Could Minato have stopped the Uchiha clan Massacre

[Urda]

minato knows pretty well that it requires a powerful person like madara to control the size of the nine tail demon fox. not all uchihas have the power of madara. if obito was able to control nine tail demon fox was because of the infused chakra of hashirama. Minato is smart enough to rule out the uchiha clan. Minato was recognized as a genius by the village. Not only third hokage would have been on his side but also many others. danzou wouldn't have been able to say anything had minato survived

Not smart enough to realize that Tobi was Obito. But OK.

besides obito wouldnt have been to set a foot on konoha had minato survived because the village would have been on alert mode. He was already marked and minato is sensory type. The only reason why minato decided to die was because he wanted to give his son the power of the nine tail demon fox. He wanted his son to be like bee. He knew his son would have been able to use the power of the nine tail demon fox. He could have very well let the nine tail demon fox go but obito would have taken it under his possession again. With the power of the nine tail demon fox, he would have gone to other villages and probably cause an outbreak between villages since they all knew konoha was the only one with the possession of the nine tail demon fox. Another war would have started between them. Obito would have used that chance to get the other tailed beast and so on. it would have been another story had minato decided to survived and let the nine tail demon fox scape. this time it would have been all four great nations against konoha

back then he didn't introduced himself as tobi. Besides minato was more worried about what was happening to his village rather than the identity of the mask guy. He wanted to finish with him as soon as possible before there was no village to return to.

Against whose personality? That same man that murdered hundreds of Iwa's shinobi in the very same manner because they were a threat to Konoha? I don't think you understand what does it mean to be Hokage, bruh.

And how would it had made situation worse if it would've prevented any coup what so ever? The whole clan being alive and well, just guaranted to not attack Konoha due to being marked, is worse than the whole clan wiped out? :| Awesome logic.

Dude marking people because of their bloodline is what the Nazis did. Killing people you're at war with is one thing, branding an entire group because they people are suspicious of them is another. Minato believed in the whole those who betray their freinds are worse than scum thing. He wouldn't have done it.

And putting markings on the Uchiha would just further antagonize them and c'mon, let's be real here, they probably would just seal the marks and pull the coup regardless. If Kakashi could seal a curse mark easily, I'm pretty sure the Uchiha could neutralize the FTG seals.

But you can't ignore the fact.....

The only requirement to stop massacre are that he must have been stronger than Danzo and Fugaku. He was stronger than both so yes.

whats he going to do to the uchiha? beat them into submission?

apparently people consider that to be the correct course of action. there nothing he could've done; the seeds of hate had already been sown, it was too late. it wasn't a matter of if but when. the massacre only happened to 1. avoid war, 2. avoid political and military weakness to other nations, 3. preserve the uchiha names legacy, and 4. to allow itachi to have a feasible chance to save sasuke without abandoning the leafs will.

Not beating down into submission literally but yeah. Do you know how wars are won, opposing forces don't kill the entire country. Only the head at first, them others stay quiet as the most powerful person is down. If someone else rises, slash him too. Only murdering a handful of people has contained extermination at country levels (not in manga) so it would be easier at the clan level. Sure long term effects would have been worsened but short term, massacare would have contained with only a few heads slaughtered. Much less than the whole clan.

The above is IF (and that is a big IF) his words won't reach both sides. One side, Hiruzen was weak. He was not. Danzo or whoever could not have dared to cross him. Secondly he was smart too and if he would have survived , I doubt he would have blamed it himself on the Uchihas. He could have shown his support to Uchiha in this matter and that would have made their slaughter unnecessary anyway.

Only those who are able to control the Kyuubi are Hashirama and the Uchiha. So, the suspension would have still be on the Uchiha Clan. It is unknown, but him stopping the massacre would not make a difference as the Uchiha upraising is a cause that would bring about War on a global scale and further hurt Konoha.

Yeah, but the whole cause of the chaos following the attack was the loss of leadership when Minato died. I'm asking if he had survived, would he have been able to prevent the discrimination that caused the coop in the first place.

"Lost of Leadership"? You know the Third Hokage came out of re-tire right.

Yeah, but it still messed stuff up. If the President dies, things don't smoothly flow over into the Vice presidents hands. There's some chaos and confusion before stuff settles down.

Yeah, they pretty much do.

Not smart enough to realize that Tobi was Obito. But OK.

Half his body was Hashirama cells. And when an Uchiha's hatred grows, their chakra becomes unrecognisable. It's no different to karin not being able to identify Kabutos chakra.

Besides, the whole ninja world thought he was Madara without question. I don't think smartness has anything to do with recognising someone, especially when said person was pronounced dead. Not to mention his identity wasn't minatos concern.

Not if he knew they intend to start a rebellion, you're forgetting about that. It's the same, the difference is that such move would prevent a civil war. He would very much do that in order to save both Konoha and Uchiha, it's a very civil way to do so.

And putting markings on the Uchiha would just further antagonize them and c'mon, let's be real here, they probably would just seal the marks and pull the coup regardless. If Kakashi could seal a curse mark easily, I'm pretty sure the Uchiha could neutralize the FTG seals.

You can't neutralize the FTG seal according to the manga:

i tell you one thing

if naruto existed back them, he surely would have.

 

[EVlL]

he would've. made kushina talked to mikoto, and himself negotiated with fugaku. even if the war had still happened, he would've still been able to stop with the help from itachi, shisui, hiruzen.

Dawg you're making up fanfiction Minato here. This is the same guy that stopped Kakashi from killing Obito and forgave him without question. The same Obito who killed thousands of Konoha shinobi during the Kyubi attack and the war, the same Obito who tried to kill his new born baby and killed his wife.

If Minato can protect that piece of trash then I'm sure he'd try to save the family of his wife's best friend, and the family of that piece of trash Obito.

 

[kent250]

Minato couldnt protect his disciples from dying, i dont think it would make a difference.

 

[irishboy9780]

Probably not. Uchiha uprising was a long time coming. if it wasn't itachi they would been massacred by the village.
