Myth

Kal in all honesty you're not wrong but his point about minato directing something behind the enemy is valid. Minato did say "i have to send this thing away from the village" meaning he could have transported it anywhere he wanted to.

It's common sense from that line alone that he could had it appear behind the kyuubi however because it was in close proximity to the village he didn't.

I will still say however it'd be a long shot for him
To beat hashirama unless of course he tags hashirama then its over for sure no jutsu can catch up with the speed of light but, the odds are against minato in a fight with hashirama.

It'd still be one hell of a fight though but as i said before, minato and hashirama are worlds apart.

Minato is a swift kill ninja he looks for ways to end your life as quickly and as easily as possible his intellect hasn't been matched in this manga no one that we've seen closest one would be Itachi imo.

Hashirama is more geared for long battles as seen from him lots of flashy jutsu his style is better suited for an all out assualt.

And both shinobi can without a doubt tank a whole army however it'd be easier for hashirama to do so as minato would need ppl to throw his kunai in the open while hashirama can summon some crazy shit as seen from this chapter.


But in an open plane hashirama would Have his hands full as well any lare scale attack he throws would be directed back at him and a close combat fight against minato is useless that'd be like walking into death itself.

So it's hard to say who'd win odds are against minato but minato could
Beat him if he just touches him once. And to say someone like minato wouldn't touch hashirama once is just stupid.

So here it is random meet up hashrama loses 10/10 times cause how would he know about minato being able to tag u. However in a ight where both know each others abilities hashirama would probably win everytime.

I hope this stupid child flashback doesn't last to long.
