Flying Thunder God Technique not all it's cracked up to be

[Anbu Shinobi]

well now that i think of it oro does have a lot of knowledge on sealing and he is powerful and i think the 3rd didnt choose him not because 4th was stronger but oro was dealing with donzo in alot of black operation the 3rd didnt really approve of, not to say 4th wouldnt win but that would be a good fight Anbu Intel!!!!!

 

[Mr.Beastie]

I don't remember Minato having to do hand signs for his FTG, so unless you have proof he does you point is invalid there. You didn't input the fact that Minato can summon toads to his aid. As for Minato's chakra, we saw him using a high level sealing jutsus on kushina while she was having Naruto so he was using alot of chakra to hold Back the fox. We don't know if Minato have fire, wind, water, earth, or lightning jutsus or if he can use sage mode since he can summon toads and surpassed Jiraiya. Ninjas were told to flee if they saw Minato in the war with the rock ninjas which is where we see Minato teleported between his kunias and take out multiple enemies. Here's a question, why couldnt the rock ninjas use jutsus or throw their kunias at minato's to counter when they had a army of them?

there was too many of them to fight minato.With a lot of people minato causes a lot of confusion and kills a lot people. It is kind of better to have one or two people to fight minato.

Magnetism guy can magnitize an area and all the kunais fly there aka its a rap for minato.

i said the same thing but that would only work on the kunai he can mark other object as well so that wouldnt just end the battle to stop the ftg attack the seal then (its a wrap)for that tech that is Anbu Intel!!!!

Flying Thunder God Technique

This jutsu was created by Minato Namikaze, and quite possibly the reason behind his nickname, "Konoha's Yellow Flash" (木ノ葉の黄色い閃光 Konoha no Kīroi Senkō). It allows the user to move himself to another location in the blink of an eye. Although it is often compared with the Body Flicker Technique, the speed of this jutsu is much greater. In principle, this jutsu is similar to the Reverse Summoning Technique, as it revolves around manipulation of time and space rather than accelerated movement, but instead of bringing something to users, it sends them somewhere. Additionally, it makes no noise and produces no puff of smoke, allowing the user to appear behind someone unnoticed.

To activate this jutsu, the user needs a special seal or "jutsu formula" (術式, jutsu-shiki) to mark the destination. After this is done, the user enters a dimensional void that almost instantaneously transport himself to the location of the seal. Minato applied the formula in advance to weapons such as kunai. By giving one such kunai to a person, he can immediately teleport to that person at any time. He can also apply the mark to a touched area, such as his opponent or some other surrounding feature.

Furthermore, if an object marked with the seal may touch the ground, Minato will immediately know the position of everyone close to the object. This technique also possesses surveillance purposes as he can continuously sense where anyone is as long as the seal is on them. No matter where an opponent is, he arrived directly next to them. The jutsu is also very unique because it requires no use of chakra, due to a special secondary seal that emits the same chakra as him, allowing him to have an instant connection to the area.

There is all to the FTG, this thread maker didint notice that FTG doesn't consume any chakra. But it does require a seal OR a FORMULA to activate the teleportation. If someone dont know what formula is, go google it

Theres been many people saying that FTG is insta death but it isnt true. Example minato could touch a plastic C4 clone that Deidara uses and then minato uses FTG and goes into a trap and kaboom hes confused

Anyway Minato is dead so we never know how strong he was

 

[jay1990]

What about the fact that minato is a genius in space-time jutsu, his reflexes are off the charts, he has mastered that FTG technique, that you made seem so simple, can defeat an whole army with that same technique in a split second, not even the sharingan can keep up with that type of speed, it's a hand to hand combat skill, he don't need hand seal for it because it's instant movement, his a calculating genius and is known for his strategic capabilities and even at his normal speed it's hard to keep up with him, even the third hokage figured him to be a hand full in a battle, ninjas retreated on the battlefield at his sudden appearance, sorry but I think you lost this battle.

i've been saying the same thing i guess great mind do think alike lol Anbu Intel!!!!

But didnt sasuke defeat a army of sound ninja without even killing them and he had no ftg i thought and yeah the sharingan my not be able to follow it the first time but a incomplete sharingan caught on to the crystal ice mirror jutsu the more its in uses thats the power of the sharingan is to see thing like this Shisui was know for teleportion too so on what grounds can you say a uchiha couldnt be capable of reacting to this and Uchiha had lots of rep they were know by all and fear by all and in a one on one fight vs a uchiha you are to run as well lady chiyo words Anbu Intel!!!!!!

Sound ninja are weaker than the Anbu!!!!!lol

 

[Dodai]

THIS thread went so far

 

[Kakashi32693]

I agree with mookyuzamaki if his technique was that easily avoidable or stopped why was there a standing edict in battle if Minato showed up there everyone was supposed to flee. You don't get that kind of reputation from having a flawed ability

 

[regenade]

Lol FTG doesn't need chakra!

So explain to me why Minato stood toe to toe with Madara and made him flee. There are no flee on site orders for Madara or Sasuke.

 

[UchihaObito]

Okay the one thing your wrong about is "predictable" Most people only see it once and they dont even really see it because they die immediately afterwards, and i never saw him form hand seals when he dodged the Raikage's full speed attack. You cant just say obstruct the path of the kunai hes already thrown because he can teleport to those to get a better throwing angle, nothings just as simple as i can throw this many shuriken at your kunai and you lose. Shuriken and regular kunai are a throw and forget weapon people throw them and noone GAF about them, but with his he can teleport to one while hes throwing another one and its impossible to keep an eye on his movement and predict them with sharingan because you cant actually see his movement. If he is losing he can just teleport away to Kushina grab a sandwhich and come back to ambush you in 5 minutes. Everyone in the manga called him a genius with techniques and strategies he can always find another way to use his own techniques.

 

[Swizzik]

wtf! FTG NEEDS CHAKRA!

The Flying Thunder God Technique was a technique created by Minato Namikaze, allowing the user to transport himself to another location in the blink of an eye. It is quite possible that this technique is reason behind his nickname, "Konoha's Yellow Flash" (木ノ葉の黄色い閃光, Konoha no Kīroi Senkō). Although it is often compared with the Body Flicker Technique, the speed and range of this technique are much greater. In principle, this technique is similar to the Summoning Technique, as it revolves around the manipulation of time and space rather than accelerated movement, but instead of bringing something to users, it sends them somewhere. The technique is fast enough to even allow Minato to escape Madara's Space–Time Migration, despite the latter already being in physical contact with him. Minato can also use this technique to teleport other objects, such as when he used it to teleport the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox out of Konohagakure, though the size of the object determines the amount of chakra required

 

[Gajaraj]

There are two levels to FTG:

Level 1
Teleportation to a stationary object in the form of either a kunai or marked seal

Level 2
Teleportation to a moving object that is either a travelling kunai or a marked opponent

However, there are two glaring issues:

Kunai can be blocked

You must be registered for see links

You must be registered for see images

(I know the picture shows shuriken but the point is still the same)
This is to:

1. Stop Minato from teleporting near you
2. Create a distance between you and Minato so as to severely limit his speed

Granted he won't throw the kunai

You must be registered for see links

, but you can still thwart the path of the ones headed towards you. And stop them from landing behind you. This way you'd only need to be cautious of attacks originating in front of you

You can prepare a defense
Ex.

You must be registered for see links

You must be registered for see images

This is to:

1. Avoid being tagged
2. Defend against an attacking kunai or Rasengan

You can anticipate

1. FTG requires hand seal(s) - so monitor his hands and react accordingly
2. He'd obviously attempt to teleport to the kunai closest to you

Also:

1. FTG comes with a cost. It still eats your chakra
2. Minato has a limited supply of kunai

Ladies and gentlemen, we've defeated FTG (or at least created a sort of stalemate).

1. Minato can't harm you
2. Minato can't outpace you
3. Minato can't get near you

please, just stop with FTG = instant death
that isn't true, at least when it comes to jounin

Minato is overrated.

cool bro
but in practice it rarely possible

 

[kyndig15145]

Is the real thread Madara vs. Minato? If that is the question then who really knows? We know that Madara was impressed with Minato, he thrwarted his plans for the leaf and the NTs. While trying to protect the village, protect his dying wife, and preserve his new born child. We have NO idea what would have happened if Minato gave Madara his FULL attention in a fight. Madara was not at the level he was when he fought the First. Pervy Sage was on par with Madara if you ask me and he respected Minato power. We have to reassess all the powers that we now know.

My guide stick is the fact that no, I mean no one, wanted any part of Minato. He ended the war, not just with the FTGT, but with his overall badassness. One technique can not make anyone invincible. Every tech has a weakness.

Who knows who would have won in a straight up battle royal. I am just pissed off that they made Sarutobi such a weak punk. He fought 2 Kages and an S-level missing nin 15 years to a draw and he is a spectator against Minato and the NTs. That doesn't sit well with me at all.

That is what I think people should be up in arms about.

 

[kyndig15145]

Great point!!!

 

[Scorpio0Pharaoh0Titan]

Mix in sarutobi's shadow shuriken jutsu with FTG technique and you will NEVER know which one Minato will teleport too.

Also, something you have to note... you are stating that all these ninjutsu defneses such as sasuke's lightning barrier can prevent Minato from teleporting near you, but... what about minato's rasengan and his own ninjutsu?

and I am also sure he can create a clone of himself and get one in the lightning barrier, and use a rasengan to distract the enemy's defense... then use shadow shuriken and teleport himself to one that's aimed at the back of the enemy and just slice him in two.

the best defense is a good offense.. .and minato has one of the best advantages in his offensive abilities... instant teleportation.

 

[LTSanta]

You said that Sasuke to active his lightning shield to stop rasengan?

you know wind element beats lighting right? I know it doesnt say he is wind spec'd but you dont know he isnt, also he might not have been able to combine its full but may have created a smalled version like naruto first atempt.

so if he uses a wind element rasengan it wont work?
