Why Minato is One of the Strongest if not the Strongest.

[Pravin5]

1. When Madara Attacked All Of a Sudden he Did Caught Minato Off guard But How By Kidnapping His Son Thats What only a Coward Can Do then Minato Saved Naruto & Kushina all by himself..

2. Lets see Now 4th Goes to War 4th is Now All Ready to Fight Masked man & 9 tails, When we see him arriving in leaf look at his Eyes It is Full of Confidence Like He Knows He can Take Down 9tails, even When He knows that the masked Guy is Madara He thinks He Have to kill This Guy, that means 4th Knows He can Kill Him...

3.The Battle Between Madara & Minato it Comes Down to speed & we Can Clearly See in Manga That 4th Wins the battle of speed, the 4th wounds Madara & Release 9tails Out of Madaras Control in just 1 Move ( So u can imagine If they had Fight Until Last Madara was surely Dead ) But Madara Chicken Out of Fight after all This Time He prepared To attack Leaf His Plans Were Destroyed by only 1 man Who didnt even know What was Coming After Him Still He(4th) Beated Madara.

4. 4th was Ready To fight 9tails when he Returned to village We see all shinobi in Village Failed against 9tails Including 3rd Hokage himself, 4th Returned in time to save Them, then he see Kushina Trying to Sacrifise Her Life to Seal 9tails Again ( Please Note : 4th could have defeated 9 tails but only reason he didnt bcause it would hav Unbalanced the power of tailed beasts & weaken the power of Konoha )

5. Still 4th had something to stop 9tails but seeing kushina giving her life & when Kushina says Only Regret She has is She Wont Be able to see Naruto growing Then we see 4th's Expression Changed like he made his Mind to Let Kushina Gave 1 more Chance to see Naruto again Even If he Has to Die For It.... Thats How it is Neither Madara Nor 9tails could Have managed to Defeat Minato only thing defeated Him Was His Love For His Wife & the Beleive in his son that he is one his Master( Jiraya) told about The Child Who Bring Peace in The world.....

For Battle skills :

1. The Real Madara is beast right But he cant ven handle the speed of Raikage i Doubt he could even manage to see Minato.

2. Rasengan of Minato is not a joke the only thing that didnt killed tobi cause Tobi is not using a Human body its a Zetsu clone still the impact of Rasengan was big enough to broke his zetsu clone arm. I bet if any Human body get taste of Real rasengan then they are dead meal.

3. Space time technique . do you guys ever thought if madara or any high powered ninja used a massive heavy attack on minato He will Turnit back on then just like he blocked kyubi's Tail beast bomb. only this time he will send it straight to the enemy area.

4. Last but not least a Guy who can seal a 100% power kyubi can Easily seal any Ninja with his Demon death seal & then the Game is over no matter who u are how strong you are.

5. One Question why doesnt Madara, Hashirama, Hiruzen, or any Akatsuki member Gets a " Flee on Sight " thing ?

Now hate it if You want to But Minato Namikaze was & Always Will be One of the Greatest & strongest of all Time.

 

[Uchiha Riyo]

Madara has Rinnegan, which can absorb Rasengan. No matter how devastating and powerful Minato's Rasengan is, and it is, he can't his Madara with it.

 

[OWanime]

4. only 50% of its power 3.it possible 5. trust me they did 1. yeah but his reflexes or susanoo would help; powerful-yes strongest-no xd

 

[KAGE RYUU]

minato was minato no more no less he was badass but not the best he was def in the top tier of shinobi but so are others

 

[LolaxXx]

Minato was not the best. One of the best of all time, but not the best. If he lived longer to reach his potential, then I think he could have been the best of his time. Still seemed like he had alot of time to grow and develop.

This^^

i also believe that he is the strongest untill naruto manages to fully control the power of the fox. as it was stated by kakashi that only naruto could surpass the 4th, A thinks minato is unsurpassable, and why naruto aim at minatos level when haters imply that madara,hashirama,tobirama, hiruzen, itachi is >minato? lol why not just aim at the strongest. people forget that he is the main characters father. and he was the Legendary Ninja that was told in the very FIRST CHAPTER of this MANGA. why would make a legend so weak. :rofl:

True story

 

[Omnislash X SageMode]

minato is strong, he is one of the greatest ninjas. not the strongest. others are/have surpassed him now.

 

[Sazzi]

he was great... i liked his jutsu... i dont think the greatest... but fun to watch...

 

[Totsuka No Tsurugi]

minato is one of the strongest ninja in naruto verse, but he's ABSOLUTELY not the strongest

edit: i just read the OP and its can be called minato wanking at the best

this!

 

[stRunF]

He is a genius that's fact, and he's the strongest ninja that ever lived at the same age as he did, everyone who surpassed him(a short list) are way older than him, he just didn't have time to improve more.

 

[BloodSeed]

if you observe japanese manga or anime. almost of the characters father(if their fathers are in the same league their fathers are legendary)

Ging Frics (hunterXhunter)
Bunta Fujiwara (initial D)
Yujiro Puma (baki)
Shori Kirifuda (duel masters)
Nanjirō Echizen (Prince of Tennis)

maybe they are following the phrase "WHOS YOUR DADDY"

 

[Blaze Release]

Minato like any other strong character is popular and overrated no different to itachi, nagato, naruto, sasuke etc. He is mostly ridiculously overrated because apparently being the main characters father means you stand equal to the sage, there are people who underrate him aswell.

Now people need to distinguish between facts and opinions. Minato is no doubt a genius and has gotten praise by those who knew him, but you see so has other geniuses like itachi, kakashi, sasuke, neji, sarutobi, oro, kabuto etc. Every genius in the series has gotten praise.

What jiraiya said about a once in a decade genius is his opinion no different to what A said about him being unsurpassed. That is their opinion and nothing more. If you havent noticed both A and jiraiya arent the brightest of people and are bound to be impressed by very little genius feat and with that stated their opinion.

Now minato is strong but alot of characters from what we have seen are stronger. It was said that he had fought A, a couple of times and neither could get the best the other although from the meeting we saw minato did best A in the duel. Now minato died, his potential stopped. A was alive and grew stronger. Im certain if minato was to face current A (both arms), he would face a completely different A than the one he faced. Fact is whilst Minato's power was stunned, A grew stronger and would give him a harder time if they wereto face each other again. Who would win, ive no idea.

From what ive gathered and from what the manga says, minato was about the same level as A before he died. If thats the case his power level might be inferior to current A and many of todays opponents.

What makes him deadly though is that although he hasnt demonstrated any extreme power level or op techniques he is very resourceful and uses ftg to its fullest

 

[BloodSeed]

^ is this guy saying that A surpasses minato? when it was stated that HIRUZEN was the strongest among the 5 KAGES when he was old? if you look at hiruzen 10-15years earlier when the 9 tails attack it was so clear that Minato was stronger than Hiruzen.

 

[ronus]

Minato is one of the strongest Ninja. His speed is amazing, he knows a lot of sealing technique. He created Rasengan. He dealt with Nine tails and Tobi; Bee and A together.
This is all we know about him. He never lost a fight but still the data is incomplete.

His Ransengan is not as strong as Naruto/Jiraiya's Sage mode Rasengan..

Further in the Ninja world specially Konoha, The Will of Fire helps to make a person stronger. So difficult opponents also lose the fights.

If we are comparing strength, then followings are much superior than Minato(I am not telling that he can't defeat them, But just the pure strength):

1. Madara(Edo or alive)
2. Hashirama
3. Hiruzen
4. Danzo
5. Naruto(BM or SM)
6. Sasuke
7. Itachi
8. Shusui(not so sure)
9. Tobi(Present Tobi)
10. Nagato
11. Kabuto
12. And the list goes on...

Note: If they were to battle Minato, the result might vary depending on what they are fighting for...

 

[Jiraiya the womanizer]

Minato is my favourite character. IMO he is one of the greatest of all time. But he certainly isn’t the strongest. He still had potential and up to date we don’t know all his jutsu’s and skills. But he is dead. So may be we’ll never know.

I really like it that he is one of the few shinobi’s who doesn’t have a KG, isn't a jinchuuriki and is not running around with senju cells implanted. Also he doesn't have any other "pulled-out-of the ass upgrade” and isn't just total overpowered. But he still can keep up with the strongest. And that makes him exceptional IMO. Also I think he has a great personality.

Minato and threads concerning him seem to be a big issue on this page. I also read post’s of member saying that they don’t like Minato because of his fanboys. But I really don’t understand that. Either you like a character or you don’t. Fact is, every character has fanboys and of course haters. And haters are much worse than fanboys! I know one thing…. Minato certainly has the most haters(hate threads) around here! Which has also been confirmed in one thread about Minato by a moderator. And he/she should know it right….

When did minato fight madara in konoha

 

[naruttebayo]

minato is a deadly character , perfect for assassination .
but calling him strongest is not fair ,
in a fight to kill he can actually kill even stronger ninja then him
but
being great is not always about killing
there are some reason why i don't consider him strongest
-he can't control tailed beast like hashirama
-he can't bring dead people to life or can't do capturing jutsu's (like chibaku tensei ) like nagato
-he can't save so many people at once like tsunade did (when pain destroyed the konoha she channeled her chakra through slug and saved many)
-he can't destructive jutsu like deidara and nagato
-he don't have enough chacraa level like naruto and kushina which can suppress bijju
-he don't have regenerative abilities like hashi , oro , kabuto .
so when it is a vs thread i'm always going to vote minato
but i'm never going to consider him greatest or strongest
