We've all acknowledged Madara, Hashirama and JM Obito are top 3 right but what comes after them most people don't understand.

Minato is actually so underrated when it comes to people matching him up with ninja's like Itachi, Nagato or Orochimaru, first of all Minato's Immune to genjutsu, One of the smartest ninja's of all time (Literally a Genius), Fastest, crazy amount of chakra reserves and has unique jutsu's, He clearly solos both of them.

(Base Minato may not have have alot of chakra but he still solos before he runs out of chakra so yh)

For those who say he didn't do nothing much as an Hokage need to reread the manga (Minato was only hokage for a year), He was Konoha's hero during the third shinobi war, Saved Konoha again during Obito's attack on the village, saved Naruto during his fight with Pain, if it wasn't thanks to him Naruto probably wouldn't have even been trained by Killer Bee.

Lets not forget if he was to live longer the Uchiha massacre wouldn't of even happened in the first place, the only Hokage I would say that's made better decisions making and that's actually done more than him is Hashirama.


I believe Minato not only solos the majority of ninja's in Naruto but he was a great Hokage don't hate...

explain to me how he is immune to genjutsu in a way that doesn't imply you pulling made up fanfiction from your ass.

due to him having KCM kurama can break the genjutsu

He's a Jinchuuriki he clearly controls the Yin Half and we've seen them talk

Hes underrated because he has only shown a few jutsu and Uchiha fanboys overrate every single Uchiha. They believe Susano'o(been broken numerous times) can block any and everything and that Amateratsu can one-shot everybody (has killed no one).

Also with the amount of Sasuke, Itachi, Obito, Madara wankers on the base its hard to get a valid explanation to why he is underrated.



Not to mention his fanboys overrate him with feats he has yet to show. And they lump him with Tobirama. Anything that Tobirama does they assume he can also.

If you're talking about base minato, then he isn't immune to genjutsu, and he lacks the fire power to take down the strongest. The only atack jutsu we've seen him using is rasengan. A lot of people have counters to rasengan, or a rasengan barrage with clones.
FTG is useful, a lot. And minato is very fast too. But speed alone won't beat everyone. We've seen that madara, using his speed and sensing skills, could easily react to the atack after after FTG, so the jutsu isn't flawless unless the opponent is already marked.

He's an edo whilst in control of the fox, living Minato doesn't have the whole jinchuuriki thing going on, not to mention the fact that edo's don't need to worry about genjutsu anyways so that's completely moot.

Wrong wrong wrong. Madara reacted to Tobiramas FTG not Minatos. It was already explained that Minatos was faster than Tobiramas. My point exactly. They're two different people with different mastery of the FTG. Minatos is faster and can use it on Flying objects.

Tobiramas is slower but can be used to teleport a lot more people.

Kishimoto is wasting a cool character design but I must say Minato's personality is underdevelopedly boring. He's too calm, easy-going and balanced.

He doesn't take Orochimaru or Nagato.

Speed alone wont beat anyone but he's still a Genius, Base Minato may lack raw power but he's intelligent

This was never stated. Minato's SHUNSHIN(body flicker) is faster, not hiraishin(FTG). Both are "instant", they're s/t jutsus. They watp time space to approach a point in space-time to the other, like a worm-hole. There is no "more instant" or "less instant".

Tobirama already said he can't transport as many ppl as Minato.

Either way Tobirama's require more prep time and his reactions are better than Minato's soo yh

And spade(can't edit, I' on my phone), tobirama used FTG on his kunai, an object that was in motion. So he can use it on flying objects. And minato used FTG to telepor the entire SA.
FTT is FTG. You're mistaking it with shunshin no jutsu.

What prep time? The markings are all he needs. We've seen tobirama using FTG in the battle with juubito, all he needed was to mark obito.

But I do agree that minato's reactions are better. Still, a person with enough sensing skills and with great speed could dodge minato's atack after FTG( unless the person is marked as I said)

Explain then how Minato arrived at the battlefield using Ftg first then? And Tobirama admitting he was faster at using FTG.
