In-Depth Analysis: Minato and Tobirama's S/T jutsu
What we know about them
What we know about them
Minato:
- Has Space-Time Ninjutsu
- Named his S/T tech FTG
- Uses a special seal
Tobirama:
- Has Space-Time Ninjutsu
- Named his S/T tech FTG
- Needed preparation to use the tech
First of all, I would like to say that we can't rely always on the line "To see is to believe" because there are things in life that we believe but we haven't seen. Many crimes have been solved by just figuring the clues left behind. It only needs our ability to analyse what was given to us with the aid of logic and common sense.
After the release of chapter 627, many debated on who between the two Hokages created FTG. Databook supports that Minato was the one who created FTG but if he is then how come Tobirama knows about FTG when he died before Minato was born? Is this an error on Kishi's part or another clue left by the creator himself?
I believe that this is a clue given to us. And with the release of chapter 627 which Hashirama mentioned "PREPARE", many questions have been answered.

That chapter answered our question about why Tobirama was not able to use his S/T jutsu when he was ambushed by the Kin/Gin brothers that almost killed him. It also answered why he was not able to use his S/T and instead sacrifices himself as a decoy just to let his men escape against the 20 bounty hunters.

It's very clear to us now that he can't use his FTG in battle because it needs preparation as mentioned by Hashi. Well, he can teleport from one place to another but that's all. In battle, his FTG is useless. Come to think of it, why both of them named their jutsu FTG? Another error? I don't think so. I consider it as a clue.
Now, who really created FTG between the two of them? NONE! I believe that both of them are born with that ability. A KKG perhaps? Before everyone of you will say that KKG is a bloodline limit available to certain clans alone then I will say not all. Mu was able to pass Jinton to Onoki because Onoki possesses the ABILITYto use Jinton and take note that Jinton was considered an advance KKG.
When Hashirama said "PREPARE to fly outside", I believe that the preparation needed for Tobirama is something like this:

It further strengthen my belief that FTG is YIN-YANG based and those 3 bodyguards uses the seal of confrontation to concentrate their chakra. Minato may have figured the mechanics behind it that's why he was able to teach it but then it needed 3 person to perform it. One could possibly concentrate his YIN, the other one his YANG, and the 3rd one combined both. Just a theory though...
Having KKG doesn't mean that you have to be in a certain clan. If both of you possess the ability to perform a certain jutsu considered KKG then it's not impossible. Mu was able to pass Jinton to Onoki. Correct me if i'm wrong but are they related? Are they on the same clan? Another best example is Hashi's wood jutsu. Only him can perform wood techniques. Tobirama can't. Other senjus can't. He is born with that ability.
Minato uses seals so he can track enemy or can teleport with ease. He doesn't need preparations. It is his idea to use seals thus we can consider it his creation. His FTG is effective in battle. He can easily avoid attacks with the use of it and can even wipe a platoon. The difference between the two FTG is one has many purpose while the other one is for travelling purpose alone.
Conclusion: Minato and Tobirama are born with the ability to use a Space-Time tech (teleportation) but it was Minato who perfected it and made it useful in battle.
