First things first, what is the true definition of a summoning technique?
I'm not hating or trying to downplay his feats or w/e but honestly since when does a person need a seal to teleport?Notice how Obito doesn't need a seal and all he does is de-materialize and re-materialize? Even Obito's teleportation takes some time even if it is just a couple of seconds, but Minato's is instant(just like a summoning?) he uses reverse summoning to "teleport" form place to place. Which is why his kunai's have seals in them.
A normal summoning seal
FTG's summoning seal
I believe that Minato has his own special seals in order to use his reverse summoning.
Where I'm going with this thread is that Minato's FTG isn't teleportation but it is reverse summoning. Even if you go on Obito's kamui page on the wikia(I know anyone can change the wikia but still) it says Kakashi Hatake likens the characteristics of this technique to those of Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, but notes that it seems to be much more versatile since it requires neither a seal nor a summoning tattoo to be performed.
