For a Character that is supposed to be as smart as Minato he sure was a complete idiot. What I am talking about is

the night he died and sealed the Kyubi is Naruto. If you actually think about what he did it makes absolutely no sense

and should have gotten them all killed. First of all he did not have to die. Either he could have let Kushina who was

going to die anyway drag the Kyubi with her to her death or seal the whole thing inside of Naruto. Instead he chooses to

use the reaper death seal to kill himself to split it in half and seal one half in Naruto. The stupid thing is that him

unnecessarily killing himself completely ignored the greatest threat which was the masked man. As far as he knows at

the time while he defeated the mask man in battle, the masked man still escaped and was still out there as a threat.

He knows the masked man has a a powerful space time jutsu that only he can counter and even marked him which

means he should be able to easily track him down no matter where he hid. So what does Minato do? He pointlessly

kills himself without so much as even telling anyone about the masked man being a threat out there who caused the

Kyubi attack. So the manga tries to justify what he did by saying he sealed the half of the Kyubi in Naruto to

eventually defeat the masked man. Do you know how dumb this is. Even under the best of circumstances that means

it would take over a decade for Naruto to grow up to potentially compete with the masked man. What the hell was

there to stop him from immediately attacking the village again and kidnapping Naruto before he grows up? The

answer is nothing but dumb plot. If he had lived he could have used the mark to track the masked man down and

defeated him once and for all which would have stopped the Akatski just when they were getting started. Think of all

the other things that could have been prevented if Minato had at least told the villages the masked man who he

suspected was Madara caused the Kyubi attack? They would have at least tried to prepare against him and would not

have blamed the rest of the Uchiha clan which was one of the main causes that led to them attempting the coupt. All

in all I think Kishi just did a horrible job trying to justify Minato's actions that night when you actually look into it

closely.

Wow you even double spaced

Unfortunately Minato was too fodder to stop Kyuubi
But yeah I'm pretty sure no one died to seal Kyuubi into Mito and Kushina if I remember correctly

i think the issue was that he needed to seal half inside of HIM. Naruto was too young to handle the entire kyuubi. Kushina was a kid, but not a little baby

I look at it like this if he would have let Kushina die the none tails would be reborn but he sealed half of it inside of himself and the other inside of his son but everything else that happened was stupid

If Minato had not died he would have teleported to Pedobito the next day and killed his ass. It was plot.

It's the hokage's duty to protect the village. The moment obito left he was no longer a threat but the Kyuubi was. The most stupidest thing he could have done in the manga was to challenge Itachi but he didn't so he's a great character.

Yeah I think this comes down to Kishi being a bad writer.

There's also the fact that Kushina blocked everyone out from the area. Its dumb because everyone that was coming to help from Konoha, especially Hiruzen, could have helped seal the kyuubi.

He chose to be the hero and die for his Village. He already explained why he didn't want Kushina to leave his son alone with him. He wanted to use the Reaper Death Seal to seal the Kyubi within himself. He had no choice but to do that because his backup was nowhere near him.

The most important thing is that he trusted his son to carry out his job. It was over for Minato anyways. What was funny was the fact that he also ran into the Kyuubi's nail after Kushina had already done that. Minato is praised for saving the village and for his son's sake he had to perish.

Okay first of all the KYUUBI WAS THE MAJOR THING ATTACKING THE VILLAGE. Minato was trying to take down the biggest thing which was the Kyuubi, he wasn't able to do everything, he's not a god for Combichrist's sake. His story was what created the whole thing to begin with, if he hadn't done what he did then Naruto wouldn't have grown up to be the Naruto of his generation. Minato HAD to die alongside Kushina because Naruto had to know the feeling of great pain and lonliness in order to come up from that and to take a stand to be the hero. Had he NOT been burdened with the seal, then there would have been no way he could have gone to the level that he went to. And we didn't know the whole story from point A to point B what we first saw was a man who rid the village of a Kyuubi and sealed it into a child AND THEN came out that it was the Fourth Hokage who did it AND THEN came out that it was his son AND THEN came out that an Uchiha had controlled the Kyuubi AND THEN came that Madara was behind everything AND THEN Obito AND THEN all of the Uchiha AND THEN Itachi's actual story and so on and so forth. We didn't see all of that when it was just beginning. You're not about to de-plot a whole story by taking away from what it first looked like, which was a man, who sealed a beast to save his village.

There is 2 reasons why this thread is stupid:
1-there was a reason why minato decided to seal the kyubi in himself instead of kushina, if the once the person who cast the jutsu him along of the soul who he absorved will spend the eternity fighting each other

If minato sealed the kyubi in to kushina she would have spended the eternity being tortured by the kyubi and thats not something minato would want no?(and that also explains why minato entered in kcm in the war so casually becouse he has been fighting the kyubi since that day!)

2-There was nobody else to tell about madara since they had created a barier to seal the kyubi

And shure the only one who was there was this thing

but even then he dint even believed that madara was the one that attacked the village when jiraya told him so why would he believe in minato.

Obito was about 17-18 years old...

OT:
I don't think that was dumb really, it's just how the plot began... Minato being a smart guy was introduced later, also in Kyuubi incident, emotions got into his plans that's why it all turned into a mess.
