What's stopping Deidara from creating clones just to screw around with that strategy, too? Anyways. He can't fly up to them. So they rock him out of the sky in an attempt to do so. Especially if he actually tries to jump with a frog or throw kunais towards them.
And so far, Deidara fooled everyone with a clay clone. Don't see how he's not fooling Minato. Deidara has fooled Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Team Gai, Ohnoki. Deidara managed to swap himself with a clay clone right in front of Naruto's and Kakashi's eyes and went unnoticed. He did the same to Team Gai. And then, he did the same to Sasuke while hidding behind a smokescreen. If Byakugan and Sharingan couldn't notice him swapping with a clone or it being a clone, I don't see how Minato doesn't get fooled.
And hitting Sasori shouldn't really tell Minato about the heart. Sakura and Chiyo saw it out in the open, even punched Sasori head on, yet they didn't realize that was his heart until Sasori switched his puppet bodies and they saw that same exact part in the new body. Iron Sand is too slow for a teleporting guy, sure. But the more Iron Sand Sasori generates, the more the field starts getting filled with Iron Sand, thus not allowing Minato or his toads to exactly move on some parts of the field.
Clones that can teleport > any other clones, Minato & his clones will out speed Deidara & his clones & catch him off guard.
Sure Bunta can't jump high enough to catch Deidara's bird (if he gets too high) but he can shoot him down with water bullets once he gets in range or Minato can throw a Kunai above his head & bring him down with FCD.
But he won't accomplished anything with that, once Minato realize it was a clay clone he can get away before it detonates meanwhile his clones can sacrifice themselves to mark the real Deidara & finish him off.
No, when Minato take him down with the initial blitz & he comes back Minato'll notice that something is fishy about him & he'll eventually figure out the core's trick (his intelligence & analitycal skills is way out of Sakura & Chiyo's league)
Bunta can counter the sand with his oil & it's highly unlikely for Sasori to filled the battlefield with Iron Sand before Minato take him out (remember once they get close it's over, they'll get blitzed)
Hmm. Minato did that? Mind if you link a scan? You're probably right since I vaguely remember him doing that, but am not 100% sure.
Can't get you a link at the moment but it was when he returned to the village, in a panel he was above the Hokage mountain & in the next panel he was above Kyuubi at the other side of the villages's border & used FCD to pin him down.
Whether he used Shunshin to cover that distance or throw a Kunai to that spot shows that he can cover village range distances with ease.
Bunta sticks out like a sore thumb. One single blow from Sasori or Deidara - especially from the former - will kill him. Plus, Bunta can't exactly jump after them at the speed of which Deidara can fly up. Trying to spam kunai to get towards them also isn't a particulary good idea since they can barrage the direction of the kunai and all so he'd have to teleport to a mark back down.
Bunta tanked Ichibi's wind bullet so Deidara needs a big explosion to take him out & frogs can jump out of danger or Minato can warp him away.
As I said above Bunta can shoot Deidara down with his water bullets.
Minato can constantly warp between Kunai to avoid their attacks & he only needs to land a Kunai near them to strike them down.
That's not what I was asking really. I was asking whether we have seen Minato use his sensory chakra at the same time as using his other techniques. I mean, I wouldn't see the point of having his sensory chakra switched off if he could fight with it all the time. All I remember is that Minato was stationary when using sensory chakra in all of the cases he used it.
Minato & Tobirama's sensory ability is something unique & we don't know it's exact mechanism but if it has to be constantly switched on & off that would make it useless during the battle which is highly unlikely.
Minato can sit on Bunta's head & use his sensory to scan the battlefield.
Aight. I thought you were implying Sasori gets rocked by C4, too. Anyways, I've stated why I don't see why Minato would attempt an escape from C4's chakra field since Sasuke didn't until seeing Deidara's expression. He thought C4 was a dud so Minato should, too. Especially after seeing Sasori in C4's field. Sasori and Deidara won't be using the same birds or platforms so he can't cut them down at the same time. He's gonna be out of Deidara's explosive range, but not next to him.
C4 needs prep time & Minato always take his opponent down so quickly, Deidara might not get the chance to use it at all & he does when Minato sees that giant doll he'll search for the real Deidara & that's when he uses his sensory ability.
Deidara needs his biggest explosions if he want to catch Minato since his regular explosion's radius is small & that means Sasori may get caught first.
Terrible logic.
First when has Minato ever blitzed someone with rasengan?(Think carefully before you answer this one)
Second what makes you think Kakuzu will wait til the last second use his armor? If Minato is faster than him(which is common knowledge in Narutoverse) why would he not have his guard. When Madara and Sasuke realized how fast A was do you think they just waited around for A to attack? No they camped within their armor(susanoo). You think a man who has been alive since the days of the first hokage would be dumb enough to not keep his defences up? What manga are you reading?
Third if he doesn't bring him down in one shot what does he do after his killing attempt fails and Kakuzu uses his armor.
Calling me autistic because I don't blindly wank Top tier. How's minato's **** taste?
Minato doesn't blitz anyone with Rasengan! He blitz them with his foot speed or FTG & then strike them down with Rasengan.
Aha then Kakuzu is gonna camp inside Domu forever? Then how is he gonna attack? By the time he cancels Domu to attack he gets blitzed cause he can't reactivate it in time.
This is my last reply to you cause you're not worth my time & you better stop your insults! It's for own good!
