Was Minato using FTG or Body Flicker?

It kinda looked like Body Flicker with the smoke and all. And if it is Minato deserves respect for using Body Flicker in such a way it looks like FTG.

 

[ChicagoJhawk]

Didn't he use the kunai he gave to kakashi to teleport?

 

[The Necromancer]

It could have been either.

The manga 100% doesn't give a **** about whether they call teleportation techniques by their name, teleportation, or shunshin. And because Kakashi has that marked kunai, it could have either been FTG or Shunshin.

 

[Illuminater]

Its clearly flying thunder god. Minato is a hokage. Of course he is fast. But he is not very fast. His true speed comes from his teleportation technique.

Yeah it could be other. But if I had to bet my cash is on Shunshin, FTG doesn't create "poof" smoke lol

 

[Magnolius]

Minato isn't fast, his technique are. He's probably lethargic from using FTG to get around all the time.

 

[Chaosmark101]

Believe he used Shunshin there

 

[Rikudou Tobi]

I thought Kakashi had Minato's knife?

Well you have to have fast reflexes to move fast. Especially if moving so fast nobody notices at first.

 

[YellowFang]

That was FTG... It does look like Body-flicker.
And Minato's speed appreciation comes from his base speed from which he earned his 'YellowFlash' moniker...

I won't go into an argument because it had already been established couple of years ago on NB. Though, people still might go against it...

 

[Pyro NB]

I believe it was FTG

So it was Shunshin he used in this panel?

Would make sense if it was. I dont think its possible to teleport and mark someone at the same time, judging by the lack of feats by it anyway.

I think Shunshin bcus of smoke and the different is clear after that(after he put the FTG seal on feet). He went back to previous nin very fast without any smoke produced there hence it clearly FTG

 

[BlacLord™]

FTG.

Think about it. The distance between Kakashi's Chidori arm and the enemy was too small for Minato to "run in" between them. Using FTG, he can control exactly where, and how he jumps to without having to go through any obstacles.

Also note that Minato is faced away from the enemy and Kakashi, not towards as if he'd dashed to Kakashi.

Yeah, true.

Besides the fodder shinobi only realized it was the famous Yellow Flash after he used FTG, not Shunshin.

 

[Gerkak]

Body flicker

 

[-immortal-]

It was FTG right?

 

[Styles]

It was Shunshin after that he tagged the fodder then used FTG and soloed him.
