Misconception: The myth about Minato's Kunai

[Blaze Release]

I usually like to just ignore posts but when i see the same misconception pop up everything, i feel its time to say something. This is in relation to what happened during the encounter between A, B and cloud fodders against Minato and leaf fodders, when minato was about to 'penetrate' A with his kunai.

Ill explain. We saw that sasuke's chidori cut clean through the 8 tails tentacles with ease;

Now minato's kunai didnt even, yes didnt even fully cut through the 8 tails tentacles;

This alone should tell you that sasuke's chidori >>>> minato's kunai by feats.

Now alot of people say minato has wind element and run his wind chakra into the kunai, but there are many things wrong with this. Firstly Wind > lightning. If the kunai indeed infused with wind chakra it would accomplish the same feat sasuke's lightning based attack did yet it didnt. It didnt have the penetrating abilities.

Now ill show you the penetrating abilities of a wind infused tool.
Asuma as we all know is a wind element and runs his chakra into his knife to increase the penetration abilities. Easily cut hidans head off;

Yet sasuke's chidori hardly got passed A's skin and left a little mark. Even A was surprised that sasuke was able to leave a mark on him;

Chidori sphere > juugo's blast > kunai
The kunai, like the chidori and juugo's blast wouldnt have left a mark on him. The reason bee 'saved' him is because it was instinct. He saw a kunai being aimed at his brother, he would intervene, thats normal.

Now i dont want this to turn into a flame war or people saying nagative stuff about a character, becasue Minato did best A, but i needed to clear the misconception about the kunai

You said Wind > Lightning but that's only when they face off. Not really relevant to what you were saying. I agree but just pointing that out.

People say minato's kunai was wind infused. If thats the case it should accomplish the same penetrating abilities as sasuke's lightning technique and it didnt and wind is stronger than lightning

Wind is strong against lightning, not stronger than lightning.

 

[Urda]

It is known to me. Maybe some did not know. It is good to help many understand though. However, you would have many to think other-wise. Thank you for pointing it out.

 

[Blaze Release]

Wind is strong against lightning, not stronger than lightning.

If the same level technique was to meet, wind would come out on top therefore yes its stronger
Anyway that isnt what this thread is about

 

[Sir Blades]

sasuke sliced bees tentacle, and minato was going to stab A. theres a difference in power, so that statement is not true.

No it's not stronger.

 

[Izzy..]

I knew this already. Besides how do we even know he uses wind? Because of Naruto? Baseless accusations.

Thank you Blaze for the enlightening thread even though I doubt he used any element to injure Bee.

And like blacdeofchaos360 mentioned, their intentions were different. Minato was just trying to get them to give up to avoid a much worse confrontation. He is not the type to do things without a reason. Jiraiya has said as such. MiInato isn't stupid to want to KILL them. He was trying to prove a point and avoid an ugly situation that might lead to more trouble down the road.

 

[iknowwhotobiis]

thanks for clearing it up. Most ppl do indeed claim minato kunai would have killed A. I am still skeptical about his kunai being infused with wind. If it was he sucks at it.

Technically, you right. However, the kunia was his costumed made FTG Kunia, similarities of a regular kunia, but heavier.

Even if the kunia was to strike, it was unknown if Minato infuse his Wind chakra into it. Their is no proof in the Manga of him doing such. So it comes back to his misconception of Minato's kunia with FTG. Would it be able to cut throw the Raikage's (A) Raiton Armor? No.

I am sure you seen the Raiton Armor still activated by the Raikage (A) in the picture before Minato was about to strike and Killer's Bee interference with his tentacle.

i agree that minatos kunai was not infused with wind, to be honest this is the first time i hear that minato had wind chakra kunais.ive never said that he had wind kunais.

I dont thing you understand what im trying to say. Ignore the motive and look at what im trying to say

EDIT: Some people do believe that minato infused his wind chakra (they have secret pages to the manga that nobody else has) and thats why i used asuma as an example.

 

[Sir Blades]

explain to me what your trying to say.

 

[Blaze Release]

explain to me what your trying to say.

. I thought it was clear. If the op doesnt make sense i dont know how i can make it even simpler.

Look at it this way. chidori > juugo blast > kunai.

understood. i was just point out something that caught my attention and decided to give my opinion upon the point i had mentioned before.xd

Secret Pages? OK. <LOL> That is proof of Asuma infusing chakra and not Minato exactly. If Minato was seen infusing his chakra then their would be chakra emitting from his kunia right before he strike the Raikage (A). In the Manga, is not shown but a regular kunia striking.

I know. We can only see visual proof from the Anime. However, until then, theirs is no proof of Minato infusing his Wind chakra in the kunia.

 

[NarutoKage2]

Who has ever said that Minato had wind infused kunai?

This has'nt been stated anywhere. As for the cutting part, the kunai did clearly cut the tentacle, you'd have to be blind not to see that. At the most, the dissected part was just barely connected to the main tentacle. And no duh chidori cut through more cleanly, its chidori, that was just a kunai lol. But this proves that either:
- there was something special about Minato's kunai
- Minato had immense physical strength.

Also, no other character has been shown to achieve such results of physical penetration with such a simple ninja tool(w/o an element infusion). This is why Minato is OP: using simple tools/methods, and producing devastating results on his enemies.

 

[AlexRG23]

I agree, but to add to the Minato was not using wind element on his kunai; it seems as though that was their first meeting. I mean he didn't even know bee was a perfect jinchuriki, so then I'm saying he didn't know the abilities of A's raiton armor. So Minato did a very basic, simple attack to see what would occur, he did not want to waste chakra.

Thats just what I believe though, I mean he doesn't do things without good reason right? xd
