How long does FTG seal last for?

[Sierra G719]

Assuming it's as permanent as a tattoo, can't Minato just use FTG to travel to Obito's little domain using the tag he placed 16 years prior?

Or am I just thinking about this too much?

 

[Glorious]

This has been asked before, it could be possible but I doubt it. I mean minato died, it would be pretty OP if he could still teleport to the location he tagged.

 

[The Necromancer]

Probably until it is removed. I doubt it fades by itself.

 

[sulanis]

It looks like a tattoo, so maybe permanent? unless forcibly removed?

You're thinking about this too much.

The seal can't last forever, or minato would've teleported to Bee by now.

 

[Cursed Prince]

It couldnt have possibly lasted all this time

 

[Arcanor]

It's safe to assume Minato can't FTG through dimensions. Otherwise he could have just let Obito warp him at their fight. Plus it's most likely seals vanish if someone dies(Edit: just noticed the permanent part, and I think Obito must have had a shower in 16 years...)

It lasts for 220 seconds, Minato is fodder.

 

[sanninuto]

well, it's possible sure

Maybe he thinks bee has been captured already, or that he has been replaced. But i still think there is a possibility of minato warping to obito's location and helping kakashi.

 

[Naruto hinata]

maybe.
but if i remember, minato marked kakashi and killerbee as well

Incorrect. He couldn't have teleported to be, because he was under Oro's restraint.
And we have zero proof that its gone, so it's not hurting anybody to assume its still there.

Need proof.

Dude, no just no. I'm a minato fan, but i know his limitations. His seal cannot last indefinitely, at least not his ftg one.

Minato is a sensor type, he was able to sense naruto and the kyuubi's chakra, and the fact that they were fighting together. He'd have definitely sensed Bee's chakra due to its enormity, and would've teleported to him using the seal he marked him with way back.

Oro released his restraint since he took sasuke's side, all the hokage are moving freely atm.

 

[Renpatsu Dei]

I don't think so, they are placed using his chakra right? If they are surely they'll disappear when he dies. I don't know though it isn't out of the question.

 

[Kαmi]

The seals probably faded when he died, he no longer had his chakra to feed the deals so they have all probably disappeared by now.

 

[NobleRider]

funny question XD

 

[Itachi Edo]

This is Kishi... Minato will likely step in when Obito is about to kill off Kakashi and plot protects them both.

 

[FearxDeath]

I will answer this pretty simply:

The duration of a seal is only as long as the amount of chakra placed into the seal. Lets take Naruto's seal for instance, during his fight with Pain he loses control and during his unconcious state he speaks with Minato via the chakra he left in the seal and gets Naruto back in control of his body by using his chakra to restore the seal on his chest that had worn off and deteriorate over time.

Now given that the Uzumaki seal is one of the strongest there is and granted how much Chakra Minato used to place it on Naruto the fact that it only lasted about 15 years should give us a good estimation on how long regular seals would last if alot of chakra is put into it.

But when considering the seals Minato places in battle one would expect the duration to be alot smaller, keep in mind he places them for the purpose of killing an enemy, and the more chakra he puts into forming it the less chakra he has to work with. With that I would wager that he only puts enough chakra in the seal to have it last 30minutes to an hour. Which is more than enough time to put down a tough enemy.

Even with that said you should remember that seals can be broken. So the theory that Minato just FTG's to Obito fails for 2 reasons. 1) The seal would have worn off by now. 2) If it hadnt worn off then Obito could have broken the seal.
