I've been wondering about the overall mechanics of FTG for a while now, and this was a big question to me. Could Minato just keep throwing his kunai higher into the air (or up and then in a straight line to stay on a proper path) and then repetitively teleport to it, causing him to essentially fly?

I believe it took great concentration, and chakra control just to FTG to a kunai airbourne.. I have no doubt in my mind that he couldn't perform such, however it would be limited in my opinion.. Still good theory and analysis on Minato's FTG for that I'll give you a +rep.

Yeah he could.

He'd look extremely ridiculous doing so though... xd

Interesting concept....but given who he was, I wouldn't doubt it to be plausible, although probably impractical.

Yeah he could but lack of oxygen the higher he goes would eventually get to him.. so not to smart but effective

No the Kunai would be pulled down by gravity by the time he gets another one out of his pouch.

When did i say it did? Minato can teleport to the kunai, grab it, throw it ahead of himself, and repeat the process. I know that much for a fact, i'm just wondering if it'd work to sustain airborne travel.

Yeah he could but lack of oxygen the higher he goes would eventually get to him.. so not to smart but effective

Well, i didn't mean in a completely ridiculous way such as rising to incredibly high altitudes, i was thinking more on the fact of just sustaining travel in the air but you make a good point.

Same as what i said to the last guy, you don't need to pull out another, just grab the one that's right in front of you

Sure. But in the manga or anime I don't think he ever teleported to a kunai AS SOON AS he threw it before it hit anything. At least it never showed it. The kunai always hit something before he teleported to it.

Sounds possible to me. He's got the reaction time and chakra control that would require.

What about when he threw it through Obito when they fought?
