<p>Minato actually passed it, but as a variant.</p>
<p>As @FumiKage said everyone  dosen't possess the requirements to do Flyng Raijin.</p>
<p>So he taught a special variant of it to Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi and Iwashi Tatami. They were chosen as personal bodyguards of Minato.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>As in episode 323, they teleport Mei to battlefield with it.</p>

<p>Were Tobirama and Minato the last shinobi to perform Flying Raijin? Is there anyone else to know that jutsu?</p>
<p>And why was it not passed onto his students(Kakashi) /sensei(Jiraya)?</p>
<p>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?</p>

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