Minato's Taijutsu

[valandil988]

I'm not sure if theres been another thread pretaining to this, I used a search nothing came up about this.

Anyway not sure if this was obvious to everyone or not, I'm sure a few out there twigged about it but didnt bother to point it out. Minato has been shown in the flashbacks untilising another technique that we didnt know he had before (or atleast were not shown in the Kyuubi attack flashback). When fighting Killer B and A we see he is able to cut through the hachibi tenticle much like Sasuke was able to cut through one with a lighting style chidori sharp spear.

Anyway its pretty obvious from this that it was not shear force or speed that cut the tenticle; Minato must use a Wind Style Taijutsu. Much like Naruto cutting the leaf for his wind element manipulation Minato is doing this on a larger scale when he cuts the tenticle. Its possible that it enhanced his already formidable speed in applications of the wind element we're not aware of. More or less all we know or atleast whats confirmed is that wind cuts, perhaps Minato uses it to reduce air drag on his body allowing him to move without friction by cutting the air in front of him.

From this I can guess that Minato would have been seriously fearsome in just a straight out taijutsu match (If we hadn't already assumed that to begin with) without any of his other techs to help. I mean its way better than the Hyuuga's gentle fist (I don't mean the byakugan just the fighting style), it doesnt even matter if he hits you, in a similar manner to sage mode he can cut you without you seeing or even having time to move. Not to mention you can't block. A sharingan could probably see the jutsu in action thus enabling the possiblity of dodging as unlike sage mode it doesnt utilise senjutsu. which must be invisible to the sharingan as if it wasnt wouldn't the uchiha eyes always be clouded by a fog of chakra?

Anyway just wanted to post this not sure if its been posted before or not.

So you're saying Minato, a genius, prodigy, prophecy child, etc., couldn't add his element (supposedly Wind) to Rasengan but Naruto could? I severely doubt he had a Wind affinity because of that.

 

[valandil988]

Has it oh well never mind my bad

Umm no I'm not talking about the Rasengan at all I'm talking about his taijutsu, did you actually read it or not, I never once talking about the rasengan.

Tentacles aren't that hard to cut anyway. U_U

Yeah....thats somthing that confuses me a great deal. Why are they easy to cut where the Kyuubi's might as well act like dimond armor? I mean orochimaru couldnt even cut the four tailed chakra cloak naruto lost control of...

The only time I've seen the Kyuubi cloak "harmed" or cut is against that bijudama beam of the juubi. I mean is the Hachibi that much weaker? that it can be cut by just about anyone with a elemental jutsu??

I did read. You mentioned that Minato must have Wind Style. I simply said it's highly unlikely, using Rasengan as proof.

Your statement makes no sense. Rasengan is not proof, all it proves is that Minato as stated by several characters in the manga never had time or the sheer chakra to produce an elemental form of his jutsu. Hence there is no evidence to his elemental affinity not being Wind or any other element, though using Naruto as "proof" him having a wind affinity likely means that one of his parents had the same affinity. Making it more likely that Minato had Wind style not less likely. "Cutting" the tenticle not withstanding...

 

[zinescience]

so minato never used element release.

 

[Kages]

Nah it's easy to cut it

What you guys are forgetting about Naruto's rasen shuriken training is the special method Kakashi developed. Minato, in all probability, WAS capable of mixing his chakra nature with rasengan but because of the extremely long solo training, compared to Naruto's mass shadow clone training, he was not able to do so in his life time because it was cut short by the fox attack. I guarantee you that if Minato had a few more years of training under his belt he would have mastered it.

Having control of your chakra nature is entirely different than adding that control to a chakra form technique of the highest level. This is the same reason Kakashi had to modify the technique to create Chidori, because nature chakra rasengan was too hard to master.

exactly,

its just flesh, stop with mianto taijutsu expert crap

minato is dead and lot shinobi now own all the hyped up characters we are sick of hearing about, minato, itachi, etc.

and no kahahsi didn't invent the shadow clone training method its just rare that shinobi can use clones in this way and suggested it to naruto.
