Ultimate speed list
Lately, there's been so much hype about who's the fastest Shinobi around. This got me intrigued so instead of arguing about it, I decided to make a detailed list of who I think are some of the fastest ninja ever.
1. Minato Namikaze
No doubt about it. With his Flying Thunder God technique, he is able to whip past his opponents faster than they can blink. Notable examples are Madara Uchiha and Raikage A. The latter even acknowledged that Minato was indeed speedy.
IMO, I think he was the fastest Shinobi of his time - yes, faster than the Raikage. Stare at this page if you disagree with me.

2. Raikage A
*sigh* Yeah, yeah, calm down. He's here. Raikage A is second to Minato (IMO), but that doesn't make him any less of a speed-freak! He's literally as fast as lightning, shown during his battle against Team Hawk and, more recently, in a flashback when he faces off against the Yellow Flash.

But now that Minato has passed, Raikage has taken the gold medal - and I don't think there's much arguement about that.
3. Madara Uchiha
Surprised? Yeah, thought so. He's fast. Maybe not first place in the 100 meters race, but his Space Time Migration technique is indeed one that can transport him quickly to anywhere he wants, even on a large-scale. What I mean is, when it comes to travelling long distances really quickly, Madara outmatches them all.
Here, when Minato flickers away via FTG, Madara arrives one moment later. To me, that's quite impressive.

Also, here, Madara is able to save Sasuke just before Onoki releases his Dust Release technique. In the anime, it seemed impossible to escape that technique, but Madara managed to pull Sasuke out without a scratch... well, almost, heh.

Here, Zetsu says he can't move at the speed of light, as compared to Madara. This is probably a joke, but if taken literally, it doesn't really surprise me.

Last thing I want to point out, is that Madara can become intangible at speeds unknown, as shown when he dodged (or stood through) the Raikage's attack here... and now that we know how fast the Raikage is, it certainly shows us Madara's calibre (or some of it, at least).

4. Naruto Uzumaki
Having doubts about this one, but hey, it's worth the take. More recently, since accomplishing Nine-Tails Mode, Naruto can move at lightning speeds, enough to surprise Tsunade and even the Raikage himself.

Also, I just wanna' add this page in for fun. Here, Naruto shows off his new-found speed (by nailing Kisame? nice) but more importantly, Killer Bee calls him "a Golden flash"... a reference to Minato.

Well, there you go. Not much of a list, but it's a start. If you think you know an Shinobi that deserve to be here, then please, by all means, join in. This thread was actually supposed to be a group effort. I just started it, that's all. Make sure you include their full name, some facts about why you think they're here (and of-course, give your opinions) and maybe some links or references to prove your points.
Enjoy! Thanks for reading
And no, this is not in ranked order.
