You just went full retard. Please inform me how shadow clones would have aided minato in anyway? He already shat on obito and sent him in the infirmary with 1 body. He didn't really have time to make a shadow clone when he caught and saved naruto, nor did he need a shadow clone to save kushina. He didn't need a shadow clone to S/T barrier tbb, or teleport kyuubi away. 8 trigram seal and RDS don't require shadow clones either, so I'm really not seeing the use of him making it. Sorry bro, just because naruto sucks so hard that he always needs shadow clones in his fights, doesn't mean everyone else does. Especially not in a fight that lasted no more than 5 minutes.
