Can Minato do Kage Bunshin? (must read)

[r0ck3t]

He can't do a Kage bunshin in battle but the chance that he can do it at 100% health and chakra, I'll say yes. I'll say he can ONLY, do it for a short limited time though. I bet after doing such jutsu, it has to drain most of your chakra pretty quick. Remember that Kakashi only did it to intimidate and overwhelm the enemy. The reason they made it forbidden, was due to a high rate of deaths and also so that they wouldn't have fodder ninjas embarrassing themselves.

[XxTwin BladexX]

Yeah I think he can.

[phantomlord22]

I believe he could

[Scryed]

Technically, everyone is capable of using it. It's all a matter of whether they know it or not.

[konohaninja2]

Kage bunshin is not a special jutsu anybody can learn it if you have enough chakre,heck evev kakashi can use it as demonstrated in his fight with zabuza S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴͡ yes minato can very well use it

[Danzo Auditore De Firenze]

That same could be said for every strong ninja who hasn't shown Shadow Clone jutsu.

[nightfury028]

didnt expect this thread will be in the hottest.

[BiBiO]

who needs clones..when u can flash anywhere..minato best all ninja

Blaze, you did not prove anything. The one thing you did was about the scroll and the word previous which can be applied to anyone of them. It differs on our point of view. Previous means before, prior. Minato was the Hokage before Hiruzen. If you can read your 1st post where you say you will prove that Minato can't, where is it now? If you can prove then i'll humbly accept defeat. But it looks like you change your stance about it.

Op it seems you are lacking, either that or too slow or perhaps fanboysim has clouded your judgement. Maybe all three contribute to your failings. You said i didnt prove anything, actually i did.

I proved that the two are different techniques (bunshin and kage bunshin)
Proved that its a kinjutsu which wouldnt be taught at a academy
Proved that its hashirama's scroll
Proved that its him who forbid it.

Ive proved all your points wrong, however i didnt prove whether minato can use it or not, because that was never the aim unless you can upload me a quote saying he cannot, however i can upload you a quote which says that he might have it however your post doesnt do this idea justice. Reason i didnt even bother to disapprove of him having it is because its unknown and the petty attempt of you to try and approve it wasnt good enough and that me being nice. If you still cannot grasp that what hiruzen said, he never mentioned minato, previous could mean any of the previous hokages, uploaded you a quote from the DB, then uploaded the Image aswell and yet you cannot take this in, then ive nothing more to say. Btw op if you go back to when naruto first learnt the technique he said "kage bunshin no jutsu" and you even upload the page where he said this. What he did with the technique was due to his reserves which allowed him to maximise it, however the vast majority of ninja's do not have that reserves in the first place

As for those trolls/butthurt fans who have somehow added itachi to the thread/has called those are arent in favour of this idea haters must be either stuck on stupid/trolls are not very bright. I guess going against the op which is wrong, is hating. To me hating is when you post nonsense and outright hate on a character without giving any evidence, however id like to think ive done the opposite. The only point i couldnt prove was whether minato had this technique or not and as i said that was never the aim because it cannot be proven or dispproven, but since for unkown reasons itachi has somehow creeped into this thread due to butthurt minato fanboys who cannot accept the truth and simple logic that its unknown are just butthurt, i guess its only fair that i also include itachi in this thread. As he said "you lose";

[duken fist]

i think he can do it since he has alot of chakra

[YellowFang]

For someone who can create jutsus of such high caliber....like FTG and Rasengan and many un-known jutsus...
Kage bunshin has a huge chance of being in Minato's arsenal...I mean, I won't be surprised if he'd use it...

[TaBaYo]

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

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.

[Rhyzo]

Im sure most people can do kage bunshin since academy students can do it. Maybe he just cannot create too many clones. Btw this scroll was forbidden by Hashirama.

[aryan2]

Yes, truly believe in it

[ntel]

Yes..Minato was High Kage level-God level..so he would of known how to do it but didnt think it was necessary against his foes since his reflexes/speed with FTG just made him OP already

[magnus75damkier]

I think he can. Its a simple jutsu, AND i dont think he would have become kage without being able to use it.

[Reauner]

He was the fourth hokage.. so i thing he was able to use the kage bunshin technique o_O.

[thegame]

Seriosuly?

any jonin shinobi can use kage bunshins, but often they are more suited to escape than for battle, if you don't have large chakra reserves, and for escaping you usually have better jutsu that takes less chakra anyway....

[Beetle]

The hokages clearly have access to the scroll with the jutsu on it. If Kakashi level chakra can use that many, I'd say Minato can too. Also, I could be wrong, but I thought it was mentioned he wasn't as skilled as Naruto with it, so he couldn't use shadow clones to perfect the Rasengan.

[daviddragon]

yes he can

[yondaimeminato]

The first hokage started the scroll *creator* or author for the kages to fill in all forbidden jutsus they might encounter. Something that can not be teached on the academy or anyone. There is no way the first hokage knew all the forbidden jutsus and the future forbidden jutsus. It's a record scroll for future hokages. The hokages has to be aware of all the jutsus in the scroll because there is always a posibility of someone without knowing doing a jutsu that's in the scroll. It could be deadly dangerious for the the user and the hokage has to be able to prevent this from happening or has to have an idea how the jutsu works if the scroll has been leaked to a capable enemy.

the hokage has to be able to record newly discovered forbidden jutsus into the scroll

Minato can defenetely do kage bunshin because he has large amount of chakra.

minato used chakra to maintain the seal of kushina strong while she was giving birth to naruto
minato used ftg multiple times
minato used rasengan
minato teleported the nine tail demon fox bomb
minato teleported the nine tail demon and the bomb
minato almost performed a barrier for the nine tail demon fox

kakashi can do the kage bunshin but he is limited to do them because of his chakra <- The only reason why kakashi refuses to use kage bunshin is bacause he reserves chakra for his sharingan. The sharingan is far more useful to him than kage bunshin. His sharingan sucks up his chakra and if he were to use kage bunshin, this would limit how long he could use his sharingan.

[yondaimeminato]

it's a personal choice.

Naruto has given kage bunshin a whole new level. He made kage bunshin into a powerful arsenal to have in a battle. This is his technique of choice.

Minato's choice of power is FTG. Even if he can use other jutsus, he will prefer FTG over them.

[tristan]

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

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

[tristan]

yes he can...

kage shuriken no jutsu is the same jutsu...a clone applied in shuriken...
