FTG weakness?

Hey guys, first of all let me start this by clarifying that I do adore Minato as a character - in fact he's one of my favourite Naruto characters. I really am not flaming him in any way. However, I see a lot of people posting how very invinsible he is(mainly thanks to FTG), which, imo, is just not true.
Now this is my theory - I believe FTG has one major weakness and that is the paper seals wrapped around the kunai Minato is using. As we all know paper is susceptible to fire - which means that if Minato throws his kunai on the ground, like he usually does (as seen in the battle with the Raikage) and if there is a skilled katon user, that said person can bathe the field in a giant fireball and the seals would just burn off (or say the Mizukage throws up a field of lava f.e.). Since Minato's kunai stock isn't endless, I'd say he'd run out of FTG kunai before the enemy runs out of chakra (and thus fire jutsus). Of course he can mark any surface with his seal, but as long as the enemy knows which the marked surfaces are, they can expect him. What do you think, is this theory valid? Can FTG be cancelled out like that?

its weakness is that is too baws if that is one

true weakness is that you need a mark someone or the kunai to be there

I don't think it's paper seals...Just appears to be. It just a seal on a grip of a kunai.

FTG's only "weakness" is that it can only be used to the seals which is placed.

You would have to mark something. If he cannot effiecently mark something , then that is crippled

I don't think its paper seals i think the seals are inscribed on to the kunais themselves

Lmao. It's not paper seal anyway. Glad that none said fire would melt kunai. Also he is not invinsible

:sy: *Understand why you said such a stupid comment*

lol Susanoo can't stop someone travelling in another S/T. Danzo was able to get around Susanoo (Isn't he like 70+ years old)...So can Minato...:sy:

Minato dosent need his kunai for his jutsu to work. He can mark places and things with a touch. But this can also be the flaw of this jutsu. If he marks someone and they create shadow clones the mark in theory would also be replicated. So when he warps to the mark he can't be in multiple places at once.. and could end up poofing a clone. Just a theory tho.
