That move earned him a nickname among his enemies: Konoha's Yellow Flash. The technique is based on marks: Minato throws special kunai engraved with a formula and can appear instantly wherever any of them is. It is his most famous resource and makes him almost impossible to catch. Kakashi receives one of those kunai as a gift when he is promoted to jōnin.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-242","pos":242},{"h":"Against the masked man","t":"In the memories of the night of the Nine-Tails' attack, Minato uses the Flying Thunder God against the masked man: he leaves a mark on his body, appears behind him and wounds him; marks can go on kunai, on objects or on people, though the rival can also let attacks pass through him. With the same technique, Minato moves the Nine-Tails far from the village. The technique is not Kamui: Minato does not pass through another dimension, he travels to his marks.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-503","pos":503},{"h":"The creator","t":"In the war it becomes clear that the Flying Thunder God was created by Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, and perfected by Minato. Tobirama uses it in combat, and Minato, reanimated, moves Naruto and Sasuke around and protects the Alliance by teleporting attacks away. The two coordinate their marks to move many people at once. The Flying Thunder God is not an Uzumaki technique, even though Minato was married to one. With the formula they can also send enemy attacks far away, a defensive variant that proves key in the war.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-650","pos":650},{"h":"Boruto learns it","t":"In Two Blue Vortex, Boruto uses the Flying Thunder God to arrive in time to rescue his sister and Sarada. Koji explains that Boruto uses marks to teleport, just like his grandfather. The technique returns to Minato's family, but Boruto learned it during his years away from Konoha; he did not inherit it automatically. Being able to use it does not mean he masters all of Minato's techniques: the story shows this specific use, tied to his marks and his training.","lvl":3,"ch":"tbv-16","pos":796}],"characters":["minato"],"related":["shunshin","kamui","ninjutsu"],"reference":"Naruto, chapters 240–244 and 502–503: Minato, marks and movement.","sources":[{"title":"Minato: el nacimiento de Naruto y el sellado del Nueve Colas","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1519"}],"figures":["
