well ,in case of Minato who was the featless character to whom he lost?
what? Minato killed himself. he could have killed the kyuubi (like kushina suggested) but decided to seal it away. Why he decided to tank kyuubi's claw instead of FtG, it's because kishi wanted him dead. Why he decided to use RDS to ensure he dies, is because kishi wanted him dead. Therefore, he never lost to anyone. He killed himself because kishi knew that the manga could never progress if he was still alive. He was the only one in konoha who could defeat Orochimaru (as said by hiruzen). If minato were alive, Oro would never invade. Sasuke would never get CS. Hiruzen would never die. For that matter, Jiraiya would still be alive as he'd have backup from minato. Obito's plans would never reach that far since sasuke would still be good and orochimaru would still be alive, therefore kabuto would not be part oro to do ET, meaning obito would never have what's necessary to summon gedo masu. In the end, If minato were alive, Naruto would have no reason to want acknowledgement since he'd be acknowledged by the entire village, and we'd just be watching a show about a kid being loved by his father. The show would die.

Since Kishi knew he had no character who could defeat a guy who he gave the ability to teleport home in an instant, and reflexes fast enough to react to the fastest shinobi alive, and skills to wipe out 50 ninja in a few seconds without getting hit, he had to get rid of minato some way or the

Minato wasn't getting through the Third Raikage's armor, he doesn't have anything in his arsenal to penetrate the guy who defended his village for three days and nights against hundreds of shinobi.

Minato can't fly so he'd be at a disadvantage plus it would take him forever to brake through rock armor. Plus Oohnoki was younger then and much faster and stronger.

Magnetic release would've attracted the kunai(s). Gold Sand would've trapped him on the ground since he can't fly.

Minato would run out of seals as well as kunai. His Rasengan was incomplete. He nearly died when he tried to kill Bee.

The Kages themselves had nothing to worry about because they could take him out. Now their shinobi, not so much.

None of that explains how they can take him out.

3rd is slower than Ay, and Ay couldn't hit him. 3rd has no chance. Minato Drops a marking on him, then Ftg's to him and instntly does a 5 element seal. Right there 3rd can no longer use his Raiton armor properly and his super defence and attack, and speed is shot to shit.

Minato doesn't need to be able to fly. Toads can jump very high and very far. A simple toad jump is enough to get minato within kunai throwing range. The speed with which he throws kunai is extremely high (his kunai moved further than V2 ay could move in a second) and he'd tag oonoki. Ftg avoids jinton. Ftg Barrier sends it away. Toad water bullets keep oonoki flying around and at bay while gamabunta jumps all around. Even if gamabunta gets into a bind, minato can FTG gamabunta away (like he did with the kyuubi). Oonoki has max 5 jinton or so before he's too exhausted to jinton again - the jutsu takes massive chakra. With him wasting jinton trying to hit minato, and with minato easily closing the distance, oonoki wouldn't stand a chance. Flying isn't everything or else Oonoki and gaara would be gods; They'd lose to no one since they're one of the select few ninja that can fly, but that's not true. By that logic, Even sai should be some sort of S class ninja because you assume 'Flying out of range' is all it takes to defeat a Kage level shinobi... Please.

No idea what your third point is going on about. what would attracting kunai do? The idiot just brought the kunai closer to him. Moving kunai doesn't stop FtG, you just moved it away from it's intended target. Minato can still use FtG. And, Gamabunta. Minato isn't trapped on the ground, not even near.

How would he run out of seals? He taps things to make seals. Lolwut? His rasengan was perfected. It was 'incomplete' to the sense that it didn't have nature release implemented (which was the purpose of creating it). Rasengan on it's own is still a very powerful A rank technique capable of causing severe damage to any ninja who doesn't have some sort of armor. Any one taking a rasengan (without reducing the damage somehow) is going down for the count. Example, kabuto could hardly stand after taking a brand new, barely perfected base rasengan; And that's after healing. And, no, he didn't 'nearly' die to bee. That's just stupid. Nearly dying would be if bee attempted to lunge that sword into him and it hit. Minato would have simply Ftg'd away in that situation if he had IC. The fact is, minato's never been hit throughout the entire manga - excluding that plot moment with kurama

The kage had every right to worry. Minato was kage level. They risked dying just as much as he did if they fought him. Hiruzen was still a kage level shinobi of konoha. Any kage moron enough to go risk severe injury against minato would leave their village crippled since konoha's 3 sannin, and hokage hiruzen could all come walking in and take over with the village's strongest ninja gone.

Stop underestimating minato. He was still kage level. All these nonsense posts about 'xx could easily take out minato so they weren't scared' is equivalent to saying 'Oonoki could easily take out 3rd raikage, so why didn't he? he could've walked in the village and jinton'd him while in the air'

Kages usually don't interfere with their strategies just for one man...

But they ordered their fleets to stay away from Minato because he could wipe out entire platoons in mere seconds...

If Kages were to deal with Minato,
1- Hokage would also interfere...
2- Minato alone could severely damage any one of'em...(A huge disgrace)


So, Minato roamed freely in the whole war era since no village tried to assassinate him because,
Everyone knew... that he's frickin' Minato

Because he's a boss. He wasnt even Hokage at the time. He was just a regular dude from a regular village, yet he was intimidating enough to receive his very own flee-on-sight issue.

And nobody could defeat him anyway.

Off topic: I understand why Minato could be feared by the lower echelon jonin and chunin but call me crazy I don't think any ninja above Asuma's level would be just completely fodderized, and a multitude of those ninja could make the "yellow Flash" flash back home.

On topic: Of all the Kage at that time, I can only see the third raikage possibly dealing with Minato sheerly because of his "shield" of which I don't think Minato has shown anything that can penetrate that "shield" but in the same token the 3rd would have to catch Minato which I doubt he could despite being fast himself.

In other words, Minato couldn't hurt the 3rd raikage, but the 3rd couldn't catch Minato so it's kind of difficult to say who would win as no one has the advantage in this particular scenario.

Minato is overrated. Onoki flies and boom. Dust release with ridiculous range and huge range stomp minato. Third Raikage roflstomp minato. Talking bout one of the most powerful defense that can't be penetrabable by bijuu dama and rasenshuriken,one of the most powerful naruto's offensive jutsu. What Minato have to beat the third raikage, and oonoki? FTG? lawl.

Not like if the 3rd Raikage did not get owned by the normal Rassengan, right? LOOOL

****
in topic, Minato was the Hokage and he fought A & B together
A more likely was the raikage as well, since minato said in their next encounter
they will fight as kage. You can see that in chapter 519

Minato was a beast and his defense was too hax. It was probably too much trouble to confront the guy as he can Teleport and leave the scene instantly. Not only that, he also was some what of a sensor with his kunai, you couldn't get the drop on the guy.

Okay then. I'll help you out.

They're not odama rasengans, but they're a tad bit bigger than normal rasengans, and they pack a bigger punch.


That'd be impossible since they'd never be able to hit him.

I clearly have a different definition for the word massive. :D

It's not customary for Kages to fight on the battlefield. They remain in the village to organise the war effort, plan future strategies and tactics, organise and allocate resources, etc. And they remain in the village to protect it.

So unless the enemy is right outside the village's gates, I doubt any Kage would fight on the battlefield.

Minato was still a Jounin during the Third Shinobi World War. Hiruzen didn't fight, if you noticed, and though obviously past his prime, he was probably still rather decent.

Your question is illogical. Why would the Kage come out just to fight Minato. That's counter-productive. The Kage is the military leader, as is the POTUS. Would Obama have gone out to kill Kim Jong Un? What happens if their kage dies? They need a new leader and need to brief him on everythinng during the war. Don't think too much.

And the kages do fight in the wars, third raikage fought an army of 10000

He did that because the entire army was moving away form the 10,000. It's likely they were out matched. 3rd Raikage sacrificed himself to make sure his village was not destroyed right there. Lets use logic here people... :|

I have never seen a Hiruzen hater. EVER.
Just because some people, including me, think that he is probably the weakest kage ever doesn't mean that I'd actually hate him.

Minato could easily escape from them if disadvantaged.

I'm sure he retreated more than a few times during wartime (whether being outnumbered, tired, etc.)
