Can minato support the red barrier without using kyuubi chakra?
duhh! i mean minato's wayy stronger than hiruzen! so ..if he can do it ..hell ya minato can! without the kyuubi's chikara!
Simple, Kishimoto is stalling Naruto receiving Kurama's Yin Half since something big will happen once Kyrama is completed
Kishi is a fuqing dick that's why.
