Were Tobirama and Minato the last shinobi to perform Flying Raijin? Is there
anyone else to know that jutsu?

And why was it not passed onto his students(Kakashi) /sensei(Jiraya)?

I know Jiraya mastered Rasengan after looking at Minato's Rasengan. Kakashi
passed Chidori to Sasuke.Jiraya passed Rasengan to Naruto. So why did Tobirama
or Minato not pass Flying Raijin onto their disciples?

Why wasn't flying Raijin passed onto other shinobi by second or fourth hokage?


You have to understand that not all people can master all jutsus. They have
their limitation no matter how prodigious they are. Tobirama and Minato can
pull off that Jutsu because they were the fastest shinobis and had insane
reflexes. Their extensive use of this jutsu had earned Minato the nickname of
"Konoha's Yellow Flash".

Of course, Minato or Tobirama would have wanted to teach the Jutsu to their
students but they must have realized that not all can perform the Jutsu/their
body can't handle the power/the body is not suited for that Jutsu nature.
That's the reason, masters decide whom to teach which Jutsu (e.g. Kakashi
taught Sasuke Chidori instead of Naruto).

Minato actually passed it, but as a variant.

As @FumiKage said everyone dosen't possess the requirements to do Flyng
Raijin.

So he taught a special variant of it to Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi and
Iwashi Tatami. They were chosen as personal bodyguards of Minato.

Those three are required to do it and they could teleport something or someone
instantly with it to some place. This variant kind of works like FTG barrier
Minato used to teleport the Bijuudama away during Nine-tails attack.

As in episode 323, they teleport Mei to battlefield with it.
