Why didn't Minato teach Kakashi the FTG??

[mrenvy999]

He taught he to Genma and Raido...why didn't he teach it to his fav student?? I'm sure Kakashi would mastered it very easily...why kishi..why?? and where is the Kunai Minato gave him??

 

[Zlad]

It is simple not Kakashi's style to use FTG

 

[Tendou00]

Because of plot no jutsu.If Kakashi learned it he'd be the strongest ninja of Konoha's history.

 

[natssuu]

Selfish bastard xd

 

[sulanis]

maybe only certain types of people can use FTG? not sure, but it is a good question.

 

[-S-]

I don't think that would have served the plot any good at all...

 

[ElSayo]

Maybe not everyone is capable of learning FTG...that's my opinion though. As for the Minato's kunai, probably Kakashi keeps it somewhere safe as a memento.

 

[XiayouLili5]

Because he didn't want to.
I think it's pretty self-explanatory.

 

[Sabuto Hayashi]

Perhaps Kakashi didn't need to learn it, or wasn't capable of using the technique as efficiently as Minato himself?

Who knows, Minato might have taught him the basics of the technique if he lived a little longer.

It probably became a forbidden jutsu, so he couldn't teach it to others. What he taught his body guards was nothing special after all. Besides it had ruined the plot.

 

[Elio]

Plot and or maybe Kakashi doesn't have enough chakra to use it efficiently.

 

[Bogard]

It seems that FTG is a really taxing and complexe jutsu if it's needed 3people like Genma to actually use it. And Kakashi is alone, and probably didn't had a lot chakra to be able to use the jutsu. It's not a problem of learning here. He learned him rasengan remember

 

[Lentz]

Kakashi doesn't have enough chakra to efficiently use the FTG in battle and that's all there is to it.

 

[Forbidden Twilight]

probably because FTG is so OP. when you think about it, its a technique that can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Think what would happen if Madara knew it.

 

[Summer]

One does not simply teach ftg.

 

[knowledge561]

Raido and Genma can't use it solo though. All 3 have to be together to use it.

 

[natssuu]

Raido and Genma can't use it solo though. All 3 have to be together to use it.

And Kakashi is 100 times more gifted and talented than those fodders.

 

[SasoriOfTheRedSaand]

IMO It's the best jutsu in the whole manga, Kakashi would rape everyone is he had it and it serves the plot no good.

 

[yellowxflash]

Can't be taught kakashi tried but nearly died so minato had to stop training

You're all forgetting what FTG essentially is... It's just a summoning jutsu in which Minato summons his body over to another location that he has marked with the summoning seal. As we have all learned from Jiraiya when he taught Naruto, summoning creatures, even if it may be small, requires a lot of chakra. In a real battle, Minato uses FTG quite often, meaning, every time he summons himself, he uses up a lot of chakra.

Kakashi can summon those dogs, but think, how often do you see him actually summon them? And when he does, how often is it that he summons them IN battle? As far as I remember, he only summoned them in battle twice, once for Zabuza and once for Pein. The reasoning is because he cannot prolong a battle after he summons them due to the amount of chakra they need to be summoned and for the fact that Kakashi already stated he has a very poor chakra reserve compared to that of Minato who had a huge amount of chakra. Throw in the fact Kakashi has to use the sharingan too means he'll be out of chakra within minutes. As we've seen in Tobi vs Minato, you can't rely on just a few minutes against a powerful enemy.

Simply being, whether Minato tried to teach Kakashi or not, I'm sure Kakashi tried to learn it anyways and realised he's incapable of performing FTG to it's full potential. Who knows, maybe Kakashi actually can perform FTG, but like I said, due to the amount of chakra required, it may be a trump card for him.
