Not really, considering Minato has spent his whole life in the village, while Orochimaru defected, and continued to develop techniques. Hell, even while he was in the village, Orochimaru was snooping around and abducting people to further his research. Not only that, but it was said the vast majority oppossed Minato's appointment and preferred Orochimaru - but i'm not about to argue with you, of all people.

Well Anko, Orochimaru's old student, wished Minato was still alive to face Orochimaru so she believed Minato was strong enough to beat her old master and she did know a lot of his jutsus since he taught her a lot of them.

the guy who was defeated easily by kyuubi's Claw ( one shot )

No

at least Obito Can make the kyuubi his pet through Genjutsu and Sharingan Lol​

Except Kurama's claw only did what Minato's own jutsu was going to do and Minato already took control of Kurama away from Obito with his contract seal.

Yea to Ay he was unbeatable, but never Ay + B .... lol. Big difference mate.

Minato was stronger than them on an individual basis, but not in a 2 vs 1 , he already got stalemated by killer B in a 2 vs 1.


Notice how juubito and etc and all of Minato's edo feats have 0 to do with the fight......


- Ay attacked-
- Minato dodged-
- Ay Attacked again, knowing Minato will dodge-
- Minato dodges, and goes behind killer B -
- Killer B gets Minato right back-

^^^^ In no way in hell is that called "Minato was going to beat them".

As I said, hes better than them on individual basis, but when it comes to a 2 vs 1... no hes not stronger than them.

Well A and Bee were always a tag team partner back then so if A is saying Minato was unbeatable then he would be talking about 2 vs 1. Bee even trembled at Minato being mentioned by Naruto . Minato's speed and smarts would help him defeat them.

Nothing in Minato's arsenal short of RDS will kill orochimaru.

Well Orochimaru isn't unkillable, he said himself oral rebirth cost a lot of chakra so constant barrages that causes Orochimaru to have to use oral rebirth would drain Orochimaru and leave him for death blows. Contract seal takes away snake summons and he still have his toads as well.

Another thread to try to make Minato relevant again.
Minato had nothing that could get through A's lighting cloak. Normal resengan and FTG wasn't good enough..

So no.

Minato's physical strength was enough to have the kunai kill A, that's why Bee pushed A out the way as Minato was going to kill A.

I'm still debating whether he can beat Orochimaru or not.

Anko knows a lot about Orochimaru being his student and she wished Minato was alive to beat Orochimaru.

Hiruzen believed he might be able to, but Hiruzen also didn't know Orochimaru's arsenal.

Ebisu told Jiraiya only one of the Sannins could beat Orochimaru when he asked Jiraiya to help and Anko wished Minato was alive to take on Orochimaru when she knew a lot about Orochimaru being his student so I think Minato could have but Hiruzen was too old at that point and they had like 12-13 years of no war or big fights so Hiruzen probably wasn't staying in tip top shape but focusing on ensuring peace to his village.

Hokage has always been the strongest of the generation. That is a undeniable law.



you just showed him dodging his attack. Notice how he went after killer B , when Ay fully got all the kunais in his mind and was ready to blitz to anyone of them ;].

Well he went after Bee because Bee pushed A out the way when he was going to kill A so Minato went after Bee. Minato already shown that he can react to A's speed at point blank range do I don't think he really worried about A knowing where his marks were; the moment Bee interfered it became 2 vs 1 and he wasn't going to ignore Bee. This fight was more of them checking each other's capabilities and they fought much more after that.

How old was Nagato at the time before Minato's death? He's the only person who I could see being the strongest since Obito was inexperienced at the time.

Nagato was about a few years older than Minato I think, like around 3 years. Jiraiya found them as kids and trained then then he took only students after returning to Konoha which Minato was one of. We seen Nagato only use Gedo Mazo and Jiraiya said Nagato could use all elements so I don't think Nagato could use all of the Rinnegan jutsus that we see him use later on and relied on using the 6 elements more.

Lol @The Morons Who Actually Think Obito Stood A Chance Against Minato...He Got Stomped Fair & Square...

Some fodder online, wanking minato with minato sig and ava. Minatard is that you, why you suddenly offline?

Never thought you'd resort to this lame behaviour U_U

He was during his time [Nagato may come as a close competitor]

Although things would've changed dramatically if he lived another few more years .

Lawl, there's no haters, their opinion just differs from yours so you view them as people who strongly dislike Minato - which is not the case. They're probably tired of the wank.

Theyre posting pictures of minato deliberately throwing himself in front of a attack to prove that he was hit by someone other than a juubi jin. How is that not hating? Lol you're apart of the hate wagon gtf

EYE CONTACT
Obito controlled perfect kage jin with genjutsu.
Minato just had plot armour so he wouldnt get negged.


Also

Kurama negged him hence he died GG

Ever thought Obito knew genjutsus wouldn't work? Why else didn't he use katon jutsus, wood jutsus, or any other weapons but what he had. He knows Minato is a sensor so the moment he sensed his chakra disrupted he can FTG away and cancel the genjutsu. Minato was already dying from using death reaper seal so Kirama's claw did nothing that wasn't going to happen already. Minato didn't even die right away, he was talking and using jutsus with a claw going through him.

Lovely speculation
FTG away doesnt cancel genjutsu, doesnt work that way, but minato can FTG all he wants under illusion U_U

I don't see why Minator and Bogard keep arguing, you both have seen them for years, they would rather get raped than admit one thing about Minato

Minato is not a sensor! cant use shadow clones! lmao

(2) Minato
(3) Obito
(4) Hiruzen
(5) Orochimaru
(6) Probably Nagato
(7) Ay
(8) Jiraiya
(9) Oonoki
(10) Idk, maybe Kakashi

I am far from a Minato fan but this is just woow.

Minato is a sensor and he has used the shadow clone jutsu.

Minato copied every move from Tobirama excluding rasengan and uzumaki seals. He modeled his fighting style after him, which included sensing and shadowclones.


Ot: I'd give that to Danzo, Obito, 3rd raikage if he was still alive. And hell even Nagato would give him a run for his money. Rinnegan is OP

Obito > nagato <<< always. Only person that could've kept Obito in check or had the potential to was Yahiko, who Obito plotted against to take him out. Rinnegan mastery =/= able to spam rinnegan techniques. People take edo feats and tend to overrate them

And Minato > obito, already proven.

3rd Raikage was most likely dead at that point.

Yep, the 8-Tails was sealed in B during Minato's rule, and the 3rd died against the 8-Tails.

EDIT: Nvm, he died against 10,000 shinobi. My bad.

Killer B was a perfect jin at that point.

You're not seriously suggesting Minato wins against a perfect jin of the 8-tails?
And? Killer B was already perfect Jin back in the day Minato was facing him(the fact he had perfect control of Hachibi's limbs is proof of this), yet Kishi dedicated a chapter proving Minato's superiority over the duo(not just B) and that was just during one of their multiple encounters(Ay stated they faced multiple times). And even after those multiple encounters, Ay still thought no one could surpass him. In this war he also told to Naruto that he couldn't believe Minato lost to Kyubi(and Kyubi >>> Hachibi). The first thing Minato does when he is revived via edo tensei is to save Bee once again in Hachibi form. So Kishi does everything to show us Minato's superiority, yet fans still want to deny manga facts?
