"I'll have Kakashi keep my kunai"

[Bogard]

After re-reading the chapter, something bothered me. Minato's sentence [

]: "I'll have Kakashi keep my kunai" Why did Kakashi actually have to keep the kunai in the strategy?

Well Gaara did mention the fact his sand was too slow for Madara's attacks, but Minato adds it's ok i'm here too, in other words i'll take care of this

And when you take a closer look at the moment Minato appeared infront of the collision between Madara's attack and 8gated Gai, you'll notice the position where Minato actually hold his kunai is similar to Kakashi's sudden apparition on Gaara's sand

So do you think Minato is the one who actually teleported him there? Which could also explain the reason why Kakashi had to keep the kunai

 

[xcoyote]

That or its his way to bail out before the black orbs turn him into paste i guess,he did make contact with all of them after all.

 

[Lucidus]

it seems that way for the cloud of sand to have caught up to gai so quickly it had to have been minato's doing

 

[AGoodBoy]

Nah. I think he made kakashi keep it for safety.
Gaara was meant to fly kakashi in, but gaara said his sand is too slow to protect kakashi if madara decided to solo him. That's why minato have him a kunai just in case.

I don't think so because he doesn't need Kakashi in that case when he can simply leave a kunai behind before the operation

 

[xxSAGExx]

Nice catch, I didn't notice that! Kishi finally made Minato use his strategy aspect that Minato haven't been using, we see Tobirama do it mostly.

 

[Smd]

i thought he gave him the kunai to get close to madara or to use it like lee did

 

[Memento Mori]

yes that is all minato's doing

 

[FloriGlori]

No. As of now, Minato cannot teleport things carrying the Hiraishin seal alone. He can, however, teleport to them, which is exactly what he gave Kakashi the Kunai for; in order to protect him from Onmyouton by throwing himself in its path, similar to how he protected Gai.

 

[Triforce No Jutsu]

I thought it was a safety precaution in case something went terribly wrong.

 

[Gary777]

For him to ftg back to kakashi to protect him coz hes close to madara

 

[Sennin of Logic]

It would make sense. It would explain how Garra's sand, which can't keep up with the orbs, caught up with Guy.

 

[Everztar]

does no one ever think that something can be done just in case? for safety? XD

Minato gets points for safety precautions. lol

Well while it's true Minato only showed to teleport to the marking so far, nothing proves he cannot teleport people connected to the marking as well because we've never seen him actually try it before, so Kishimoto implementing the possibility at this stage wouldn't be incoherant at all. Your safety reasoning is also possible though, eventhough judging by the success of the operation it's hard to believe the kunai finally played no role in there

 

[zorakovic]

he gave the kunai to kakashi to protect him in case of madara attacking kakashi but madara attacked gai instead of kakashi so minato teleported to gai side by lee kunai and saved him

 

[409fusion]

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lucidus]

ok a lot of people seem to be missing something..

i see a lot of people saying that minato cannot teleport anything but himself with his seals.. yet he teleported the TBB by throwing his kunai at it so it came in contact with the seal so he could teleport it..

this proves that he can teleport anything his seal comes into contact with

another thing.. are some people seriously going to believe that gaara's sand who even admitted was to slow managed to catch up with gai and minato who teleported instantly to his location ?

the reason why kakashi kept the kunai was so he could teleport them closer to madara to help aswell as for safety

 

[Six Paths]

He had Kakashi keeping the kunai in order to protect him if Madara attacked with those Black balls.

 

[Gold Lightning]

No, when Kakashi promoted to Jonin Minato gave him a kunai as a present; which Kakashi obviously lost in battle. Minato is just replacing the one that Kakashi misplaced
