The title pretty much says it all. Itachi's says that if delt with calmly you cam find weakness in any enemy, and that no jutsus perfect, they all have a weakness.

So, find a weakness guys, good luck :win:

The fact that you can only teleport to predetermined destinations, other than that it really doesn't have any

As long as you know where the user will teleport to, you can kill him. Also, if you teleport to a person, he can still you if he's fast enough

You need to mark your enemy or get a marked object or a your chakra near them. Thats pretty much it. And apparently the chakra requirement increases proportionately to the size of the object to be teleported.

Useless if you can't kill the target

Like I said last time people will do anything to nerf Minato.
I'm not submitting to false bs.
FTG is the ultimate jutsu, speed plus genuineness is one hell of a combo.

Minato is top 5-10

If Minato/Tobirama can't mark the target and if Minato's kunai are broken, besides that it's pretty much flawless

I doubt a person could react if he teleported to them. Its instant. If the said person knows that he'll teleport to them, the most they could hope for is a stalemate, like B did.

I may be the only one in NB- no, EARTH, that thinks this, but FTG is-
a really overestimated and over-hyped technique. Vs any reasonable ninja, the jutsu should be used against Minato every single time. It's a good tech, but no-where near as good as hyped. Any skilled ninja should be able to, with relative ease, counter and defeat the jutsu. I'm convinced the only reason it's so effective is because of plot. I'll quickly list some reasons~

- Throwing a kunai? Really? Deflect the kunai maybe? How about chuck it? Destroy it? Or maybe just keep you eye on it!!!! Your a ninja! If someone throws some kunai, AVOID THE KUNAI. Your a ninja, not a turtle (no pun intended). You have no excuse for being caught by surprise from a kunai that was lying by that tree the whole battle.

- THROWING? Wow, wait a sec, this is a problem first of all. I think people forget that the user has to REACH into their pouch, throw it, and it actually has to travel. Frankly, the time that takes to happen is plenty for any half-fast ninja to move. They dodge stuff like this all the time, why is is that Minato's kunai magically move so fast?

I don't feel liek bringing up the others right now. My point is simply that the jutsu, 2/3 times (Minato is smart, and uses it very well, but still), is predictable. In addition, it's actually slow, not fast, due to the fact it has to be thrown. I truly believe the real problem is when anyone within a mile is so stricken by fear of the Yellow Flash's reputation, they crap their pants and can't ninja properly, and die.
let the -reps begin ;_;

Before the -reps comes debunking your arguments. Minato is in no way slow with the ****ing kunai. Did you see how quickly he had the ground marked against A and B? Well, scratch that. It was a bad example. Do you know how quick one has to be with a kunai to take and throw it behind the back of the fastest character in NV on foot when he is only millimeters away from making a pulp out of your freaking face? Really and i mean really fast.

Now, I don't know if you're playing ignorant or what. The whole purpose of throwing the kunai is for them to dodge and get off-guard, when Minato will pop up in literally an instant somewhere within the teleportation radius of the kunai. i.e along with the instant, there is also the unpredictability factor which makes FTG all the more dangerous. He can grab the kunai from the top mid-flight, he can appear under the kunai, he can appear just in front of the kunai, or to the side of the kunai, and in an instant. Furthermore, Minato reflexes are shown to be next to none in the manga. He was able to react to someone even a fully developed sharingan user was unable to when he was millimeters from his face. That combined with something that allows you to move faster than light, and faster than anything else in the world, its spells OP. Minato can move mid flight to a kunai, if someone even so much as think of deflecting the kunai, Minato can teleport to the kunai, move it from the path of the person whose about to deflect it and slice his neck before he blinks. Frankly, FTG is under-estimated and under-hyped because its not a mountain busting jutsu.

No justu is above everything else.

The ftg needs has a destination.
It needs a certain amount of chakra depending on the mass being transported.


You can set traps over the entire vicinity instead of trying to specifically target their exact destination.

And since it is instant minato will have no time to react if you have an explosion timed to his arrival.

The chances are slim but,the chance is still there.

Just a disclaimer here:
Please don't think I'm trying to hate on Minato. He's among my favorite character is Naruto. I like his attitude, his mind, his genius, heck, he even looks cool! And I'm particularly fond of his fighting style. Before he even existed, I once thought of the idea of a ninja who use teleporting knives to fight. Only difference, mine used taijutsu and knife fighting- but Minato is still a boss. I appreciate the guy, I really do. I'm just trying to be, in my opinion, however faulty, reasonable :l

As for my response:
(1st paragraph)
This is why I said I believe Kishi amped him up. In Kishi's world, yeah he's strong. But in Kishi's world, Rock Lee was did better in 1-2 years than in 3-4. A bunch of edos and Senju-empowered-zetsu lose to the less numbered and out-powered ninja world. Juubi/Juubito lost to the ninja Alliance. Madaara didn't kill the kages. Neji didn't air palm / rotation the spike instead of jumping to it. Despite being on/close to Kakshi and Guy and K11 levels of rank, they all are academy level in battle. And I could on and on, those are just off the top of my head. Kishi's world isn't always reasonable, cause he's human like the rest of us.
And honestly, have we forgotten the speed of Raikage? Have we forgotten??? The dude can bltiz reasonably anyone. At the speed the anime/manga showed him moving, it is literally impossible for Minato to have taken out a kunai, and thrown it before A moves like 1cm. Heck, to move that fast the kunai owuld've had to like burn from friction. I don't have time to get down into it, but really, it's noteworthy Minato could even see him and react at all, and I'm personally (just my opinion) am convinced that the only reason he did what he did was due to plot-speed-boost. And even if by some miracle, assuming Minato can move his hands faster than A can move 1cm, a kunai isn't faster than A.

(2nd paragraph)
The ninja are faster than kunai- at least most of them. And any analytical ninja should be able to be wary of the kunai 100% of the time, and stay from it's radius. My point is really this: FTG itself isn't that bad. What maes it bad is when a genius like Minato has it. What makes it OP is when he has reaction speed that [in my opinion] literally isn't real, and everyone else seems to dumb down to it.

But hey you know what, maybe I'm wrong :D It was just my 2cents lol. Thanks for the intelligent response btw. I didn't structure mine to well as I'm rushing to bed, but oh well :I
