The point of the chain was to restrict Minato for a moment so he could turn around and touch him for Kamui. Also, Obito underestimated Naruto. He said he expected KCM but not Kurama Mode ("He's exceeded my expectations" was the line when Naruto was knocking aside the Biju).

Are you confused about why Obito would be distracted by the FTG kunai thrown at him? Well considering it was close quarters, it forced him to phase through it, Minato said he knew he'd have to become solid again to attack him. Obito saw Minato Body Flicker to save Kakashi, he only teleported Kakashi away when Chidori left him open. Obito never knew FTG (or at least Minato's version of it) allowed one to teleport to moving objects, all prior uses were done to stationary objects. I'm pretty sure he even says he didn't expect him to transport to a kunai in motion, I think.
