minato never did that... and in tobirama's case what you are suggesting slows him down... lets say minato teleports right at enemy and attacks while tobirama teleports little far away and then uses shunshin... which one will be difficult to detect and faster??
Madara Reacted To Both Of Them But Minato Was Going Against Juubi Jin Madara While Tobirama Was Going Against SM Madara...So I Think Kishi Wanted To Tell Us That Minato's Attack Was Faster...

Your're putting it in perspective.
1. Tobirama throws the kunai
2. Tobirama starts moving forward
3. FTGs to Kunai
4. Grabs it and uses the force of him moving+the force of the kunai moving for a greater, faster strike than if he just threw the kunai or tried to run at the opponent.

FTG isn't useless because he got to Madara faster than he would have if he tried to run or use Shunshin.

okay now i get it... well that's a good theory but question remains that that motion forward made tobirama lose as it made him lose balance, also he still shouldn't have held kunai behind him even if he moved forward before teleporting...... but i have to say that's a good theory... what do you think about mine??

edit: one more question.. if tobirama just intended to do what you suggested then wouldn't just ftg lvl 1 have sufficed??if he used ftg lvl 2 that means kunai was flying behind madara and was about to hit him when tobirama intercepted... right? and that seems kinda dumb to intercept a kunai that could have hit... as we have seen shinobi killing others with kunai thrown from a distance....

you don't know how much i liked to just read your comment but till it's manga fact, it can't be proven... and also if tobirama just intended to get near madara then he could have simply used ftg not ftg lvl 2... don't you think??

He Didn't Have Any Marking On Madara That's Why He Used A Marked Kunai...If He Had Marking On Madara's Body He Would've Blitz Him...

Tobirama didn't lose his balance Lol. He thrusted his arm forwards, putting all his power in the strike.

yeah if that had hit then it was fine but when it didn't, his arm was stretched forward while he himself moved into madara making it easy for madara to intercept.... but that's not the main point of thread... so lets get to the point...

It Doesn't Matter Cause If He Would've Teleported To A Stationary Kunai Madara Would Still Had Time To React Cause SM Madara Has Better Reflexes Than Tobirama...The Only Way To Blitz Madara Was A Marking On His Body...

yeah i know, i'm not saying that he could have hit with a stationary kunai but giving reasons why ftg lvl 2 seems inappropriate.... another thing is that tobirama also used hirashingiri against izuna and he used a sword now i can't see a sword thrown by him at izuna... can you?? i meann it's kinda funny... XD

but we didn't see him throwing kunai there too... now he may have already marked izuna but we don't know that either as in that case he may have a mark on madara as well...

In The Anime He Used A Marked Kunai But It Wasn't Canon...He Must Likely Marked Izuna Via A Simple Touch When He Gets Close...Tobirama's Rival Was Izuna We Never Saw Him Fight Madara...

but the nature of attack was same... attack on madara and izuna was executed the same way... so either he had marked both or none of them... also tobirama was pressing forward in izuna's case as well showing clear signs of shunshin...
