Moment of Awesome: Minato defeating one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist by finding an effective use for the Hirashin.
Minato's awesome escape from a Kumo base after being captured and held for ransom. Made all the more awesome by the fact that he spends about half his time in the base snarking at everyone around him.
Minato and Sakumo fighting off a pack of Suna ninja while escaping the village. Ambushed, in close quarters, in darkness, in hostile territory, they still manage to tear through everything that's thrown at them and get away with barely a scratch.
Kushina gets one in Chapter 24 when she single-handedly defeats a giant anteater summon by using a Whirlpool Sealing technique.
In the same battle, Minato going full One-Man Army against an entire company of Iwa ninja with Hiraishin. It's the first time we see the Yellow Flash going all out for a fight, and it leaves no doubts about why Iwa developed a crippling fear of facing the man on the field.
Kushina fighting an Orichimaru-possessed Minato and then making the Sannin flee.
