Im pretty sure Minato already had his students marked from sparing matches.

And Minato mark doesnt go away.

So why didnt he attempt to use SM to track Obitos chakra signature, then use ftg to teleport to Obito using the mark he placed on his teammates?

You being pretty sure doesn't equal facts. It's obvious he didn't have them marked there's a reason he gave kakashi the Kunai.

To answer you this, Minato once marked Obito when he attacked Konoha. Then, do you think Minato marked him before that? If Minato marked Obito before he gave his Sharingan to Kakashi, he would have sensed it, since his markings doesn't disappear as you stated so he may have figured out who it was. I don't think Minato marked his FTG on a lot of people during his lifetime though, and according to his students, I don't think it would be fair just to mark them (except Kakashi), because it would be like defeating them in 1 sec the next time they are challenging Minato in a battle.

The mark does go away if the user removes it. Besides that, Obito's chakra signature isn't the same as what it was when he "died" during the 3rd war.
After he left the cave his chakra became different because of his implanted powers. Think of Karin trying to identify Dsm Kabuto's chakra signature.

keep tobidara out of this..Minato figure it out kamui in less then a min while others couldnt even figure it out for 700 chapters

That is actually not true, Fuu and Torune figured it as fast out as Minato and even had the same strategy as Minato. It failed though as Obito wouldn't fall for the same strategy twice. There actually people that figured it out, Kakashi and Konan are a great example.

bold is where your wrong and your whole argument falls apart. no he didn't.

The only one that had minato's tag was kakashi via the kunai minato gave him.

Same strategy? I doubt someone as skills as Minato would have landed a hit on Obito without Rinnegan back then. You can't compare Minato with Fuu and Torune since both of them were not fast. Both of them were also vulnerable to Obito which means that he could see their tactic, but with Minato's case he simply landed a hit because of his reaction speed. Let alone that Minato is one of the fastest shinobi in history, and FTG is more superior than combination attacks of 2 or 3 people, that's it.

Btw, Minato had to worry about Konoha's safety and Kushina and Naruto. He even defeated Obito in less than 3 minutes. I doubt someone as Konan and Kakashi would have done the same there. Konan needed time to prepare her counter against Kamui, while Kakashi did need his team to battling against Obito.

So, Kakashi had all the time carried Minato's kunai inside his pocket? Then, how can you explain how KCM Minato saved Obito from Kakashi after Juubi got extracted from him? Kakashi never used it. It doesn't makes sense though, but if you remember when Kakashi, Obito and Rin battled against Minato, he marked Kakashi, idk if it was a filler or not (according to the Storm game), but he should have teleported to him via markings on Kakashi?

It's because Minato assumed that he was dead, just as everyone else had. There would be no point in finding a dead shinobi, reportedly buried by boulders... You gotta remember that just because we know he wasn't dead, doesn't mean the characters knew. It's called dramatic irony and has been used in writing since at least Shakespeare with his plays (probably even further back).

He didn't have them marked. Because i don't think anybody would like to be marked by anyone. Obito/kakashi would lose confidence in their own abilities. And as said above, obito's chakra had changed due to implants and MS. MS changes chakra noted by Karin as sasuke's chakra grew darker.

Finally minato or anyone for that matter would never expect obito to have knowledge of everything he did. Madara was supposedly dead. Nobody could have figured out, how did obito get that much knowledge. Minato noted that only madara possessed such knowledge and even questioned obito. But then you wouldn't expect madara defeated by hashirama to live more than 100 years, would u?

@bold, As far as my comprehension goes, that was shunshin, not ftg. Minato's cape was flying from the movement.

Minato not defeating kurama singlehandedly and not displaying any other jutsu other than rasengan is pretty dumb...

I dont think Minato was that proficient at Sage mode and Obito left nothing behind for him to reverse track.

For the sake of your argument lets say he could:

Minato had 99 problems to deal with before trying to track Obito:

1) Nine tails was wrecking havoc
2) He was exhausted from the barrier / fighting / teleporting
3) Kushina was exhausted from child birth
4) He wanted to protect Kushina and Naruto
5) He accepted that if he lost the battle (RDS) Naruto would win the war (Jin chuuriki)
6) The other villagers (Hiruzen etc) were playing defensive instead of being aggressive.



So to answer your question. IF Minato was able to recapture the nine tails by:

1) Villagers (Hiruzen and others) offensively supporting him.
2) Him not being exhausted
3) Kushina not being exhausted


He would have without a doubt pursued Obito and eventually found him. Assuming Obito doesn't simply sit in Kamui land until he is fully repaired.


You being pretty sure doesn't equal facts. It's obvious he didn't have them marked there's a reason he gave kakashi the Kunai.

I always assumed Minato "Cleans up" marks of either defeated enemies OR after sparring with his comrades to prevent excessive marks. Wouldn't make since to have abunch of corpses marked 6ft under.

Yes that is what shunshin is amplified by chakra off course.

No one noticed Minato running and saving Obito, even Naruto and Sasuke couldn't sensed him. What is this? Sasuke was the closest to Obito, but Minato was far away from them, but was faster? I still think he used FTG though.
