Who is better, Namikaze Minato or orochimaru?

Orochimaru is better in the early stage and Namikaze Minato is better in the later stage.

First of all, in the early days, orochimaru was one of the three young ninjas who were equally famous with Jiraiya. At that time, Namikaze Minato was only a disciple of Jiraiya, and his strength was only forbearance, but orochimaru had forbearance.

Second, in the later period, Namikaze Minato learned about the strong endurance of Yuluo Pill and Huangshan, and his strength was already comparable to that of orochimaru.

Third, when Namikaze Minato gained the power of Kyubi no Youko, orochimaru was no longer able to confront the Feng Shui Gate. This is why Namikaze Minato is better.
