Minato's skills

[uchiha asuku aliyu]

during minato's fight with ay, he literally read ay's mind. So i'd say he has a mind reading jutsu, and again from what we've seen every kage character tends to come from a special clan, and nothing has been said about namikaze minato's clan so until then i'd have to guess that we've'nt seen half of what minato can do. And lastly. Teleportation + speed + ransegan + summons + sealing techs + stamina + high IQ = minato > kamui > itachi, i guess this equation is balance

 

[MinatoTheYellowFlash]

you made some valid points but there is no proof a 3 tomoe sharingan can't keep up with minato other than obito getting his ass kicked. Itachi can cast a genjutsu just by pointing his finger so minato wherever he is could potentially get caught. Also if itachi used amaterasu as a defense as opposed to offense minato would burn. all of his jutsu we've seen thus far rely on close combat

amaterasu as a shield surrounding itachi counters this aspect immediately. Now we haven't seen itachi have to do this of course and it is mere speculation however lets not forget ama can appear wherever the user is looking so if he looks at the ground around him , his only blind spot would be above which itachi could pay attention to. It's pretty even as it was stated earlier in this thread I think.

Do you know Raikage can dodge Amaterasu...need I say more? He could let Itachi spon amaterasu...no he would let it get close to him then warp and kill him instantly...and also he can warp amaterasu right back at him, I'm sorry bro but one episode and 2 things make this character > everyone in the series. lol.

How it would look if the fox was itachi's susanoo and he launched amaterasu at him, this is how it would warp amaterasu:

Minato doesn't even need to use his kunai. He could just form his warp seal inside his rasengan and warp it to itachi while inside susanoo. It would be instant so he would die instantly.

A finger genjutsu is very weak when compared to itachi's sharingan genjutsu.Something even naruto,with crappy chakra control almost managed to break out from.Minato will easily break out of it.
Itachi can't control the flames unlike sasuke.He can't make the flames go out and he has to make a huge risk if he intends to use amaterasu.It drains a significant amount of his chakra and minato can always pop around until Itachi is exhausted.

again a valid point. He does run a huge risk. He can't control where they go but he can control where they appear right? It would be a 100% hit on minato if he decided to attack and would win him the battle since ama doesn't stop burning.

but man it would be a close fight. im starting to doubt itachi and hes my favourite character lol. No EMS spam and he's a good fighter.

interesting and nice points. I really don't know how to counter it. at the same time I don't really understand how his FTG works so maybe we'll see how minato fares against madara in the future.

I don't think the raikage could beat itachi though, he could barely manage against sasuke. Itachi can use more abilities than ama. also considering how quickly he can bring his totsuka blade up i really couldn't tell you what would happen. He may not have blaze release but Itachi , i don't think he'd lose to the raikage.

Ay is just too rash and ignorant , itachi would find a way to get him in a genjutsu. Tsukuyomi comes to mind here.

*Not how the guy on the left still thinks Minato is still there but he's behind their defense and is about to kill the guy that was about to run*

 

[Bogard]

He simply has the hype to back-up his real level of power

You must be registered for see images

Minato's shunshin speed(without FTG)

You must be registered for see links

. With his FTG kunais, he can throw them everywhere he wants on a battlefield and thus covering it almost entirely at anytime he desires. With someone already fast in base having an instant teleportion technique that can cover an entire battlefield in an instant, no wonder there was a flee-on-sight order on him. He could basically solo platoons before someone could react("don't even blink").

Furthermore even from what we know from Minato currently, his arsenal is already complete. It's only that people neglect the apport that can give a good summon. Minato can use summoning jutsu(what you forgot to mention in OP btw). With summons he can use practically any affinity(Gamabunta can use water and oil, Gamakichi fire, Pa and Ma, futon, suiton, katon, oil). Pa and Ma could even use sound jutsu and sound genjutsus(the most powerful according to databook). In CQC, Gamabunta is a gigantic and powerful summon, even capable to handle a Bijuu like Shukaku or Kyubi(though with difficulties), and there are other summons who are not far behind Gamabunta in strength. There are even sealing toads like Gerotora(the one he summoned during the Kyubi's attack)

And this is from what we know from Minato, because there is a vast arsenal of Minato that is still unknown by us because of lack of panel time. Minato is said to have at least one affinity according to Kakashi:

jeez thanks man . Cleared up a lot of info for me. I will say Im glad i made this thread and I got insight on Minato for sure

yeah he could make it appear right on minato but it would take some seconds for itachi to get a perfect aim, i belive within these time itachi uses to aim and hold his head in pain minato would have already made his move, and non edo itachi can't combine susanoo with either amaterasu or tsukuyumi so once itachi goes into susanoo i belive he looses due to his weak stamina, and without susanoo i dont see itachi dodging minato's attacks.

Thanks for seeing my point of view ^.^

And I totally agree, now I think Killer Bee > Raikage with shark skin^

I kinda also possibly think Sasuke is smarter than Itachi (jutsu wise) only because of what he can do with amaterasu by making a new jutsu with amaterasu and changing it. I think sasuke is really smarter because one sasuke made a sword of his own made out of amaterasu. (I made this thought up myself) Itachi could have made the totsuka blade out of amaterasu (not replacing but putting like a cover over it (cover of black flames) like sasuke did with that Itachi could have killed Orochimaru and sealed him while being sealed inside he would also be burning :O amaterasu > pure chakra then.... I'ma genius

 

[MinatoTheYellowFlash]

Amaterasu is the second strongest jutsu, only second to FTG.

 

[NoMoreLove]

yeah he could make it appear right on minato but it would take some seconds for itachi to get a perfect aim, i belive within these time itachi uses to aim and hold his head in pain minato would have already made his move, and non edo itachi can't combine susanoo with either amaterasu or tsukuyumi so once itachi goes into susanoo i belive he looses due to his weak stamina, and without susanoo i dont see itachi dodging minato's attacks.

very plausible argument. & yeah he can use them but he can't combine them. What I mean is because itachi used tsukuyomi on sasuke in the beginning of their fight then used susanoo AND ama later on. That was at his peak sickness too with holding back. Itachi not holding back is like a full power minato, we haven't seen one.

I'ma genius

Right right! I agree. I just don't think itachi had the reserves or even cared to do this because totsuka seals someone right? they're as good as dead. In Itachi's defense I think he sealed oro because he knew sasuke was going to kill him anyway so if he died oro would as well.

 

[uchiha asuku aliyu]

the fact is minato's most powerful advantage in a battle is his high iq though that wouldn't be an advantage over itachi since itachi has a very high iq also, so if these two were to fight the winner can only be decided by other factors eg the fight arena, or other things

 

[YellowFang]

And with just that 4-5 jutsu, he dominated his era...

So, why not???

 

[Shinobi2000]

I answer your question and ignore this bull**it involving Kisame.
Minato was stated as genius, fastest reflexes and fastest movements, to that he was given FTG, basically teleportation skill. When you add up fast forward thinking and insane speed that makes a person extremely dangerous. Many people will tell you in real world if you fight and you don't have speed you're done. Unless you area a tank like Madara or Hashi for example, you're done. So now, as you noticed I believe, i didn't reefer to Itachi... That's another story

 

[Isaiahk]

I'm Kinda new to this website haha.... I hope I'm commenting right so people can see it but anyway I'm a big naruto fan and I'm most Likly the best at anailzeing abilites and powers. The flying tunder god is a justu that the 2nd or the senju clan made or have had with them because in the manga you see the senju and the uchiha fight and saw the 2nd hokage kill madara's brother with the flying tunder god slash (I think it was called). Others that are naruto fans should know minato's powers and skills by now but I'll explain the FTG anyway. It's a Telaportion justu/techqine that allows the user to travel anywhere at anytime. I believe that minato's guards or something in the manga said that 3 ninja knew the 4th hokage and knew how to use the flying tunder god but it would take all 3 of them to use it when they were trying to get all the kages on the battlefield when Madara was revived. Now the FTG is a space time ninjustu and very powerful because not just anyone can do space time ninjustu. The raikage's assistant name Mabi (I think) knew a transfer justu which is also a space and time ninjustu and said it is only used to transfer items not human body's. Meaning that the justu is unstable for human's overall. I think that if not used right all space time ninjustu is unstable (aside from kumai because of the MS) so the fact that it takes 3 people to do it right without messing up tells you that only a few not many can even pull off a successful time space ninjustu. Now I don't know how it was used in the past other then moving around but others thought of ways to use it for a better perpose in there moveset. Minato obtained the title yellow flash because the color of FTG is yellow and that's the last thing you see (if you even see anything at all) before you die. Minato (unlike naruto) was already Smart,skillful, and charming from the very beginning. He hasn't failed in the things he was on top of. He had no choice to die when the nine tailed fox attacked the village. Why? Because think about it. People are in danger within the village everyone needs help and is in panic, he fought obito who said he would destroy or rule the world one way or another and he had a sealing justu able to give his son the power he one day needed to stop the same man he fought on the same day naruto was born. Minato isn't going to fight the nine tailed fox head on because even if he was able to it would have dangerous effects he had to make a quick and smart choice to handle the fox so that the village would be safe and possibly the world. Minato planed it he just didn't want to tell his wife that because he didn't want her to die with him but it happened anyway he gave his life for the village because he is a hero and he did it for the greater good and thought that naruto would be the one everyone looked up to like they did for him when he became hokage and even though he died he leave his son with great power and responseability in the process. Also I doubt that tailed beast themselfs and ultimately die because they have been in the ninja world for years and a lot of humans just wanted their power to get ahead in wars when fighting the other villages for rights etc. I believe that Minato is on a level of his own because of what he did as a father and a ninja. Going back to the FTG justu itself it allows the user to go through time and space at a fast level based on how much chakra you use when your going through time and space. Now you can make also any justu (or most) stronger if you add more charka to it and if your skilled in charka control (example rasengan's size and power another example chidori changing when sasuke was in level 2 of his curse mark at final valley with naruto making a black rasengen because of the curse marks effect on the person) Minato clearly has very good charka control able to use his charka to talk to naruto should his seal be undone the wrong way even though he died and made it so he could put his wife within it as well to speak with him when it was time for naruto to learn how to control the nine tail's power, sealing the nine tail's yin and yang chakra and giving naruto one half and keeping the other half in a scroll until it was time for naruto to gain the rest, and being able to combine his base speed with the FTG is a great enough task to call him a lenged. And you don't become Kage if you have nothing to bring to the table. Being powerful is already a requirement but power means nothing if you don't know who to use it the right way. Minato had fate in naruto and I'm sure he had fate in himself and in his family as well. His IQ is well on itachi's level if not higher and if I remember right I think it was said that he was the greatest hokage of his time and able to master all justu ( I think) but so far the only thing I know about him is the things I've already said. I spent years trying to find out minato's skills and power come to find out that I was right about flying tunder god's abilities just by playing the naruto unitized ninja game 2 or 3 when your able to play with him and information I find. Flying Tunder god can be used in a number of ways but the one I know of is seals. Minato is a master of seals he clearly studied them he thought of a way to use the seals of flying Tunder god and placing them on the kunai's so where ever the kunai's are he can be there in an instant because he has the seals on every custom made kana he has. You know this because you see the seal on the handle part of the kunai but what you don't know is that he can tap into that power with his base speed making him a very fast foe and also able to touch others and put the same seal that's on his kunai's on you so if you drop your guess at any moment he can strike you down, if he places kunai's all over the field I'm sure he can do more than just physical combat because he moves in through space in time it's possible for him to make a hole in space within the atmosphere ripping apart anything it touches if he were to continue moving all over the field at high speeds with that being said he may be able to rip a hole in anything at any given time if he places the seal on it. Of course it just a theory but it's a highly possible one don't you think? The reason ninja's of just about every nation was said to flee on sight was because if you don't run their is a high chance you will be killed if he wants to kill you. He cut Ay and killer bee a break because he liked them if he wanted to kill them both he could very well have done it but he didn't so be greatful he left them alone because even Ay said that he thought no one would surpass him. As for what others have seen Minato do yes he has only done diffrent versons Of rasengan's, FTG , and the reaper death seal. The only reason he hasn't done more is because he has grown accustom to using just that being no foe has pushed him far enough to do anything else because everyone has lasted seconds when fighting him and he hasn't fought a lot of people (if anyone) more than a couple of seconds anyone to last mintues or hours should feel very lucky. So for the match ups vs Minato. I believe that he is on 1st,2nd, and madara's level in fighting. But as for the other things we don't know about Minato we will hopefully know more in the next manga chapter because he was the 1st Kage they to the war zone so now you can truly claim him the fastest because he Got there before the 1,2,3 hokage did and you know how people love them oh the story's lol.

 

[MissShakra]

all i can say is....sasuke couldnt keep up with raikage but he could keep up with itachi...minato was faster than raikage so in turn that makes me think minato's speed>Itachi's. Itachi would give Minato a run for his money, itd be close, but Minato would win.
