Maybe he wanted to take the 4th somewhere he was familiar with to gain an advantage? And at this point who else could it be that has the same powers as Madara? I mean he does name drop now, but maybe that is because he knows that no one can stop him now? Where as before he kept his existence a secret. Also keep in mind that no one can know he is alive yet since he hasn't helped Itachi wipe out the Uchiha clan yet,Originally Posted by Y

He wanted to get Minato out of the way long enough for the Fox to conclude its rampage, as, according to Minato, Madara would only be able to keep him summoned for a short time.
Interesting chapter indeed, it was pretty cool to see Minato actually DO something.
There's a pretty obvious reason why Minato would never use sage mode: It simply isn't compatible with his fighting style at all. Remember, the whole trick to achieving sage mode is to stay still and concentrate on the flow of natural energy for a duration of time. Sounds like a huge detriment to a ninja whose talent lies in teleporting all over the place, no?

That is a good point, he does move around quite a bit. Also I thought that the little old frog said that only Jiraya and Naruto could endure the Sage training because they had a mass amount of Chakra, maybe he was only saying that because the 4th died before he could even start the training.

Actually I would think that Minato's space/time jutsu would make achieving sage mode EASIER. He could just teleport away, gather chakra, and teleport back to a fight. Not every opponent can chase after him, after-all. However, I did not expect him to know Sage Mode anyway. =p
Good chapter anyway! Though the encounter felt like it was missing a little flair to me. Good to know that the 2nd hokage knew space/time ninjutsu as well though. Basically proving that Orochimaru's little dolls were shit compared to their real counterparts. Or that Kishi can be pretty dumb.
I don't know if teleporting away to gather sage chakra would be a good idea, since it seems to take some time to do. I think the Nightcrawler-esque style he uses is just fine; ridiculous even, but in a good way. I really like how his style contrasts with Naruto, even though they have a few similarities. Naruto with access to crazy teleporting powers would be absolute overkill, although I do agree that something should be done to increase his speed.
There's nothing stopping frogs from fusing with Minato to gather sage chakra while he fights.

Minato must be japanese for whitebeard
That was just unbelievably awesome, but i can't shake the feeling the Tobi will find a way out of it somehow
And another attack from the games makes it into the manga ( Minato teleport rasengan), this just solidifies even more that kishi is a consultant for them.
But yeah awesome chapter, it seems minato has a pretty large chakra pool himself, that or the space time jutsu's require little chakra.
Meh, it was a pretty obvious application of both jutsus though
Also didn't ultimate ninja cheat a bit? I recall that he didn't really teleport towards a seal, just automatically behind them
There was a seal on the kunai he threw.
On one special yeah, i'm talking about his rasengan where he just popped up behind you if you charged it to the max
sorry. I can't resist.
I also can't directly link to 1:39.
so yeah.
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Yes a tiny bit, but this could be overseen as in the specials he plants a seal on the opponent. You could just see it as the opponent having one of those seals on them the whole fight.
I guess throwing a kunai before hand would just make the move inescapable/overpowered, and for gameplay purposes they just made it easier to dodge.
But yeah I just mentioned that because in an interview for ultimate ninja 2 I think it was, CC2 mentioned they consult with kishi for every move they want to put in it.
Goku was much more awesome though, he teleported right in front of him and blasted his face off
Yeah but you don't want clones from generation to generation. It's good if Minato doesn't know the Sage arts, it means he has his own unique style of fighting. Remember he developed the Rasengan himself so he must have done it to add to his armoury and hence his own fighting style.
I think what would be cool is if Naruto learnt some sealing techniques, as that would def take him on to another level. If he could learn how to seal up say the tailed beasts or some bloodline limit (Sharingan pehaps) then he would def be a legendary fighter in his own right.

Were we ever told that the second hokage was good with space-time jutsus?
