Can Minato do Kage Bunshin? (must read)

[ajpn920]

Another great day and a good day to ask all NB users for their opinion. For some time now, there are others who believes that Minato can't do Kage Bunshin. While I personally believe he can due to some hints given by Kishi, other's do not. So, I would like everyone's opinion about this.

First of, we can't say that a person can't do this because we haven't seen him do when there is an evidence that can back it up and make us conclude that he can. Let's talk about the other powerful nins that did not demonstrate their ability but we know they can because of the hints given by the manga

1. Hashirama: We haven't seen him using the wood techniques that Madara was diplaying but we know that it was the original tech from the 1st because wood techniques can only be performed by him that's why Madara stole that ability.

Question: Even if we know that the techniques Madara showed us comes from the 1st but we did not see the 1st doing it, can we say that he cannot do it because we haven't seen him doing it? Or we can just use our common sense that he can do it because it was hinted that the technique Madara uses comes from the 1st? Which is which? Eyes or brain?

2. Hiruzen: It was said that he know all Konoha techniques thus given the name professor but we haven't seen him perfoming those techs. He showed us only few.

Question: Even if it was said on the manga that he knows all Konoha techniques, can we say that he can ONLY do those techniques he showed us so far? If we'll count it, it won't reach 10. Do we believe in what we see or we can use the hint given by the manga that he knows a hundred or thousands of jutsu? Again eyes or brain?

3. Kakashi: It was said that because of the sharingan, Kakashi was able to copy a thousand jutsu thus giving him the nickname copy ninja. We have not seen him doing a 1000 jutsu so can we say that he can't perform it because we have not seen it? or do we take into consideration what the manga told us. Eyes or Brain?

Enough of our examples. Let's go to the main topic. Can Minato do Kage Bunshin?

In part 1, we know that to be able to graduate one must perform bunshin no jutsu.

Later in part one, Naruto stole the scroll and the 1st technique listed was a bunshin no jutsu which he is bad at

It was mentioned by Hiruzen that the scroll was forbidden by the previous Hokage.

If my memory serves me well, at this point of time, Hiruzen was the Hokage and he took this position back after Minato died which we all know was the Hokage before Hiruzen took the position back. So, since this is part 1 and Hiruzen was the Hokage for the 2nd time, who was the previous Hokage he's referring to?

Don't anybody think that a Hokage has the position to know what was written in the scroll? If they have this oppurtunity, do you think that they don't find time reading what was written on it?

Kage Bunshin is not a special tech, bloodline or a clans technique that is only limited to a few person or a selected one. It's a B rank tech which anybody can learn. From what the manga hinted us so far, I would like to know everyone's opinion by voting on the poll. Is Minato capable of doing Kage Bunshin?

Thanks for reading!:ice:

[★Juha]

I say yes because he was adept with the shadow shuriken jutsu so I believe he was more than capable of using bunshins.
But naruto's jutsu is more like Kushina's from what tsunade said so she was probly better at bunshins than minato.

Also Yamato uses wood clones we have seen it so it is proper to assume that hashi uses them as madara has used them and Yamato can.

[EliteKakashi]

Hashirama is the one who made the scroll forbidden, I do believe.

And the issue with your examples is those characters were said to have those abilities(Kakashi copying over 1,000, Hiruzen knowing all Leaf jutsu, etc). Nothing has ever been mentioned in regards to Minato being able to use it.

I would be shocked if he wasn't able to, though.

.

that scroll was about multi shadow clone , which only high chakra ninja can
shadow clone and multi shadow clone are two different tech.
a high jounin must know shadow clone tech

[Kazekage35]

I'm going to say he can make a few shadow clones like Kakashi and what not but does not know multi shadow clone, which is the forbidden tech

Kakashi is capable of multi shadow clone. I'm sure that's what the OP was referring to.

Thanks for your participation. You may wonder about the comparison i've listed. It was not said that Minato can do bunshin but it's pretty clear that a bunshin is one of the requirement to be able to graduate. This is why I ask the question, eyes or brain because some of us here don't use their brain but rather their eyes only.

You know Kakashi can do Multi Shadow clone justu too like naruto during their fight with Zabuza, after the mob came he did it with naruto. he doesnt do it too often because of his limited chakra as he said.

[Staarkk]

Yes he can, it is almost required for a Jonin + ninja to have this technique in their arsenal.

[KamuiShiryu]

grrrr i accidently voted no!!!! nice thread i think he did since he forbid it he must have had a good reason :P or at least seen the scroll

[nightfury028]

yes he can. (just so it in a mugen) but i really confidently say that he can.

[T Bogard]

Don't forget Jiraya. I never saw Jiraya use Kage Bunshin even once during all his battle, during all part1 and part2 until his fight against Pain. He didn't use it against Orochimaru for example. At that moment, we could also say that he couldn't use kage bunshin, but we've seen him use it against Pain finally. So because someone doesn't use a technique, doesn't mean he cant

Yes. I believe he can. There's enough evidence supporting that he can than he can't. Thanks guys for your participation

Edit: @Lord Uchiha Sasuke: what made you think he can't? Please state your reason. Is it because you have not seen it? So, you're one of the guys who chooses eyes over brain..cool..

i agree with this..

that's why he'll stomp itachi for good...

[Tazzilla88]

Well should we give Tsunade Kage bunshins too >_>

[ajpn920]

Well I wonder if it's so hard for someone who can create an A rank or S rank techniques to know a B rank technique..

[Tazzilla88]

My point being, as perhaps Tsunade's largest fan I would love for her to able to and yes while she has the resources and information on the technique she may not have ever decided to learn it because she feels her fighting style was great enough without kage bunshins. Though I suppose technically it would make logical sense for all the hokages to know kage bunshin no jutsu as it is in the hokage scroll

[Direcorpse]

Well should we give Tsunade Kage bunshins too >_>

The more bewbs, THE MERRIER!
Give some to Mei too, while you're at it :D

[uncle sam]

da fuq is this? kakashi HAS used multi shadow clones and lightning clones. an anbu stated hiruzen can use it and went on to explain the reason he dint use it against oro was because he was low on chakra

[Swizzik]

As if Minato wasn't OP enough you fanboys want to give him Kage Bushin too?

Manga proof or GTFO.

That is what I was about say.

This is only speculation.

Aren't you speculating when you say he can't? Now, i'll ask you to give evidence that he can't. Any words from the manga that he can't? I'll wait.
