Regarding how long it took Minato to master the Rasengan, Jiraiya said, "Well, in any case, you've completed the first stage of developing a new jutsu!" You can interpret this 2 ways with it either being that the Rasengan still needed more training to master it or, that he already mastered it & is now trying to add his chakra natures to it like he originally planned to.

[@AniSwiftTVRecaps]

it was not completed because it had no nature type it was just a ball of chakara and he died before he could do it. so that was the normal rasengan we know and love

[@jonathanroberts3657]

I like the idea of Minato being in a similar tier to Hashirama, it straightens the earlier notion of him being the strongest earlier in the story, like what if in terms of power he could be a blonder, less experienced, more poised, more adroit Hashirama without wood style or asura reincarnate hax, with an incredible aptitude for Sealing jutsu

[@phonyalias7574]

I think there's a timeskip rather than a retcon and here's why: The chapter opens with Jiraiya in his 2nd war uniform. This tracks with Minato as he should have fought in the second war at a fairly young age finishing his academy years a little bit before that war ended. However, later when we see Minato and him talking to Kushina it almost seems like he's leading his team at that point. Jiraiya has advanced to his third war outfit, which he then keeps from that point onwards and is likely shortly after he returned from teaching Nagato's group. Additionally, Minatos training grounds are full of failed Rasengans so he's been trying it for quite a while. Jiraiya even leaves to apply for a new mission for himself at this point, not for his team. Taking all of this together, I think it's likely most of the 3 years Minato was working out Rasengan was timeskipped rather than retconned.

[@emssasukeisunderrated7946]

The stages of the rasengan is rotation, containment in the ball then containment on your own. It’s clearly at that third level. Now one could say it took Minato to master the jutsu in terms of how it’s used or how big it is (for whatever reason his normal rasengan in the Naruto manga is the size of Naruto’s original oodama version. Even in this manga the size is comparable) or him taking 3 years try to add a chakra nature on top of the jutsu but gave up by the time he’s jonin leader of team Minato at age 18

So since no one actually understands what is going on here. Kurama is explaining that having the ability to Augment the 8 trigram seal, a extremely powerful seal that normally only a Uzamaki can do is impressive enough that it ranks him alongside Hashirama.

Yeah I find the idea that Minato was a comparable shinobi to Hashirama is honestly pretty consistent. There's more to being a shinobi than just raw power. Factors such as intelligence, intuition, and other such factors are just as important when it comes to deciding a ninja's capacity. It's why someone like Kakashi, who had very few AP feats aside from the raikiri for a good portion of the series' runtime, was able to consistently compete with S-tier ninja even without needing to use Kamui. I think if we're comparing Minato to Hashirama in terms of overall ability, Hashirama would absolutely cliff Minato in terms of raw power, but Minato would beat him in terms of intellect, speed, and even versatility due to how many different ways he could use the jutsu in his arsenal. Through that lens, when taking EVERYTHING into account, it's pretty consistent that someone as wise and intelligent as Kurama would see Minato as Hashirama's equal as a shinobi.

[@DS-dw3pz]

I am not buying too much into that cause even Itachi was said to be as great if not greater than Hashirama as a Shinobi which was stated by Hashirama himself....you could say that when Minato becomes Kurama's jinchuriki but not before that cause I really don't see any thing in terms of feat to put Minato anywhere near Madara's level before becoming a perfect jinchuriki let alone Hashirama

And Minato strikes him so hard with one rasengan, that Obito opted to flee rather than re-strategize.

My idea is that Minato finished developing the Rasengan at 17 near the end of the war, him being a year older when he gets his own squad meaning he'd only been Hokage for maximum 5 or so years and dying at 25 years old, so in the span of 12 years he fought 2 Jinchuuriki, developed the Rasengan, mastered FTG, became Hokage, ended the 3rd war by allying with another strong nation, him and Kushina having Naruto and then dying with Minato at 25 years old. (yes, I do believe Minato started making the Rasengan at 13, we know he's been around Kushina since the academy so at the very least, he'd have been 13 as a Chunin and 17 as a Jonin, he'd finish the Rasengan within the last 6 months after advice from Jirayah, making it a 3 and a half year development of the Rasengan and it's impressive considering it takes Naruto the same amount of time to be able to use it without clones or Kurama's chakra.)

So I see a lot of people talking about the statement about Hashirama and Minato being about sealing, and even though you addressed your thoughts on this, I have something to add as well. If Kurama was actually talking about only sealing, or the act of sealing, then it’s actually still an incredible statement. Hashirama’s wood style specifically suppresses tailed beast chakra. Like you said, Hashirama himself is not a great sealer, Mito is, it’s his wood style that makes him able to hold back the tailed beasts and hand them out like candy. Considering that, Minato’s normal non-Uzamaki sealing feat is more impressive than using wood style which is just a no diff against tailed beasts. Consider how Madara and 14 year old Obito are both able to subjugate Kurama with their MS. Does that mean that kid Obito is as powerful as adult EMS Madara that was rivaling Hashirama? No, it’s just that MS genjutsu is a direct counter to tailed beasts, just as wood style is. It’s like playing rock paper scissors and Hashirama and Madara are using scissors against the tailed beasts paper while Minato is trying to use paper against paper and still winning. That’s why it’s so much more impressive even if you try to pussyfoot the statement around

Sure he'd lose to them, but he also was a good twenty years younger then them when he died. And he did not have someone to push him to be as strong as those other two. He didn't have that rival who could challenge him push him to his limits and make him grow. Cause he's beating any of the Sanin at 15 or so years old. There is no one alive who can fight him at this level. He is more powerful then 4th Raikage A, to the point the man didn't think anyone could surpass Minato.

Most of Hashirama's jutsu was created by him and he could augment the Wood Release for different occasions. Augmenting an Uzumaki Seal is extremely hard, so him doing so is a huge feat. Like Kotoamtsukami augmenting the Talisman Mind Control on Edo Itachi. Or a child who took computer science able to augment an AI's code to make it better.

[@hobbyhorse5848]

I’m seeing people DOWNPLAYING his feat against Kurama just because Kushina’s chains were present, when all they were doing was slowing down the progression of Kurama’s power. By the time that Minato slam dunked that rasengan into kushina (lol) EIGHT tails of V2 chakra had manifested in the real world. As if that feat somehow scales below even the weakest TBB from Kurama (four tails Naruto). ALSO, this is crazy, this one shot implies Kushina learned the rasengan and used it in battle. Minato could also have BEEN learning the rasengan and encountering Han and Roshi multiple times. If that’s the case it’s not a retcon.

[@mhmmidk9449]

The point of the chain is suppress and restrain not only restrain. While you’re right downplaying is crazy. But I just wanted to add that it is not just restraint. Fighting the strongest bijuu at the time at an early age is crazy

[@hobbyhorse5848]

@@mhmmidk9449 Kushina’s chains were stopping Kurama from fully breaking out along side Minato’s sealing. I know that they’d suppress chakra, but given that 8 whole tails manifested in the physical world had Minato not busted out the rasengan Kurama would’ve been on the brink of escaping. For reference that was just before 50% of Kurama busted out of chibaku Tensei. That’s insane.

[@cheeseburgerfreddy6350]

I don't consider addressing context as downplaying, Kurama had two seals on him from both Minato and kushina. He clashed with the incomplete Biju bomb but Kurama was being bound by both of their seal's, so it's impressive that his new rasengan was able to clash with it but it wasn't as grand as clashing with a full powered version.

[@hobbyhorse5848]

@@cheeseburgerfreddy6350 I don’t believe that he scales to a full power Kurama either…but it’s a fact that a suppressed Bijuu Bomb from 8 tails of Kurama is>>the 6 tails Naruto Bijuu Bomb and 4 tails Naruto Bijuu Bomb and very likely above a standard Bijuu TBB since Minato invented it to fight prime Han and Roshi.

I don’t really think that Minato using the Rasengan is “mastering” it. It’s more ambiguous to me, as “mastering” the Rasengan could mean more than one successful use of it in battle. It also isn’t 100% clear how long he’s been practicing the Rasengan. Let me know if you agree or disagree!

[@MJSGamingSanctuary]

And part of it at least my head cannon is that Kurama isn't saying that Minato is necessarily equal in strength to the first hokage so much as being tactically and technically similar. As in being gifted in both combat and strategically/sealing strong. As it wasn't always that Hashirama was defeating Madara just cause always by pure strength but also part of it Hashirama just had a adequate response. To what was thrown at him is what I sort of feel like what Kurama was referring to. Its like one thing to be able to launch biju bomb/mountain busting level moves but its a whole another thing when you can direct or redirect that level of power takes being a technical and tactical genius. And like in a mindset of where Minato was seriously on a war path good chance Minato could do something as crazy as flat out just teleport one of Kushina's like biju bombs behind enemy lines into enemy villages and like the duo alone in a true war setting probably just detonate enemy villages. Like tactically Minato is serious like messenger of death level of fear.

[@MJSGamingSanctuary]

Minatos kit in essence is like a perfect multitool to what ninja conflicts could be. < And to me thats what Kurama is praising. The fact that it would force even Kurama to completely alter his own fighting style. Is partly what Kurama is trying to say by comparing Minato to Hashirama. Like Minato is one of the few characters that could make a biju bomb be reversed on the tailed beast which I'm sure by most tailed beasts would be a unheard of capability. Outside of what the first hokages feats were.

[@diamantemrobinson]

Kishi isn't always consistent with drawing ages though cause Kakashi, Obito, and Itachi looked well beyond their actual ages. I think he uses height and build to represent power with some characters. As far as the Kurama statement I believe he's talking about his talent and skill as a shinobi as he wouldn't be able to accurately gauge his power off a seal. He could be talking about chakra potency and quality however Hashirama put a full on raging Kurama to sleep with a palm lol. Hashirama bijuu suppressing techniques are referred to as sealings I believe. Tobimara should also be able to be able to hold off Kurama as well.

Also, thats full kurama. Not even half. Which means that tailed beast bomb even if incomplete is far stronger than the ones pain and orochimaru dealt with. Even when considering kushinas chains

[@ithrean_397]

It may not be a retcon if jiriya doesn’t feel he actually masters it until three years pass, that or minato felt a similar way- his one time use may not be considered mastery in either of their eyes

[@JimmyCrackorn]

At the end, you were wondering something about Kurama's power. There's an answer for this. There are conditions for Kurama's total power. 1. A half of Kurama is able to fully recover the total chakra pool of the complete Kurama over time. All bijuu have Yin states and Yang states. When a bijuu is split, they are split along this line, and the remaining portion fills up with only that chakra nature. So, if Yin Kurama was in Naruto, that Kurama will fill to full power and will have same power level as Yin-Yang Kurama. But Yin Kurama will be incomplete and be less useful than Yin-Yang Kurama, only possessing Yin chakra. If Yang Kurama was in Naruto, the abilities would be different, and the same rules would otherwise apply [but the chakra would only be Yang]. Yin-Yang Kurama can do everything that both halves can do and have the same total amount of chakra [but it would be Yin-Yang chakra]. This rule applies to all of the bijuu on top of any other chakra nature affinities they may have [read: Son Goku's Magma Release would go to both halves, but he would still be split by Yin and Yang. So, there would be Yin + Fire + Earth, Yang + Fire + Earth, and complete Son Goku would be Yin-Yang + Fire + Earth]. 2. A complete bijuu is only more powerful than a half of a bijuu if one or both halves are depleted at the time of assimilation. This rule is very important to understanding the math because math can do some very strange things in terms of equation crafting. We can create paradoxes if we aren't careful, and I'll explain that. Kurama is half of a Ten Tales. The other half is split between the remaining eight bijuu. Yin Kurama can regenerate too 100%. Yang Kurama can regenerate to 100%. This is because they're chakra, not biological creatures or storage containers for energy; they're life force. They never stop recuperating. If you merge a full powered Yin Kurama and full powered Yang Kurama under the power growth concept, you get problems. The result would be a Ten Tales. Half a Ten Tales + Half a Ten Tales = a *full Ten Tales,* follow me? This would create power creep in the narrative because anyone could just splice bijuu, wait for them to recover, then merge the halves to have a more powerful version of the same bijuu. B is significantly older than Naruto. If they had done this with B, no one would have been able to catch up to him and the Hachibi. If the Otsutsuki could do this, godhood would be achievable in no time, giving us no struggle and no narrative. They would simply splice a Ten Tales, wait it to recuperate, merge it to get a 20 tales, splice that, wait for it to recuperate, merge it again to get a 40 tales, splice it again, wait for that to recuperate, merge it again to get an 80 tales, rinse and repeat. A complete bijuu is only more powerful than a half of a bijuu if the halves have not recuperated. Merging full powered bijuu halves *does not* make a bijuu more powerful because the life forces are whole, it only makes it more useful by completing its tool set and knowledge. The chakra is abstract, it doesn't fill space; it mixes, it doesn't expand. Imagine it like overlapping translucent colors on a computer. You layer blue over yellow to produce green, you don't get yellow and blue side-by-side. 3. Kushina was more powerful than Minato in terms of chakra volume, which is why she was a jinchuuriki. Jinchuuriki must have enough chakra to hold back the bijuu that will be sealed inside of them. Minato had a stronger mind than Kushina did, which is why was prone to outbursts while he was always very mild mannered. Her failing mental health was Kurama's biggest criticism of her, making her appear to be a waste of potential to him. His thinking was: _All of that power given to someone who can't handle it. What a pity. Such a pathetic species._ And when he saw Minato's performance, it shocked him. How could humanity produce another with such acumen after what he believed to be the greatest generation of mankind? Minato's raw talent and will matched that of the likes of Hashirama. He *owned* the situation regardless of the difference in power, and he spun it to his advantage. In this context, his power was his influence over the circumstances. He was fighting against impossible odds, and he used the power he was faced with as a weapon against itself. So, adult Minato comparing to six tales in power without Sage Mode and one punching Sanin? No, that's not happening. Is he still going to win? Yes. Was Kurama heavily incumbered in that clash? Also yes. He was held back by the initial seal, that was reinforced by the seal augmentation that Minato applied, then Kushina bound him with the Uzumaki secret technique and was already diverting the Tailed Beast Ball generated by only two tales being free from all of that. Keep in mind that a totally freed Kurama ended them *both* with *only a finger.* Minato was Hokage when that happened. So, they held back *two* tales of Kurama's power to manage the feat in this flashback, not seven and overpowered the two free ones, and they absolutely didn't face all nine inside of Kushina with that seal intact. That's not even possible because the seal was intact. It acts as a prison for the soul itself. Even if they go inside it, Kurama himself can't act freely inside of it while they share space with him. When Naruto disciplined Kurama, he completely opened the seal himself, went up against the full nine tales, used the complete Rasengan, only had the Hachibi to help absorb some attacks from Kurama [not that it helped much], was actually quite dominant in the battle itself from the beginning, and Kushina only pulled him free of Kurama's hatred and released the Uzumaki secret sealing jutsu that was hidden inside of him. That was all Naruto's own power dominating Kurama, and the fox was no weaker than he was when he faced Kushina and Minato. Again, half a bijuu reaches full power as the chakra nature that remains, making it equally as powerful but less useful. It's not half of the total chakra it had before the split unless it didn't get to recover first. Kurama had 16 years to recuperate and was fully recovered by the time Naruto went in to fade him. Also bear in mind that the only thing that saved Kurama from the hands Naruto was laying on him like Palm Sunday at church was Hate no Jutsu; a poisoning of the mind. That's the only reason Kushina's jutsu activated. Kurama couldn't even get off his back at that time. He got whooped. Bad. When he finally could get back in the fight and mustered a bigger attack, Naruto activated Sage Mode as a show of dominance just to make it absolutely clear who's really in charge if there's not going to be any cooperation. Seeing that he had no chance of controlling his host, Kurama joined him and mastered Kyuubi Mode was unlocked. And with both halves of Kurama, Naruto can do things that look like he's using Six Paths Sage Mode, even when he isn't, like mold nature chakra, independently activate Kyuubi Mode in a shadow clone that's already active on the battlefield, activate multiple instances of Sage Mode across already active shadow clones, launch simultaneous Tailed Beast Balls, transfer chakra to others through his own body and through shadow clones, self heal, make collect calls and transfer information through Ninshu, and even let Kurama throw hands for him while he does something else inside his own mind.

[@emssasukeisunderrated7946]

Ok so I took a crack at this back when it came out and posted my own translation to ThunderGod which I’ll post in this thread. As background, I’ve formally studied Japanese in university as well. To note, all of the translations aren’t too different, just need context (honestly that’s Japanese to English in a nutshell, context matters). I got to the same conclusion for the most part

[@emssasukeisunderrated7946]

I'm taking a crack at the translation, gonna break it down piece by piece. Unfortunately, most of the times translations especially from Japanese to English where the sentence structures and grammar is very different causes there to be multiple interpretations, so I'll give my best (for context, I've formally studied Japanese for about 3 years now and although my conversation skills are rusty, I still keep up with the language reading and writing). The first sentence 四封印を自己流で増強して やがる! is not difficult to break down. 四封印 is the tetragram or four symbol seal that is used for the kyuubi jinchuriki (Kushina & Naruto both have this seal). を is simply a direct object that comes immediately before the verb with the noun before (in English it's typically the opposite. An example is "I buy flowers" being はなを買います = flowersはな = flowers and 買い = to buy and ます = present/future tense) Bit of a tangent but to continue, 自己流で増強して can be broken into 自己流 (meaning own way/own style with the main kanji 自 meaning one's self). で at least in this sentence as a particle just means “and”. 増強して with the て (-te) form being an extremely useful form of conjugation that has a ton of uses. Simply here, combined with the 増強し it's basically saying he's enhancing or any synonym to enhance or increase. やがる - Not gonna lie, haven't ran into this but doing research it's a verb ending kinda similar to the あげる/くれる /もらう but here's the translation off a Japanese grammar website: "verb stem + やがる is used to express contempt for something or hatred for something / someone. It is a strong form, with a vulgar sound, and would not be used in normal conversation. It is more frequently encountered in rough language in manga or movies etc." So, to combine it all, this sentence can be translated to and this is Kurama speaking about Minato (based off the やがる it's in disdain or hatred that this happened): "He enhanced the tetragram seal in his own style/ability/way! Incredible!" Now to the next sentence, 初代柱間以来の忍か・・・こんなやつがまだ・・・！To start off, the 初代柱間 means First Hashirama with 初代 (shodai) is what is used to signalize first generation and is used when talking about the 1st generation Kage. Translator didn't make it up cause typically just having this can easily translate to Lord First and in this case Lord First Hashirama. Still, not a big deal but it is meant to give title to Hashirama as the 1st Hokage. 以来の忍か is a bit tricky especially since the 3 dots after typically means that one is still talking as a run-on sentence or a pause in a sentence. Anytime a sentence ends with か it's like a question mark (well, there's some cases sentences can combine and there still be a か at the end of the first sentence which this seems to be one of those cases). Like your translator friend said TG, the 来 is the verb stem for 来る = to come but means - "ever since" Given the dots, we can infer this sentence: "A shinobi since the Lord First Hashirama" Then, こんなやつがまだ is pretty much a phrase that is showing how surprised Kurama is. So to be honest the Viz and OPscans translations aren't too far off. You kinda have to say it in your own words the second sentence involving Hashirama since there's no direct translation. But for the most part, Kurama states Minato enhanced the seal in his own way and no one since Hashirama has been able to do that which Kurama is amazed at. So for me, this just means that even as a teen, Minato's sealing jutsu skill and more in particular his bijuu suppression jutsu (by way of seals opposed to Madara by genjutsu and Hashirama wood style sealing/brute force) hasn't been seen since Hashirama. This is EXCLUDING Uzumaki clan members given the context of the panel before with Kurama stating this brat isn't even an Uzumaki. So outside of the Uzumaki, only Hashirama compared to suppressing a bijuu using sealing jutsu in their own way (again, Madara used either brute force or genjutsu and while Hashi could use brute force, he had sealing too). So yes, this is in regards to his skill mainly in sealing jutsu

[@emssasukeisunderrated7946]

To be more clear in terms of my direct translation (the TLDR version), I got: He enhanced the Tetragram seal in his own style (or ability or way)! Incredible! A shinobi since the Lord First Hashirama… such a person still exists! The last part of the sentence is just a phrase that Kurama is saying both in shock and anger that Minato is capable of doing this which we know since the previous sentence as all four scans and myself directly translates to: This brat! He’s not even of the Uzumaki clan

You are missing a pretty crazy big point; most of Naruto’s feats are with Kurama at half power, Minato did that against the full Kurama. So double Minato’s power when comparing him against Naruto’s feats. There is a solid argument Minato is equal to Hashirama maybe not in power, but in battle as he is Way faster and his attacks would definitely hurt someone of that caliber. It also brings up; like Hashirama and Tobirama, is Minato also weaker during the War Arc even as a perfect “Gran Cherokee” (sorry had to mock those subtitles). Also I personally don’t discount the possibility that Kushina is absolutely OP, I mean we don’t have feats but we know how broken those chains are so if she is physically close to Minato + those chains she could easily be insanely powerful.
