Minato's speed is untrackable by 3-tomoe sharingan!?

[Kaziname]

As you all know, Itachi Uchiha was well known for his mastery over sharingan and he mastered it to the point where it almost consumed no chakra at all, thus constantly keeping it active. Madara Uchiha has even greater mastery over sharingan and even greater chakra pool so it is quite safe to assume that he kept it active all the time too (and he would definitely keep it active when he is about to fight strong opponent - like Minato Namikaze). On this page Madara tries to kill Minato who uses raw speed (no FTG or body flicker) and he misses? Does this mean that Minato has "default" speed equal to speed of, idk, opened second inner gate or something like that?

[DarkSasuke]

with tomoe 3 u cannot track his speed but u can get a glimps of him right before he is about to attack but when he is running no way

[-Shanks-]

he definitely had good speed, or he wouldn't be called yellow flash for nothing

[Solf J. Kimblee]

:lmao: you trying to get this information for minato test what a shame.

Also i think the 3T sharingan can keep up with his speed.

[Algalon]

sasuke couldnt keep uf with raikage, that about sums it uo

What good would it do to me? We are both Minatos :D I'm just researching for future fights (if I pass the test, that is).

if itachi wasn't sick he might be be able to track him.

[Solf J. Kimblee]

okay, maybe you should ask Cali. Everyone who post will say yes and no.

[Heister]

if itachi wasn't sick he might be be able to track him.

That wasn't Itachi....

Also it didn't look like he was using the FTG technique, and I would imagine that if Madara who has had the sharingan for a LONG time couldn't keep up with it... but it does seem to be that he missed on purpose because he wanted Minato to get away from Kushina

i think that the sharingan can keep up with his speed but not when he uses the FTG

[DarkSasuke]

sasuke could detect him right before he gets a chance to attack him so that counts

[Schmack]

when he uses ftg, no. but when he doesn't, i dunno.

what wasn't itachi?

[Algalon]

no it doesent ye he can protect himself to some degree but with that sight he cant attack him

[hmisi]

why couldn't it track it? he placed explosive tags on naruto which could kill both of them. if he had just stabbed him with the kunai minato would have killed him right away.

[Professor Sarutobi]

im not sure if that really shows he couldn't keep up with him, he was threating naruto as a way to get minato away from kushina so he could rip the 9tails out of her. raikage in his lightning armor is supposedly as fast as minato so if 3 tomoe can keep up with it, its only by a little bit.

[Steinbiz]

It's already been stated that Minato's speed is about equal to Raikage's lightning armor speed. Sasuke's Sharingan can't keep up with Raikage's physical speed, and Madara probably couldn't completely keep up with Minato's full raw speed either. But that's just an educated guess.

[lord niijima]

well i think that the sharingan will just be able to provide a blurry image.

[DarkSasuke]

well i think that the sharingan will just be able to provide a blurry image.

yea and when they are about to attack u can see them

[konohashinobi]

Does minato moves physically fast ? I thought he teleport's himself fast.

Theres a reason why Minato's speed/movements cannot be tracked by sharingan(of any level and not just 3-tomoe)...this is because he uses FTG...this involves space-manipulation and travelling through another dimension in the blink of an eye...sharingan can obviously not keep up with movements outside its down dimension, at least there has been no such sharingan introduced in the manga as of yet(be it 3-tomoe, ms or an ems)...

nope. it's his raw speed my friend.

[uzumakiclanrules]

^^ Ummm...if you were referring to the part about Minato rescuing baby Naruto, where Minato apparently does not use FTG, this is a completely different matter...

Here Madara's true objective was Kushina...he couldnt care less if Naruto lived or died, so Minato rescuing Naruto after Madara tosses him up like a rag doll was all according to calculated cunning plan...Madara didnt NEED to use his sharingan at that point... Its true that Minato's speed is extraordinary like the raikage's but nothing that cant be traced by the sharingan(there might not exist such a speed save speed of light I guess?)...If anything, maybe just as Sasuke could trace raikage's/bee's movements given their speed, but his body couldnt react in time, that might have been true for Minato and Madara as well...It maybe that Madara's body couldnt react in time...

Anyways, the SPEED of the yellow flash that is famed and what gave Minato the name in the first place, is not his physical speed but his FTG...to a normal ninja who didnt know the jutsu, it obviously seems as though Minato moves with extreme speed but few know the truth about FTG...

1) To all those who said: "He missed on purpose, he wanted to get him away from Kushina." I think that he wanted to kill him first since he was the only one who could stop him and nine-tailed at the moment so there is no reason to miss him on purpose (If Minato was so unimportant why didn't he let him fight nine-tailed? It was obvious that Minato bothered Madara by being the only man in Konoha able to stop him and the nine-tailed and only an idiot would say that it was only Kushina that Madara was interested in).

2) To those who said that he has same speed as raikage when he has his lightning armor on - that would mean that he has speed of fourth inner gate opened

3) To those who said that Madara couldn't react in time because he is slower than Minato - Madara is probably the fastest uchiha and if he can't react than noone can.

First of all IMO, his objective was indeed Kushina(or rather 9bi to be precise)...not sure if he missed on purpose but if not on purpose, then the only explanation possible IMO is that he wasnt using his sharingan, coz. I think Minato's normal speed can be traced by the sharingan(even if the user madara doesnt have enough time to react)...IT could very well be on purpose coz. Madara knew that if he were to fight Minato there, it would have taken a very long time by which somehow reinforcements would have arrived and Kushina would probably have kyuubi take care of with her chakra, so thinking of all this Madara wrapped explosive tags all around Naruto so that he misses and Mianto has to jump outside the room to save Naruto and Kushina, by which time Madara can have enough time to kidnap Kushina and wrench kyuubi out...

Madara was indeed bothered by Minato but the time and place was inconvenient as his only objective at the moment was 9bi...so after pulling it out of Kushina he delays Minato...

To those who said that he has same speed as raikage when he has his lightning armor on - that would mean that he has speed of fourth inner gate opened

Do you mean to say you KNOW that Minato knew how to open inner gates??? And do you mean to say you can actually tell opening of which gates relate to what speed??? For all we know that could be his NORMAL speed...so the comparison of his speed to that of opened inner gates is just wrong...The comparison of his speed to raikage's lightning armor speed is because of the fact that Darui actually compares the 2 during kage-summit battle...However it is unclear whether he actually refers to his normal speed or to his FTG speed...

To those who said that Madara couldn't react in time because he is slower than Minato - Madara is probably the fastest uchiha and if he can't react than noone can.

Yeah...thats true...so no one really can react...your point????
