Epic fail? Why minato suicided for?

[GrayParadise]

He had no knowledge that he would be revived later on, so he was just preparing for the worst.

no hating on Minato but if I had a father like him.....

He could't follow obito because the nine tails was still rampaging. He couldn't seal it back in kushina cuz she was gonna die anyways. His body could barely handle half and the only remaining candidate was his half uzu son.if he let it go free the village would have got destroyed. if he had kushina kill it with her it would just come back and that leaves his village without a bijuu. I do commend him for planning for the future but if i was in his shoes son>village.
