4th = Naruto

use your edit button in the bottom right hand corner of your post instead of double posting


and the fourth probably felt no need or did not know he would be sealed inside the demon gods body

most likely the fourth used a shiki fuuijin to remove kyuubis soul a second seal to place kyuubi into naruto and seal it instead of letting the death god eat it

and maybe used another seal to place the fourths soul inside of naruto but i doubt it cause i doubt the death god would go for that i bet your locked into having you soul taken as soon as you use the jutsu

Yes two different techniques must have been performed to seal Kyuubi into Naruto. The 4th was just a catalyst for the second technique(which we have no idea what it is yet)
Also, I think Kishimoto wouldn't make the story played out with a reincarnation thing for Naruto. It would just be lame. "Oh wait Naruto you don't have to go through all that stuff!! Your ALREADY Hokage."
Also I think a "4th is Naruto's father" would make an intersting flashback. We could see who Naruto's mother is and see how they met, blah blah, etc.

Unfortanely, were not going to find out for a while methinks. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
