The konoha ninjas did way better than I thought. In the beginning of the series they made the incident out to be a massive slaughter. Less of the city was destroyed and more ninja survived than the anime made it out to be. The fourth also seemed like he would have killed madara. The fourth made it seem like he couldn't win when he referenced fighting him. It seems to me that only time was working against him, which is pretty ironic considering he is the fastest being in the series.
Wait, so.... what? "Permanently seal half the kyubi's power along with myself"? Would that be the half consumed by the death god, or what? I still don't get how he knows how to do all these things that you obviously can't ever do more than once in your life.

I guess it`s one of those thing where we have to suspend our beleif, like how having a jinchuriiki die kills the bijuu as well, even though it never happened so no one has a real way of knowing.
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie
So a jinchuuriki's death gets rid of the beast... for a little while. I wonder how that works.
When the Shinigami is summoned it trades the user's life to seal the power of the intended target. In Sarutobi's case, he didn't have the power left to do anything but seal Oro's arms, so when his life was claimed the exchange was done. Minato doesn't have the power to begin with to seal the Kyuubi so he wants to seal half its chakra and stick the other half in Naruto.
Minato, Sarutobi and Oro's arms are playing catch in hell. At least that's what they've led us to believe.

Sarutobi said that the summoner and the victim are doomed to battle eternally inside the death god, or something like that. Then the death god cut off the 1st hokage, 2nd hokage, and the two Sarutobi clones' souls and ate them.
We know Minato suffered the same fate, yet Kyubi lived on inside Naruto.
I dunno.
His eyes are the same as Kurenai's eyes. Likely red with circles in them. Not a doujutsu.
Also, Kurenai's dad yelling to Kurenai through some weak-ass barrier about him wanting her to grow up to someday give him a grandchild made me roll my eyes. Thanks Kishi, you writing deity you.

Notice how Minato simply identifies his enemy and tries to take him out without needing a 6-chapter monologue of their reasons or trying to talk to them or change their nature? Why can't Naruto be as awesome as his pop?
P.S. Obito is no match for Minato.

So the 4th Hokage's high-level battles involve him teleporting around and smacking you with Rasengans and seals. Some pretty sweet seals at that, good enough to nullify your control over such immense power. Yeah he is pretty badass.
I <3 Minato.
He is probably my favorite character, just because they haven't had an opportunity to fuck up his character.
assertnfailure (7:40:03 PM): dude....your posts are a bunch of nonsense
4th Hokage won the battle but lost the war. He had to sacrifice himself and his wifu. No wonder Madara was saying he still have many options, I guess he is talking about Ithachi. However at that point he doesnt know who the next Jinchuriki would be and how well he would be protected.
kushina should have just taken kyubbi in and died
Pretty nice chapter.
"a seal on my body", and the games strike again ;P.
Pretty badass though how madara thought minato was trying something, that minato was actually already done doing.
-----------------
Yeah, it seems that would have made it so that both Naruto and Minato would still be alive. It would be win win. I guess it could be to ruin Madara's plan and to let Kushina see Naruto again. Whatever Madara was planning, Minato was worried that he could get the Kyuubi again, but if he sealed half of it, Madara might not be able to complete his plan anymore. We still don't know it's Madara yet, actually.
I think Minato was on his "my son is the dude of destiny" crap.
*nods* This is the second time he does this. In this case, I think the line was akin to "I couldn't figure him out at all!" Now we find out he had his foot throat deep in madara's rectum. And I know I said this already, but just last chapter, he was like "the only chance I have is to trade blows with him." And then he didn't trade blows at all, but put his foot in the aforementioned place at the aforementioned depth. I think it's just a personality trait of his, excessive humility...to the point of being a liar. He's totally awesome though.
Now, everything that wasn't Minato related, blew chunks.

think its was madaras hand he cut off or smth since he does seals with two hands at the end :P
As suspected, Minato is the most bad ass character in the manga.
This chapter opened up a huge debate:
- Is Minato so fucking Whitebeard or is Whitebeard so fucking Minato?
The badassery levels of both characters are beyond mere words.
Also lol at Kishimoto and female characters: "You'll stay at home, cook me dinner and make babies!"
this chapter brought tears
god damn minato's badass
quite the sacrafice
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
