Itachi : "Every jutsu had its own weakness"

Flying Thunder God Technique

To activate this technique, the user needs a special seal or "technique formula" (術式, jutsu-shiki) to mark the destination. After this is done, the user enters a dimensional void which instantaneously transports them to the location of the seal.

How To Counter It?

Through my extensive reading, i encounter FTG has a certain tendencies towards these 3 main condition and plus 1 bonus way to get out of it.

1) Height - FTG never reaches top of the high tree or roof top.

2) Water - I never reads any submerged enemy exposed to FTG target

3) Speed - Shinobi with decent or same speed as the FTG user can counter it

4) Bonus escape : Run to distance, another weakness of FTG is it couldn't reach maximum distance.


p.s - This is just my theory, dont hate me for this :D Thanks for reading.

Even if Minato does get countered and put into trouble, he can just teleport home and then back to the battlefield when necessary.

I do not think you can dodge it with speed, but I like your theories!

1. But no one had ever fight him on the top of the tree?
2. No water-element guy has fought Minato before?
3. Atleast A didnt die.
4. Yup, if you're a shinobi, you better prepare something to encounter FTG right? If you dont, you better run :D

Best counter to it: flee on sight and hope Minato don't see you/don't have killing intent/don't have any tags near your position.

1.just because it has happened doesn't mean it can't it's pretty obvious it can.
2.Not to our knowledge, but same situation as 1.
3. A didn't die But he didn't beat him.
4.Yay we agree xD

None of that's plausible as there is a substantial lack of evidence in your theory and as GenKiDama stated.... but nice try

I love it when people provide no proof for anything they say but on the flip side tell you theyve done extensive research so its ok...

Ftg has one weakness. It needs seals. If you remain away from seals, you win.

Quite the fallacious theory, too much relied upon the argument from ignorance.
Therefore, the second part isn't necessarily valid.​
