WARNING, This Theory is extremely detailed and fairly long, please only comment if you've taken the time to read it through and have fully heard me out, DO NOT just go off of the first two paragraphs, Thank you.
Opening
So earlier i was researching the facts involving usage of The Dead Demon Consuming Seal and it got me thinking, Why exactly did Minato specifically state that him, (not being a Jinchuruki) meant that he possessed the ability to use it? After contemplating i came up with a theory of my own, For the record i'm not saying i'm right at all but then, i'm not saying i could be wrong either. Here goes..
First Paragraph
Upon first reading this i automatically came to the same conclusion as i'm sure most of you had, 'This must mean that Jinchuruki are unable to perform the Dead Demon Consuming Seal', but is this really the case? I started thinking about the way Kishi depicts the Manga chapters, the way he makes certain parts of the story tie in with each other without revealing much, finally i came to a realization of my own, Kishimoto is very clever with the way he uses words. He has never written a single word that would leave us in possession of information he wouldn't want us to know.
Second Paragraph
Let's think back to a few months ago to when everyone was racking their brains trying to come up with the identity of Tobi (The Masked Man) Tobi was nothing short of a mystery to everyone, an Enigma of sorts. Up until (The Masked Man) Practically every IMPORTANT character of the Narutoverse had had their backgrounds explored to some extent, Whether it was Hashirama defeating the legendary Madara Uchiha, becoming The First Hokage and establishing the start of The Village Hidden in the Leaves, or The Fourth Hokage, Sacrificing himself for Konoha and sealing The 9tails inside the body of a child, from the beginning we were always given even the tiniest pieces of intel on any character who had influenced the Naruto storyline in some way, but then along came Tobi.
Third Paragraph
When Tobi was first introduced we knew nothing about him, beside the fact that he was a potential Akatsuki candidate, fast forward to the Five Kage summit and we were still completely in the dark. Where was he from? How old was he? Why was he here? questions we were all asking, none us having any of the answers to whatsoever. Kishi had sucessfully created a character with absolutely no identity at all, a character who didn't seem to care who he was, all he seemed to care about what the eye of the moon plan, eventually he began referring to himself as Madara Uchiha, but that couldn't be right? Madara Uchiha had been dead for more than 80years, Surely he couldn't still be alive right? WRONG.
Fourth Paragraph
In reality, it was possible that Tobi could have been Madara the entire time if Kishi had decided to Make it so, Why? for one simple reason, Kishi never ever stated once that Madara Uchiha died during his battle with Hashirama, the whole time Madara was PRESUMED dead, not dead, being human beings we see the word dead and ultimately come to that conclusion. The same with Obito, When it was revealed Tobi was Obito, most had the same reactions, ''No way'' ''It cant be!'' ''Obito's dead'' WRONG once again. In reality Kishi had never once stated Obito was dead either, the possibility of him being alive this whole time was always there, based on opinions of him from watching Kakashi Chronicles we just never thought in a million years it could be him or that he could ever be that powerful, We assumed power played the most important part, disregarded Motive & Character until ultimately are own assumptions got the better of us.
Fifth Paragraph
Which brings me to my Theory about Jinchuruki and using The Dead Demon Consuming Seal, what if the reason why Minato said what he said was because no one actually knows what would happen? Maybe The Dead Demon Consuming Seal has actually never been used by a Jinchuruki before? It's been stated possible countless times that the Jutsu may have actually been invented by The Fourth & Third Hokage, It's only natural that being a relatively new Jutsu it just hadn't had the opportunity to be used by a Jinchuruki yet? With Kushina being the only Tailed beast in the Hidden Leaf, as well as the wife of Minato of course he wouldn't have wanted her to try it out for him, who would want to experiment on someone they love with a Jutsu that required them to sacrifice their life? it makes perfect sense.
Theory
My Theory is that The Dead Demon Consuming Seal is an Incomplete Jutsu. Maybe The fact that being a Jinchuruki mean's you're able to perfect the Jutsu by reversing the seal and releasing the trapped souls to the afterlife? Maybe at the cost of the soul of the Tailed beast? or Maybe having a tailed beast inside you disrupts the make up of the Jutsu? Similar to how Jinchuruki who are placed under a Genjutsu can be freed from it by their Tailed beast? Maybe The Death Reaper can't claim the souls of Jinchuruki who use this technique because it cant take more than one soul at one time? I feel like this would be a perfect way to Bring the Past Hokage back to aid in the climax of the war, Naruto fighting along side his predecessors would be an awesome way to end it all right?
Conclusion
Anyways that's the end of my extremely long and detailed Theory
My point is remember to question everything and anything, if something seems like it isn't what it is made out to be than chances are it probably isn't, Context is Kishi's biggest tool, it's what make's up the epic story lines in Naruto.
Thank you so much if you took the time to Read all the way through! It took an extremely long time and a whole lot of effort to make! I'd love to hear your ideas..
