**Stamina:** Superhuman (He has a considerable amount of chakra in his base form. He has higher reserves of chakra with Kurama) nigh-unlimited as an Edo Tensei

**Range:** Standard melee range. Several dozen meters with ranged attacks and teleportation.

**Standard Equipment:**

* Flying Thunder God Kunai
* Kunai
* Shuriken
* Paper Bombs

**Intelligence:** Above Average (Held in very high regard for his combat prowess and skill. He created the Rasengan by observing a Tailed Beast Bomb.)

**Weaknesses:** He hasn't mastered the sage arts, as it takes too long for him to build up natural chakra, and he has a severely limited amount of time with it. Thus, sage mode should be irrelevant in any match-up unless Minato starts in that form .

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Rasengan:** A sphere of chakra energy that can create a massive explosion and damage the inside of a target. Needs to be within melee range to use it. Minato invented this technique after he studied how Bijuudama works.

* **Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique):** It is a space-time ninjutsu that allows the summoner to gather animals or people across long distances instantly. Minato can summon frogs, such as Gamabunta.

* + **Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique):** A teleportation technique created by Tobirama Senju. To activate this technique, the user needs a special seal to mark the destination. After this is done, the user enters a dimensional void that instantaneously transports themselves to the location of the seal. Minato applied the formula in advance to weapons such as distinctive kunai, and can also apply the mark to a touched area, such as his opponent (The seal never disappears) or some other surrounding feature. Minato can also use this technique to teleport other objects (warped the Juubi's bijuu bomb without problems), though the size of the object determines the amount of chakra required.

* + **Jikukan Kekkei (Space-Time Barrier):** Using a kunai with a Hiraishin seal, Minato can form a barrier that will teleport away incoming attacks directed at it to another Hiraishin seal at his choosing (basically the same as Hiraishin, only applied to something other than himself). He can divert away attacks as powerful as a Biju Bomb from Kurama.

* **Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques):** A type of jutsu that seal objects, living beings, chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within another object.

* + **Shiki Fūjin (Sealing Jutsu: Reaper Death Seal):** A seal that invokes the power of the "death god". Once called upon, the death god hovers behind the user and wraps its left arm with prayer beads, which causes a seal to appear on it. The death god's arm extends from their chest and grabs the soul of the target, immobilizing them, at which time the victim can see the death god as well. At the user's command, the death god then performs the sealing, consuming the souls of the user and the sealed, sentencing them to be locked in combat within its stomach for all eternity.

* + **Four Symbols Seal:** The sealing formula is carved into a human body or an object, and is mainly used when a giant enemy or evil spirit needs to be sealed. To use it, the user must have remarkable natural skills.

* + **Contract Seal:** When the user implements this technique on a summoner, it removes any direct control the summoner has over a summoned creature.

* **Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique):** A high-speed movement technique, accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalize the body and move in a short burst of enhanced speed.

* **Chakra Transfer Technique:** Can transfer his chakra to other people, or people close to him.

* **Jinchuriki Forms and Abilities:** Due to sealing the yin half of Kurama into him before he died, Minato has access to the Yin half of Kurama's power.

* + **Kyubi Chakra Mode:** The first form Minato displayed. It seems to be a mix between Naruto's humanoid Biju Mode and his Kyubi Chakra Mode, and thus enables him to fully transform into Kurama.

* + **Biju Mode:** After Naruto managed to convince Yin Kurama to make his presence known, Kurama granted Minato the ability to fully transform into a darker shaded version of Naruto's full Biju Form. In this form, he can use gigantic Rasengans and can even do the Bijudama alongside Naruto.

* + - **Bijudama (Tailed Beast Ball):** A ratio of black and white chakra at a factor of 8:2. When stabilized, the Bijudama can be launched as a ball of chakra with explosive force.

* **Sennin Mode (Sage Mode or Hermit Mode):** The result of using natural energy along with a ninja’s chakra in perfect balance to drastically empower their abilities.
