he didn't have enough chakra to make more then 2 clones and even then he didn't have enough strenght left to fully pull orochimaru's soul out, if he had tried using it in his first move he probably could have sealed all 3 with clones but at that point he had no choice but to use it himself since just sealing orochimaru wouldn't have stoped the 1st and 2nd as well.
thats true. then i dont see why minato shud have used it on the nine tails. because a lot of people believe that the FTG doesnt use chakra, so if this is true then the only chakra he used was a rasengan. meaning he pretty much didnt use much chakra then he could of been able to seal the nine tails creating a clone coz kushina was the one doing all the work by chaining it down. if you get what i mean?
exactly. minato was smart. he created it so he knew exactly the hand seals to do it.
Im with this guy/girl.uzumaki's were known for this so either the first learnt it from mito uzumaki then taught the second then he taught the third hokage and he taught minato
i think with the clones... the original has shortened his/her lifespan... with 3 clones, lifespan is reduced a third of the user... with a hundred perhaps it maybe shortened about 1% of original lifespan.. thats what i think
