To activate this technique, the user places a special seal or {{translation|"technique formula"|術式|jutsu-shiki}} to mark an intended destination. After this is done, they can at will enter a dimensional void that instantaneously teleport them to the location of the seal. The mark can be applied to almost any area through brief physical contact, including an opponent or other surrounding feature.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 503, page 3</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 543, page 2</ref> Because this technique is able to affect anything that is in contact with the user or somehow connected to their chakra,<ref name="chpt639p13">''Naruto'' chapter 639, page 13</ref> they can also use this technique to teleport other objects or people, though the size of the object and the distance of the location dictates the amount of chakra required.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 503, page 10</ref> As Minato also noted, the marking formula never disappears from a marked target.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 637, page 15</ref>

Before the Flying Thunder God Technique can be performed, users must first mark a target with their {{translation|"technique formula"|術式|jutsu-shiki}}.<ref name="d2"/> The formula is applied after the merest touch and cannot be removed; it will remain in place even after the user has died.<ref name="c637">''Naruto'' chapter 637, page 15</ref> There is seemingly no limit to how many targets can be marked with technique formulas, as [[Minato Namikaze]] routinely uses dozens at a time.<ref name="c242">''Naruto'' chapter 242, pages 4-5</ref> A user's [[shadow clone]]s also seem to double as a kind of technique formula.<ref> Naruto chapter 639, page 12</ref>

By entering a dimensional void, users can instantly teleport to a technique formula's location whenever they please, regardless of distance.<ref name="c543">''Naruto'' chapter 543, pages 1-3</ref> To an onlooker, it may look like the [[Body Replacement Technique]], but the Flying Thunder God actually has more in common with the [[Summoning Technique]].<ref name="d2"/> Anything that the user is holding, contacting, or that is linked with their [[chakra]] will teleport with them,<ref name="c639">''Naruto'' chapter 639, page 9</ref> but this requires additional chakra to do; particularly large objects can require so much chakra as to place a limit on how far away the user is able to teleport.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 503, pages 11-12</ref> Users can choose to teleport to a different location than the objects,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 631, pages 8-9</ref> or they can teleport objects without teleporting themselves.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 673, page 9</ref>
== Usage ==
 
=== Tobirama Senju ===
 
As its creator, Tobirama's skill with this technique, combined with his natural speed and reflexes lead him to be hailed as the fastest shinobi of his time.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 661, page 10</ref> As the general basis of the technique, Tobirama uses a unique seal to mark his targets, tools, or desired location to teleport himself to instantly. With it, he was able to not only deflect [[Obito Uchiha]]'s [[Truth-Seeking Ball]] but to also return it to him before it could expand. He is also skilled enough to teleport not only himself, but other people along with him.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 627, page 12</ref>
 
   
  +
In combat situations, the Flying Thunder God can most effectively be used by marking an opponent's body with the technique formula, allowing the user to teleport to them at anytime: when the marked opponent tries to attack, the user can attack them first;<ref name="c543"/> when the marked opponent tries to escape, the user can instantly appear at their side.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 240, pages 8-10</ref> ''[[Tō no Sho]]'' likens this to a [[juinjutsu]], in that anyone marked with the technique formula is essentially sentenced to death.<ref name="d2"/> While trying to find an opportunity to mark opponents, the Flying Thunder God also gives users a defensive option, as they can teleport away from an opponent's attacks. In order to take advantage of this, the technique formula is often applied to projectile weapons, such as Minato's [[Flying Thunder God Kunai|special kunai]], which can quickly be scattered around a battlefield to create several teleportation destinations that can be escaped to and subsequently attacked from.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 542, pages 13-15</ref>
From this technique, Tobirama could also perform techniques such as the [[Flying Thunder God Slash]] — a technique that compliments his [[bukijutsu]] prowess by incorporating this technique's instantaneous teleportation, able to land a mortal wound on [[Izuna Uchiha]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 624, page 11</ref> Another one of these derived techniques is the [[Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving Technique]], which allows him to switch places at any point in time with another Flying Thunder God Technique user that he has marked. Tobirama also displayed the ability to apply his seal to a regular kunai, giving them a function similar to Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai.
 
   
  +
Both Tobirama and Minato were famed as the fastest shinobi during their lifetimes.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 661, page 9</ref> While both were very fast on their own, the Flying Thunder God also contributed to their fame. During the [[Third Shinobi World War]], Minato's extensive usage of the Flying Thunder God led to his moniker as "[[Konoha]]'s Yellow Flash":<ref name="d2"/> he would randomly appear behind enemy lines and, by seemingly being in many places at once, wipe out whole squadrons before they had time to react.<ref name="c242"/> By combining their naturally good reflexes with the instantaneousness of the Flying Thunder God, Tobirama could intercept and redirect a [[Truth-Seeking Ball]] mid-detonation<ref name="c641"/> and Minato could escape [[Kamui]] mid-capture.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 502, page 10</ref> Minato's ability to dodge [[Fourth Raikage|A]]'s [[Lightning Release Chakra Mode]] led A to dub Minato the fastest ninja who ever lived.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 541, page 7</ref>
He can also link his Flying Thunder God Technique with other users' marks, enabling him to jump or even send individuals to the location of their markings, or otherwise connected to their chakra without physically going with them himself.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 650, pages 5-6</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 673, page 11</ref>
 
   
  +
When both Tobirama and Minato are [[Impure World Reincarnation|revived]] during the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], they connect each others' Flying Thunder God networks, allowing them to teleport to the other's technique formulas.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 650, page 3</ref> Together, they develop the [[Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving Technique]], which allows them to switch places with each other in combat to set-up different manoeuvres.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 641, pages 14-15</ref> During their lives, both developed their own variants of the Flying Thunder God: Tobirama had the [[Flying Thunder God Slash]], which he used to stab opponents the instant he teleported to their side;<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 624, page 11</ref> Minato had [[Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder]], which created a [[barrier]] in front of him that teleported incoming attacks to a different location.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 502, page 9</ref>
=== Minato Namikaze ===
 
Due to his exploits with this technique, Minato Namikaze gained the moniker of {{translation|Konoha's Yellow Flash|木ノ葉の黄色い閃光|Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō}}.<ref name="db2"/> Minato most commonly applied the formula in advance to his [[Flying Thunder God Kunai|special kunai]], which he would scatter all over the battlefield when a fight commenced, so that they could be teleported to at any time.<ref name="ch542">''Naruto'' chapter 542, pages 13-14</ref> Using such tactics, [[Konohagakure]] even proved victorious in a battle against [[Iwagakure]] during the [[Third Shinobi World War]], despite already being vastly outnumbered, by appearing randomly into the enemy's lines, using his great speed to seemingly be in several places at once and wipe out entire squadrons before they could even react.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 242, pages 4-5</ref> With his great reflexes, he could use the [[Flying Thunder God — Second Step]] to teleport at short-range, allowing him simultaneously dodge an attack and strike at the opponent's blind-spot.
 
 
This technique — combined with Minato's prodigious natural speed and reflexes made him the fastest ninja to ever live according to [[Fourth Raikage|A]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 541, page 8</ref> The technique is fast enough to even allow Minato to escape being [[Kamui|warped]] away, despite having already been partially sucked in,<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 502, page 10</ref> and dodge A's [[Lightning Straight|top-speed attack]].<ref name="ch542"/> Minato could also incorporate the formula into other seals, such as that of his [[Kushina|wife]], allowing him to come immediately to her aid at any time.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 501, page 7</ref> Minato also has the ability to send people to different markings simultaneously through direct contact with either himself or his chakra.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 631, pages 8-9</ref><ref name="chpt639p13"/> Minato's shadow clone can use the technique to summon the original to its position.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 639, page 16</ref> His prowess with this technique has made it Minato's signature technique.
 
 
Minato — like Tobirama — derived original techniques from this one. One of them is [[Spiralling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Three]], in which he uses Flying Thunder God Technique in combination with [[Shadow Clone Technique]]. He can also use the [[Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder]] which can warp away anything in contact, such as the [[Tailed Beast Ball]]. Minato also can use the [[Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving Technique]], which he performed with Tobirama on the battlefield to devastating effects on [[Obito Uchiha]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 641, page 15</ref>

* Although it is often compared with the [[Body Flicker Technique]], the speed and range of this technique are much greater. Fundamentally, this technique is more similar to the [[Summoning Technique]] than the Body Flicker Technique, as it revolves around the [[Space–Time Ninjutsu|manipulation of the space–time continuum]] rather than simply accelerated movement.

This article is about the ninjutsu. For other uses, see Hiraishin.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is a space–time ninjutsu created by Tobirama Senju.[2]

Overview

Flying Thunder God Technique

Minato's formula (left) and Tobirama's formula (right).

Before the Flying Thunder God Technique can be performed, users must first mark a target with their "technique formula" (術式, jutsu-shiki).[1] The formula is applied after the merest touch and cannot be removed; it will remain in place even after the user has died.[3] There is seemingly no limit to how many targets can be marked with technique formulas, as Minato Namikaze routinely uses dozens at a time.[4] A user's shadow clones also seem to double as a kind of technique formula.[5]

By entering a dimensional void, users can instantly teleport to a technique formula's location whenever they please, regardless of distance.[6] To an onlooker, it may look like the Body Replacement Technique, but the Flying Thunder God actually has more in common with the Summoning Technique.[1] Anything that the user is holding, contacting, or that is linked with their chakra will teleport with them,[7] but this requires additional chakra to do; particularly large objects can require so much chakra as to place a limit on how far away the user is able to teleport.[8] Users can choose to teleport to a different location than the objects,[9] or they can teleport objects without teleporting themselves.[10]

In combat situations, the Flying Thunder God can most effectively be used by marking an opponent's body with the technique formula, allowing the user to teleport to them at anytime: when the marked opponent tries to attack, the user can attack them first;[6] when the marked opponent tries to escape, the user can instantly appear at their side.[11] Tō no Sho likens this to a juinjutsu, in that anyone marked with the technique formula is essentially sentenced to death.[1] While trying to find an opportunity to mark opponents, the Flying Thunder God also gives users a defensive option, as they can teleport away from an opponent's attacks. In order to take advantage of this, the technique formula is often applied to projectile weapons, such as Minato's special kunai, which can quickly be scattered around a battlefield to create several teleportation destinations that can be escaped to and subsequently attacked from.[12]

Both Tobirama and Minato were famed as the fastest shinobi during their lifetimes.[13] While both were very fast on their own, the Flying Thunder God also contributed to their fame. During the Third Shinobi World War, Minato's extensive usage of the Flying Thunder God led to his moniker as "Konoha's Yellow Flash":[1] he would randomly appear behind enemy lines and, by seemingly being in many places at once, wipe out whole squadrons before they had time to react.[4] By combining their naturally good reflexes with the instantaneousness of the Flying Thunder God, Tobirama could intercept and redirect a Truth-Seeking Ball mid-detonation[2] and Minato could escape Kamui mid-capture.[14] Minato's ability to dodge A's Lightning Release Chakra Mode led A to dub Minato the fastest ninja who ever lived.[15]

When both Tobirama and Minato are revived during the Fourth Shinobi World War, they connect each others' Flying Thunder God networks, allowing them to teleport to the other's technique formulas.[16] Together, they develop the Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving Technique, which allows them to switch places with each other in combat to set-up different manoeuvres.[17] During their lives, both developed their own variants of the Flying Thunder God: Tobirama had the Flying Thunder God Slash, which he used to stab opponents the instant he teleported to their side;[18] Minato had Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder, which created a barrier in front of him that teleported incoming attacks to a different location.[19]

Trivia

  • The name Hiraishin is also the phonic of the Japanese word 避雷針, which means "lightning rod". This may suggest the reasoning as to why the technique is restricted towards a seal, because lightning is attracted to lightning rods.
  • The Flying Thunder God Technique has sometimes been referred to as the Body Flicker Technique,[3] despite the fact that they are fundamentally different.
  • Minato incorporated the Flying Thunder God's mark into his wife's seal, allowing him to immediately come to her aid when needed.[20]
  • Although it's been said that the technique formula can't be removed, its marking has disappeared from individuals that have tailed beasts sealed into them[21] and extracted from them.[22]
  • In the anime, Minato's technique formula appears to say 忍愛之剣, made up of the kanji for "endurance" (, nin), "love" (, ai), "of" (), and "sword" (, ken). Tobirama's is more reminiscent of the formula used for seals – a random assortment of Kanji, Hindi script, and other symbols.
  • In video games, Minato's use of the Flying Thunder God Technique creates a yellow flash, in reference to his nickname.
