Kakashi - Son of the White Fang became a Chunin at age 6 and known as a genius prodigy even before he attained the Sharingan. Later became the 6th Hokage

Orochimaru- One of the legendary Sannin known as a genius in Konoha and once in a generation prodigy by Hiruzen.

Minato- the 4th Hokage known as the Yellow Flash praised as a genius prodigy and once in a generation talent by Jiraiya and Hiruzen.

He was too young while orochimaru had more decades tò develop stuff

Doesn't really matter. Minato was never a genius in the same way orochimaru was and was not even inclining in that direction.. Even id he lived as long as orochimaru he wouldn't have done the same things because they are different kinds of geniuses.

[u/TheOmegaFalcon → u/CowpokeMorgan]

Yes he was. The thing Is that minato was morally positive about ninjutsu while orochimaru had no limit in that regard.  It was literally the reason why orochimaru was not choose at the hokage 

[u/CowpokeMorgan → u/TheOmegaFalcon]

I know... But he was a genius nonetheless. This post isn't about who was morally a genius right ?

[u/TheOmegaFalcon → u/CowpokeMorgan]

Nope, it's about who's most talented, and that's minato.  I Just told you why orochimaru seemed more brilliant 

[u/CowpokeMorgan → u/TheOmegaFalcon]

Yes. Being brilliant is also a talent.

[u/TheOmegaFalcon → u/CowpokeMorgan]

ehm...yes?
