobi, kabuto(if edo is ready),danzo with KA converts Minato to his cause(unless he can avoid it by simply not looking into his eye), naruto(clones), harashima(? not sure about him, but I have to assume that even if I don't know anything about him)... Any more who have 360° defense and have offensive ability against his markings?


How would you fight ftg tech with your favorite character?

Click on the "Forums" link at the right of "Home"

Click on the topic which you think your thread belongs to. (Maybe it is general discussion) and scroll down and click "new thread" or something like that. Good luck

 

[Akothari94]

well according to me we have not seen many of minato's moves,that is why it is hard to comment on his strength

 

[Reptile]

The number of jutsu's doesnt determine how strong a person is.what matter's the most is how a person utilizes the little he has.and as a fact,minato is extremelly intelligent and i'm sure that counts for strength.

 

[admireableman]

I don't know he is weak or not but he smarter than most of them even top ninja ....i like his smartness.

 

[muhawari]

i recall that in the early days of naruto series (when orochimaru attacked the village) third hokage said that minato could defeat orochimaru if he was alive
and remember that itachi couldn't defeat jiraiya (which minato is stronger than him)

 

[dhaoracle]

Sure the yellow flash is one of the fastest shinobis in Narutoverse. However, what he really lacks is a powerful move. So far from what we've seen the strongest weapons in his arsenal are his kunai and the rasengan. Meaning he can get behind his opponent in the blink of an eye and stab 'em with his kunai. This might be quite effective against some of the characters in Naruto. However, this puts Minato in a bad spot against the top tier naruto characters such as the kages, akatsuki members like orochimaru, itachi, pain and Madara Uchiha and Even Biiju Naruto. Rasengan, as we have seen, has been countered thousands of times in naruto. There are so many characters that can simply withstand it. For example, orochimaru can easily withstand a kunai attack or a rasengan thanks to his regenerative abilities. Minato can keep chopping him off all day but he will just keep coming out of his shells. Sage Kabuto is another character that will annihilate minato in terms of feats. Minato can rasengan him all day but he will just keep healing himself. Ninjutsu is useless against edo madara so minato will have to take him down with power moves. The problem is minato doesn't have any. Like he doesn't have any moves that will break the susanoo. Strength is a feat he seems to lack as well. Now I have no doubt in Minato's superior intellect and I can guarantee he will find a way to score a direct hit on any opponent. The only problem is that hit may not be enough to finish off some of the top rank shinobies. And that makes minato a weak match against them. Sure minato can defeat kakashi and the jonins of leaf village and even jiraiya(because he died cause of the chakra rod stab wound from pain minato can stab him too even in sage mode) with his speed. But against some characters with high defenses, hes just useless. Its a shame he had to die so early cause I am sure he would of perfected his rasengan and chakra affinity if he lived but the fact remains, Minato does not have a high power ninja move.

Dude just shut up and please stop posting because if you believe that mess you just wrote you apparently haven't been reading the manga whatsoever.

1. Minato was the freaking Hokage and took over for Hiruzen(God of Shinobi) while he was still alive.
2. He was feared for a reason why because of his; speed, genius, ninjutsu arsenal, strength, large chakra reserves,and ability to take out armies within seconds,
3. He was taught by Jiraiya who was taught by Hiruzen, who was taught by the 2nd Hokage. SOOOO I am sure he has learned some very powerful jutsu along the way of his training. We might not know of his elemental release but he was very strong without it
4. He created the Rasengan which is based off the most powerful attack(Tailed Beast Bomb) in the Shinobi world.
5. He fought against Kurama and Tobi and still had enough chakra to seal Kurama and part of him and Kushina's chakra within Naruto. (Tell me how many people you know that can fight Kurama head on...................I am waiting)
6. He learned Fuinjutsu from Kushina's mother who was from the Uzamaki Clan. You know that clan with all the Fuinjutsu masters in it and even where the Eight Trigrams Seal and the current seal Naruto is using came from. HMMMM Fuinjutsu was powerful enough to create Flying Thunder God and we don't know all the other stuff he created.

I am sorry dude but you lost this battle as soon as you came out with that mess. He is praised by many to be either one of the most feared, respected, or powerful Shinobi or Hokage in history and you don't gain a title like that by having a small arsenal.

Minato was like the Michaeangelo of Shinobi when it came to his strength, power, speed, genius, and overall will of fire.

 

[Itachi Minato]

i agree kinda of minato didnt really show a massively powerful jutsu to take out someone with a good defense but if Kishi does i think it will make minato too op so i dont think he will. Btw he wouldnt use a hugely powerful jutsu against tobi cos that battle was all about speed and ftg+rasengan is his fastest attack and he wouldnt bother using one against the kurama cos to me it looks like he decided pretty earlier on that he was gonna seal him

When I made this thread, I simply wanted to express my opinion. By all means I am not a Minato hater. If I was one, I wouldn't be putting videos of Minato on my sig.

 

[Dihajum3]

Yes, because we've seen so many Minato fights, we easily conclude he has just two moves.
This is where Minato haters annoy me.Are u f'n serious ?.We've only seen minato in action against Tobi and rasengan was the only thing that could hit him ( because of it being instantaneous). This is just like Hashirama. Before his powers were reveled, you guys were "All he can do is throw some wood because that's what he did against hiruzen" Stupid !

 

[UzumakiNaruto20]

Didn't know I had a reply my bad

Konoha was in war with Iwagakure only.It's quite different from a world war,it's rather a village conflict to be precise.Not saying it wasn't impressive but let's not go overboard here.

It was stated to be the Third Shinobi World War not Konoha vs Iwagakure. It was also stated that It was not until the destruction of the Kannabi Bridge that the war began turning in Konoha's favour. Therefore I take it to mean that Minato turned the entire war. Also just because they were the only two fighting does not mean they were the only villages involved.

And there are shinobi's like Kabuto,Tobi,Madara,Naruto,Nagato who can do what he did and better.

Maybe, but the fact remains that he was able to do it, therefore he is OP just like the ones you mentioned.

Hell Kabuto himself can wage war against the shinobi world in itself and even win with his army

What Kabuto can do does not make Minato any less of a shinobi. Just because a couple people can do something that Minato can't does not make him inferior.

Well a surprise attack doesn't equal a full blown fight,now does it?

Doesn't really matter in the world of ninjas. If you can wipe out a score of ninjas in an instant then more power to you.

A 13 year old Itachi managed to slaughter and entire clan(albeit with help),not because he single handedly over powered each of them because he assassinated them which was quite easier than to have to fight them at full force

Are you saying Minato<Itachi because of this? And we really don't know how Itachi did it. For all we know Tobi could have did most of the work and gave Itachi credit.

On this one you're completely wrong.

You can't simply fight a Biju and win.

What did you say? Tell that to SO6P, Madara, Tobi, Hashirama...

And if by win you mean seal,well the guy died in the process and the fox is still alive so I don't see where there's the winning.

Minato won the fight. The Fox was forcibly taken out of Konoha where he had himself pinned and sealed. Minato chose to seal the nine tails. Therefore Minato wins because he put the fox down. The fact that he chose to die is irrelevant. The Fox was helpless.

And there are other shinobi who managed to do what he did and still live,namely the 3rd Raikage,who actually didn't even seal the hachibi he actually fought it in a manly fight and forced a freaking stalemate with a demon.

Ok so now you admit that it is possible to win against a Tailed Beast?

Hashirama fought a wild bloodlusted Madara with the fox at his side an not only managed to win,but also control the fox long enough for him to seal it in his wife
Now that's what I can accept as winning against a biju,not what Minato did

Ok so now you've completely contradicted yourself, you said that it is not possible to fight a Bijuu and win, but then you go on to name ninjas that can.

And the entire point of your post is flawed. You try to claim that Minato isn't top level by naming a couple other OP characters with comparable or better feats.

The bottom line is that 99% of characters in Narutoverse can't beat him and/or match him in stats. And that makes him a very good character by almost any standard.
