Why would the young Minato give his life over the old Hiruzen? Hiruzen couldn’t believe it but due to the Nine-Tailed beast situation, he pulled through and stayed put. Goodbye Hiruzen.” Minato, with a tear rolling down his ntinued doing the handsigns. now please, I ask that you make Konohagakure as great as it was when you were Hokage, for I was not able to match your success as Hokage. Hiruzen, you will now be Hokage, I mean Jesus again. Despite all the security, the masked man can teleport via a vacuum like system. but I am no Hiruzen, therefore I am not worthy. I may be the current Hokage and the fastest shinobi to ever exist. The village needs their current Hokage! The young Yellow Flash of the Leaf, Minato Namikaze!” Hiruzen: “I will do it.” Hiruzen then chuckled “After all, I am old and have already done my duty for the village. Minato: Minato temporarily stopped his handsigns as he saw Hiruzen arrive. (This is when Hiruzen arrives and sees the barrier.) “Hiruzen Sarutobi Shinden Novel: Chapter 69, “A Final Blow” After that, I will continue exposing Minato and clean up Hiruzen’s name. Before I continue, allow me to show you this from chapter 69, from Hiruzen’s Shinden Novel. But as we all know, the obvious stuff happened after, because it was shown in the anime duh. Hiruzen quickly understood that his time has come, for he had to ensure Konoha’s safety, at the cost of his life of course.

In the Novel, it was shown that Hiruzen offered himself instead, to do the Reaper Death Seal, as he felt responsible for the tight security getting bypassed by Obito, the masked man. yes, it’s because Minato is such a diva and a baby, one who wants all the attention and the spotlight. This was the perfect timing for Hiruzen to give his life, for the village. Like come on, a young Hokage who is th fastest Shinobi? Instead of an old Hiruzen who could’ve died like this, rightfully for his village, as he was old and already did a lot for Konohagakure and its people. I know that many question Minato being the one to use the Reaper Death Seal during the Nine-Tails attack. Minato sealed Yang Kurama into Naruto by becoming Yin Kurama's jinchuriki and at the cost of his life.Okay guys, I just read all 69 chapters of the Hiruzen Shinden and omg, I am so mad.

But the loss of using the Reaper Death Seal is that, it seals the user's life too. So essentially, Minato did become the Yin Kurama's jinchuriki and remained that way. Also, the Reaper Death Seal allowed Minato to choose which half of Kurama should be sealed into Naruto. So the Kurama's power could be brought down to seal him into Naruto. Since the entire Kyuubi couldn't be sealed into the infant Naruto, Minato had to use the Reaper Death Seal. Minato and Kushina decided that Naruto could become the said child of prophecy with the power of the Kyuubi.

Kushina was dying because of the Tailed Beast extraction and therefore she wasn't capable (or wouldn't survive) of becoming a Jinchuriki again.ĭue to the aforementioned reasons, Minato decided to seal the Yang half into Naruto (so Naruto could harness the power for good) and the Yin half into himself (as sealing the entire Kurama wasn't possible).

Also, the entire Nine Tails' chakra was too immense to be sealed into an infant.

Minato tells Kushina that sealing the complete Kyuubi was not physically possible and they had to split the beast into the Yin and Yang halves for the sealing.Minato decided to seal Kurama into Naruto, primarily because of Jiraiya's words about the 'Child of Prophecy', thinking/knowing that Naruto could utilize the Tailes Beast's power to be the saviour of the ninja world.
