What If Minato Survived the Nine Tails Attack?

[@DygoKnight]

Is Minato the best Hokage?

[@jamalmustafa4433]

No Í think it's hashirama

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

- Hashirama was the first Hokage - Tobirama was the racist Hokage - Hiruzen was the longest reigning Hokage - Minato was the shortest reigning Hokage - Tsunade was the only female Hokage - Kakashi was the copy Hokage - Naruto was the protagonist Hokage - Shikamaru is the current Hokage

[@thechristiangamer2170]

Well Dygoknight he is one of the best and strongest Hokage in my opinion being stronger than even Prime Hiruzen and Tobirama in terms of political affairs i personally think that Minato would have been able to save the Uchiha Clan and prevent the Massacre make sure Naruto grew up happy and most of all yes in terms of Politics he is the best but in terms of power he is Second Strongest Hokage even stronger than Hashirama because when i talk about Minato’s Power i like to assume he has KCM1 and 2 plus Sage Mode if you factor that in he is even stronger than Hashirama because he was already compared to Hashirama in the one-shot but even with KCM2 Sage Mode while being Alive I still do not think he is stronger than Hokage Naruto for obvious reasons portrayed in the Manga and Anime.

[@Rogers550]

Someone pls tell me Why did minato use reaper death seal on himself? He could have used 8 sign seal just like he did on naruto to seal half of kurama or he could have sealed all of kurama in himself using 8 sign seal

@@Rogers550 maybe he felt like he didn't want to live without Kushina. And also, Minato stated that Naruto can't handle Kurama's full power as a baby. That's why Minato split Kurama in half.

It would be no story, and if it is it would be similar to the first 100 or so episodes of the boruto anime.

[@reymartcosme858]

I only see one best reason why Minato did what he did. It's because of his extreme love for Kushina. He couldn't bare the thought of his lover to die alone that's why he joined her, even though it would mean leaving his son alone. He doesn't love Naruto as much as he loved Kushina.

[@momotheone9700]

I dont agree, i think he loved the village more than naruto, in his eyes his son and the village is one, kushina would die regardless once kurama left her even if they put it back she would have just died together with kyubi, i think minato loves the village as much as how he loved his child, not that he loved kushina more

[@dadbodtoTitanBod]

Watched the video and enjoyed it a lot. The main reason Minato chose to die was because he was worried about other villages attacking the leaf if kurama was killed. From what I remember anyway. Still, I would’ve loved for minato to survive cuz I do think he’s the best hokage and it would make for a stronger Naruto.

[@evan6338]

Imagine Minato leading the Leaf through a war in which they were on the back foot, but much more stable than the original timeline (no Uchiha uprising/massacre, also means they can counter other Tailed Beasts). Then the 9 Tails reappears somewhere in the world and the Leaf sends a squad to capture and seal it into Naruto, who now has much better chakra control and training, to become its jinchuuriki as a teen instead of a baby. Tough times immediately, long term gains would be a neat timeline.

No he wouldn't. Minato is already an expert sensory ninja and couldn't sense that was Obito. Why? Because Obito has Hashirama cells implanted on him so obviously his chakra signature is gonna be wildly different from was it was when Minato knew him.

THIS!!!

[@DygoKnight]

But then Minato dies from the reaper death seal

[@Michael_mki233]

@DygoKnight Not true. This is a misconception in the fandom. The Reaper Death Seal isn't required to seal Kurama. Minato only used it to split Kurama's chakra. He used the Uzumaki's Eight Trigrams Seal to seal Kurama into Naruto. But even disregarding that, Kushina wanted to pull Kurama back into herself to begin with. But they didn't know that it would keep her from dying, so he didn't let her. So not only could Minato do it without using RDS, Kushina could have just done it herself.

[@acualancer4619]

Are we really sure Kushina would die regardless? Because she had enough chakra to create a barrier which didn't let Kurama out and didn't let Hiruzen in. That must require quite a lot of chakra, enough for her to not die

[@sneko186]

I guess yeah, considering she went through childbirth then the 9 tails being ripped outta her... Even if the 9 tails is sealed inside of her again, chances are she will die thanks to the above mentioned reasons

[@marquismason8224]

To this point, I’m also not convinced that resealing Kurama in her wouldn’t have put her over the edge (in terms of restoring her life force) and ensured she survived. She clearly has life force almost unparalleled and would almost certainly survived the (re)sealing process.

[@jruler93]

Yeah. Hashirama's wife (another Uzumaki and Kurama's Jinchuuriki before Kushina) lived for decades after having the Kyuubi extracted. I don't see why Kushina couldn't live for at least a few years after losing the Nine Tails.

[@JoGoat20]

[@randomdude3578]

​@@jruler93where did you get the decades of life from? All databooks, the show itself and the manga mentioned that mito died shortly after transferring kurama to kushina. You are confusing 2 things: 1. Mito uzumaki lived for decades after sealing kurama into herself. 2. Mito uzumaki passed kurama to kushina when the later was young. You somehow fused those 2 sentences into : mito passed kurama to kushina and then lived for decades which just doesn't make senses. Mito was already an old lady when she first met kushina, she is the GRANDMOTHER of tsunade, so how could she live for decades after passing kurama to kushina when kushina herself was only in her early twenties when she died? Did mito seal kurama into kushina when the latter was a baby and then lived until right before naruto was born? That's just nonsense. Mito died shortly after kurama was given to kushina. The manga says so, the show says so, the databooks says so.

Logically, he should have, and it's narratively easy for both of them to survive, All Minato had to do is seal the 9 tails back in Kushina and she would have survived too (just like how Naruto survived when the 9 tails was extracted from him and then sealed back in the war arc) He doesn't even need to use the reaper death seal, even Kushina tells him that, any regular seal would work, And on top of that, the 3rd hokage was present in the scene too, he could help.

[@divineeternity7268]

Minato's lack of fear for death led to his decision to sacrifice himself. I understand its the mentality of the shonobi but he could've made a better decision. Even though he was a genuis maybe he still didn't have the mind of a 30+ year old to make that decision at 24.🤔

[@taiga738]

Naruto survived having Kurama taken out of him, so you could justify Kushina managing to survive having Kurama sealed back into her. It'd still be risky given the additional strain of childbirth but she already survived a while past the initial extraction. Even if it shortens her overall lifespan, Uzumaki already tend to life longer than most people, so she'd have a decent chance of living a fairly normal human lifespan.

[@vFNN]

Like Jiraiya, Sakumo, Hiruzen, Tobirama etc. Minato achieved his power trough expertise and not a kekkei genkai. That's impressive - nearly as much as the Tai-jutsu skills of Duy, Guy and Lee.

[@Erysss_]

If Minato sacrifices himself to save not only Naruto BUT ALSO Kushina, giving the Yin part to her and the Yang part to the boy (Or just seals Kurama completely in Kushina and maybe, I don't know, Hiruzen dies that day), IN MY OPINION, it would be more interesting than a demigod staying alive. Like, this would bring even more conflict. Kushina x Danzo for next Hokage; what attitude would a Kushina Hokage take after Umegakure tried to kidnap Hinata (just like they did to her); how she would fell and deal about the masked man who killed her husband? How would Akatsuki deal with a Jinchuuriki kage? would she have unlocked Kurama Chakra Mode? These are just a few ideas I had, but it's a scenario with many possibilities.

[@Erysss_]

And speaking of power in this scenario: She would certainly be one of the most powerful of all Kages (maybe not with the same potential as Minato), but VERY powerful. Like, this woman held an EX KAGE and the most powerful tailed beast AFTER GIVING BIRTH, having a monster extracted from her body AND being on the verge of death. I don't doubt that she could have had feats as extraordinary as Minato's in the Third Great Ninja War, as she was handpicked to become the next Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki between the ages of 10 and 11 (which indicates that she was at least a prodigy ninja ((10 or 11, cause she was already a Jinchuuriki when she was kidnapped +/- at the age of 12). I can only speculate because Kishimoto failed with all the female characters. Only to conclude that: She would be a MONSTER in matters of power. Naruto became one and had like, two Jutsus, gigantic chakra reserves and Kurama (which is an extreme power up in all aspects).

it most definately musta been that the 8 trigrams seal wouldnt be powerful enough to contain the ninetails in a newborn, i mean think about it even if the ninetails was halved we see on multiple occations where the ninetails almost broke out during shippuden. putting that much burden on a newborn with just a regular seal alone........ because the seal was powered by the shinigami in the OG timeline it was much harder for kurama to break out and it took until shippuden when the seal finally eroded enough for the ninetails to finally be able to "try" to escape if a regular seal alone was used the ninetails would have been able to flood the baby with chakra until the seal eroded again and within a optimistically a year kurama would just break out of the seal maybe even much quicker than a year. a baby is too weak mentally and physically to contain him with jut ur regular old seal

Why didn't he just seal it back into Kushina because it clear that resealing tailed beast keeps you from dying

[@JakeSmith-mq5dc]

Great concept, but you are doing the villains a disservice here as I think you have the timeline mixed up a little. There's PLENTY of room for conflict against the Leaf Village. 1) Obito was still in the Zetsu body brace when manipulating Nagato and transforming the Akatsuki, and he also has been corrupting the Mist Village before he even attacked Kushina and the Leaf Village. So Obito has both the Rain Village and the Blood Mist Village BOTH under his thumb, with a genjutsu controlled Yagura at his side, aka Perfect Jinchuuriki/ Kage. On top of that, like you mentioned, Obito still has the mental warfare card to play as Minato's student whose gone rogue, but he could milk that against Minato like he did against Kakashi. 2) Don't underestimate Orochimaru's genius and if he pools his resources with the Akatsuki. His machinations definitely would change with the different circumstances, like he definitely wouldn't reanimate the First and 2nd Hokages until he could get them closer to full power and under his control just to stand a chance against Minato alone, on top of the Leaf Village. Without Itachi tempting him, maybe Orochimaru remains a loyal member of the Akatsuki while bulking up both his and their resources as he still founds the Sound Village and assassinates/displaces the Kazekage. THAT MAKES 4 NINJA VILLAGES IN THEIR CORNER. Extrapolate this further, when he easily infiltrates the Cloud Village with the purpose of stealing an 8 Tails' tentacle from the previous Jinchuuriki before Bee, he just captures the 8 Tails outright, chances would be even better with another Akatsuki member as backup rather than going solo like he did. In a way, it's similar to Bee's capture, where a rogue Leaf ninja in Akatsuki robes, captures their Tailed Beast and kills the Raikage's relative. So there is the looming possibilty of war against the Leaf Village, especially if Orochimaru and Obito play their cards right to make the Leaf Village look even worse to better convince the Cloud Village to join in an alliance with their 4 Villages to attack the Leaf Village together. There is a chance that might backfire though, so involving the Cloud Village is a gamble. 3) You didn't even touch on how Danzou might make use of this political landscape for his own coup de ta'.

[@mesa577]

danzo wouldn't have leverage over minato, his biggest asset is being semi close to hiruzen in terms of politics and minato won't have any of that. minato is efficient he doesn't lie around and wait, all that you mentioned would have to happen perfectly assuming the ninja villages wouldn't be on the guard up after the strongest village was attacked by "madara". with minato as hokage and a mark on obito already there what's stopping minato from killing madara ? everyone knows oro is a rouge and even if the lightning village attacks their strongest people was equalized by minato alone , with uchiha on the leaf he would take them down.

[@JakeSmith-mq5dc]

@@mesa577 Look, I am not saying this is the exact scenario that would go down. There are a million interpretations here. I am saying there is POTENTIAL for some serious conflict in this writing scenario so the Leaf wouldn't be uncontested and remain an exciting story. That there are external and internal threats to take into consideration. I didn't even mention Orochimaru's potential with an abundant of prime Uchiha specimens with Sharingan, waiting to be experimented on and bodyswapped with. I admit that the Cloud village allying with them is dubious, but it's a possibility that could provide tension that may influence character motives, decisions and events. As for Obito aka Madara. Yes he has no means of escaping capture by Minato on his own short of hiding in the Kamui dimension (and even that might not save him) or using Izanami in some clever way like removing the Flying Raijin Seal, but that doesn't mean he is written out of the story permanently. A good writer could manage to use Obito's character more after that. Besides, he potentially isn't on his own, like I said beforem he have abundant of resources to help him out of this set back.

@@mesa577 I am sorry, I don't mean to be annoying. Yes Minato wouldn't put up with Danzou bs, but Danzou's character might not be foolish enough to even try. Viewing direct conflict with Minato as a lost cause without some serious preparation, so he would bide his time and maybe stir up civil unrest to distract Minato as he schemes. That old fox is very crafty, powerful and manipulative. He is a Kage level ninja with a long history in the World Wars. He has an army of elite Ninjas brainwashed and cursed to be fiercely loyal to him. With a history of human experimentation and working with dangerous individuals like Orochimaru and Hanzou the Salamander. Both powerful and dangerous characters with a horse in this race with Danzou as a common denonimator that could be potential factors for a writer to consider using however they please to stir up conflict and resolutions.

I don’t necessarily have an issue with this idea but making Minato blood thirsty seems wrong. Having minato track down obito days later turning him in just doesn’t sound in character this logic could be flipped with tons of characters. Obito could’ve just returned to the leaf village 1 day after fighting minato captured Naruto and killed everyone thus completing his plans 16 years early. Anyways if you let obito live like he did in the show he just takes another method probably making the mist village wage war

[@mesa577]

minato always goes for the throat, that's his whole thing. and why wouldn't he go after obito when he caused so much trouble? the biggest thing about obito's attack was surprise, with ftg on him he would be on the back foot because minato can just bring him anywhere he wants.

[@mesa577]

the only reason obito survived was because of hashi cells minato would kill him easily after that rashengan.

[@17jehovah]

@@mesa577 maybe I’m character is the wrong term. Maybe I mean “in verse”, most characters have the ability to do something similar and didn’t. Minato could’ve teleported to killer bee at any time turning the tide of war even more but didn’t. I just think making any character blood lusted or super motivated gives them a superior edge whereas if we didn’t consider that this topic would be more interesting

[@inesatt1313]

He really would

[@Ephilias]

The sad reality is peace times would have urged less training from most people, since becoming strong isn't that important anymore. Also, it could have brought other conflicts into the light and then even more death.

[@Reggie2kj]

Main Story wise…. Why didn’t Orochimaru just pluck a random 2 Sharingan from the massacre…or shin/Donzo experiments? With a Zetzu body/Hashirama cells hed have basically been a Otsusuki level threat with his knowledge & jutsu …

[@momotheone9700]

People dont understand how rediculous minato really was, like by the time of the 3rd war he was 18-19 and he already surpassed the sannin and hes at the level of akatisuki members just based on what he was able to do against raikage and killer bee at the same time, he was way beyond the likes of jiraiya orochimaru, anyone in the uchiha clan at the time, even approaching the likes of hiruzen and shit, minato did a better job in the 3rd war than what hanzo did in the 2nd war and all the guy did was use some kunais and his rasengans and his intellect, thats it. When you think that itachi bodied orochimaru while being like 14 yet minato dying essentially 16 years ago is still top dog and is able to fight someone who is relative to a grown ass itachi who is above most akatisuki members and sannin put together, im tired of ranting about minato at this point hes literally mstered ninetails chakra after death like😂😂😂😂 what? Come on bruh

[@NarutoUzumaki-jl9hk]

Can anyone pls tell me why he hid all the boruto vids ??? I loved watching him make actual good points what happend ?

[@LucasCosta-io8vr]

I'm not so sure. If Itachi didn't go to the Akatsuki it means Orochimaru never left. If Obito is not around, Black Zetsu could force Nagato into performing the Rinne Tensei and bring Madara back like the original plan. Minato would have problems with Madara if he is just as strong as Hashirama. Worse case scenario, Orochimaru could perform Edo Tensei and bring back Tobirama and Hashirama at the strenght they were in the war arc. Then Minato would have to fight Madara AND Hashirama. Also, if the Akatsuki gather all the tailed beasts except for the eight tail, they still only need just one tail to awaken the 10 tails. If Madara becomes a Jinchuriki of the 10 tails, even an incomplete Jinchuuriki, there is nothing Minato or the shinobi alliance could do. Actually, would there even be an alliance to begin with?

[@thechristiangamer2170]

Well Dygoknight this would be very VERY different from the Main Timeline Minato would be alive Naruto would have a father Sasuke would still be happy and have a family Dygoknight this will be very very very different from Naruto we know.

[@EdgardoJCruz-dk5kv]

So basically there would be no challenge outside of political ones with other villages. Even then I am sure those would be solved one way or another in this AU. I wonder how the future of this alternate world be like.

[@metalninetales]

Kushina was a Uzamaki, lore states they are capable of surviving the extraction though severely weakened.

Nope, the lore does not state that at all. They manage to hand on a little longer but eventually die

Hold on hold on you said the nine tails wouldn’t have died and it would come back so do you think it can come back in the end of boruto when they release naruto

[@JoGoat20]

Minato marked obito with ftg so it's possible he gathers best warriors of leaf village and ambush obito. Other than that uchiha massacre will never happen and Naruto would be loved and raised properly leading to both Naruto and Sasuke being far stronger than cannon at start of series after being trained properly by their parent/clan.

[@painisgod500]

Or Minato just teleports shadow clones to him 🤣. Clapp that simp boy down

[@JoGoat20]

@@painisgod500 I had read a fanfiction few months ago where Minato survived nine tails attack. He gathered villages best combat fighters and strategists like Might guy, Hiashi hyuga, jiraya,Fugaku uchiha Kakashi, hiruzen, ino shika choza etc and they planned ambushed the newly forming akatsuki a year or two after nine tails attack by teleporting to their base and murdering them brutally. No one of the akatsuki survived lol. Ftg is really overpowered.

I don’t think uzumakis necessarily die after failed beast are extracted. I’m not sure but I think because of their seemingly bottomless chakra pools and their extended life force.

So basically, most of the tragedy we saw would never happen if Minato hadn't this slip on his judgement. Seems Yondaime Hokage enough for me.

What if Naruto didn't learn the shadow clone but learned edo tensei from the forbidden jutsu scroll and revived Rin during his fight against Obito? Naruto: I name this jutsu Ero Tensei no jutsu!

[@1233bobb]

personally i dont think minato stomps the 6 paths of pain, i think it's a close match that could go either way. Technique and Volume vs Speed and Battle Sense

[@antoniomcneary]

So essentially the outcome would what Naruto should be in Boruto with no real threat existing and being stomped hard but of course no conflict= no story.

[@aceclover758]

Minato is a match for Madara and people keep thinking “oh mountain buster” forgetting all of Minato’s skills can counter or dodge that. Space time barrier can redirect any attacks, especially if Minato already marked Madara or his Susanoo. Redirect one of his mountain busting attacks back to Madara directly Also once marked, Susanoo will not protect Madara from Minato going inside his Susanoo People underestimate Minato so bad. Unlike Madara or Harishima, Minato died far from his prime or full potential. And I won’t count rinnegan as something of Madara’s not his full natural potential since he needed another specific blood to do it I.e talking about alive Madara in the warring days, not Edo or rinnegan one.

If minato could be that strong, with his own tallent, imagine if he somehow magane to seal half of kurama on naruto and the other half on himself and survives

[@rialyandriamiseza9814]

You reasoning makes sense but I don't agree with Minato no making a smart decision here. You are right about everything but Minato wasn't aware about most of these plot points. He didn't know about the Uchiha situation, the formation of the Akatsuki, the full extend of "Madara"'s ability or Itachi's secret duty. So, given the information he had when he took the decision, I think he made the most sensible choice.

[@adamdonovan7269]

@DygoKnight Kushina wouldn't have died. We learn that sealing a tailed beast back inside the Jinchuriki stops them from dying. Kushina would have lived along with Kurama inside her.

[@DygoKnight]

If Minato kills Kurama he can't seal it back in kushina

[@adamdonovan7269]

@DygoKnight He wouldn't need to kill him. Kushina told him to reseal the 9 tails back inside her. Meaning he was capable of doing that. He didn't because he wanted to keep the 9 tails alive but if he sealed it back inside her, she would have lived like Naruto did. Meaning Kushina, the full 9 tails and Minato would all still be alive.

[@xerty5502]

In less i am absoloutly missing something and considering the last time i read the manga was a while ago that is certainly possible i do not rember minato being confident in his ablity to kill the 9 tails at all in fact the fact that he had to rrsort to the death rraper seal in the first place shows he was not skilled enough at fuinjutsu to seal it by another means. Witch mito did at the vally of the end. No real problems with any thing else stated just do not see any rrasonble assurance that minato could have taken kurama at all. I can think of possiblites were that would be possible but they involve people who are not currently in the leaf being there to help minato juriaya tusnade kushina and hiruzen toghter might have pullled it off or even surpprrsed the 9 tails enough to allow it being sealed by other means but we do not even know that, as the possiblity is never directly looked at in primary sources. All we do know is that kurama could be sealed with out the death reaper seal because mito managed it we can guess she managed it because hasarama was surpessing kurama but we do not know
