[There's still a bit of time left, so I'll try to finish this plot.]
[First, Minato didn't know that putting the Nine-Tails back into Kushina's body would save her.]
[Second, Kushina herself wanted to drag the Nine-Tails back and die together.]
[Also, the Nine-Tails was restrained by the girl just after it was freed, so the resentment was really deep. Kushina was in a very bad state, and resealing it wouldn't help and might even speed up her death.]
[Minato was also worried that if the Nine-Tails was killed by Kushina, it would upset the balance of the tailed beasts in the ninja world.]
[If Konoha lost the Jinchūriki (his wife) and another tailed beast, it would be a huge loss.]
[So, in just a few minutes, there was a scene where an old father accompanied his wife in her final moments and entrusted their son to the world with high hopes.]
[Overall, Kushina will most likely die, and the Nine-Tails might die too, depending on the situation.]
[But Minato, who is in good condition, really doesn't need to die.]
[As a result, the father put all the responsibility on Naruto and died with his wife.]
[If Obito knew Minato was dead, he'd probably be stunned for a long time.]
[He was still thinking about how to beat Minato next time, but Minato was killed off by the plot just like the Second Hokage.]
[So, I'll pause this part of the story for now.]
[Minato, with his Flying Thunder God technique, is too difficult to handle. The author clearly sacrificed the Namikaze Minato couple for the sake of the protagonist's future strength and plot convenience.]
[That's all for Minato's story. We'll cover the post-Impure World Reincarnation period later.]
[I'm Hayashi Sora, see you next time!]

"What? So Yondaime was a love-struck person?"
After watching Minato Namikaze's inventory video, Tsunade curled her lips in disdain.
"Tsunade, don't you think Minato's love for his wife is beautiful and his final choice is touching?"
Seeing that little Tsunade looked down on her future disciple, little Jiraiya couldn't help but speak up in defense.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what little Jiraiya said, little Tsunade became even more disdainful.
"Like master, like disciple. Since he values his wife more than the village, why does he even want to be Hokage?"
"What does that have to do with being Hokage? Didn't Minato's sacrifice move you at all?"
At this point, little Jiraiya became a bit angry.
In his opinion, the love between Minato and his wife is something worth celebrating.
How touching that the husband gave up his life and chose to follow his wife in death.
"I'm so moved. But in my opinion, Minato is a coward. He abandoned his village and his son, only thinking of his wife. How can someone like him be Hokage? Ugh."
No wonder little Tsunade is so upset.
Since she was young, she has always looked up to her grandfather and second grandfather as her idols.
You could say they sacrificed everything for the village.
The first "killed" his best friend with his own hands.
The second never got married.
Compared to them, Minato's choice to die makes Tsunade feel disgusted.
"Tsunade, are you even a woman? How can you say such things?"
"How am I not a woman? Don't think I don't know! You perverted nymphomaniac, you often peek at me when I'm bathing."
Hearing this, little Jiraiya's face suddenly turned red.
He muttered softly, "Who would want to peek at your flat chest?"
To be honest, Tsunade didn't have much to show when she was younger.
But at that time, Jiraiya didn't care about that. He cared more about a woman's pretty face.
And judging by her face alone, little Tsunade was undoubtedly very beautiful.
Besides little Jiraiya, many others in the village liked little Tsunade a lot.
Of course, those who admired Tsunade wouldn't be as perverted as to spy on her while she bathed.
"Jiraiya, if you want to die, just say so, and I'll send you to meet your ancestors right away."
Seeing that young Tsunade was seriously going to attack him, young Jiraiya quickly hid behind young Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, move out of the way."
Young Orochimaru's face twitched with frustration.
It wasn't that he didn't want to move.
It was that Jiraiya was holding onto him from behind.
"Na-na-na~ You can't hit me, ha-ha~ You can't hit me."
Using Orochimaru as a shield, Tsunade hesitated, not wanting to accidentally hurt him.
Seeing this, young Jiraiya started taunting her again.
"Orochimaru, if you don't move, I'll hit you too."
Realizing Tsunade was serious, Orochimaru started to panic.
"Jiraiya, I'm sorry, but I'm also afraid of Tsunade's fists."
With that, Orochimaru quickly took off his outer clothes and slipped away from the danger.
Young Jiraiya was stunned, watching his friend undress and flee.
Is Orochimaru really this shameless?
He stared blankly in the direction Orochimaru ran, only to see him still fully dressed.
Orochimaru: Are you dumb? I'm wearing another layer underneath.
What's the most important thing when traveling in the ninja world?
Caution, of course.
If he hadn't been so cautious and worn extra clothes today, he might have just run away half-naked from the Hokage's office.
"Jiraiya, prepare to die."
"Ah! No! Help!"
Young Tsunade's punch hit Jiraiya square in the chest, probably breaking a couple of ribs.
"Someone, help me!"
Young Orochimaru pretended to rush to Jiraiya's side, then shook his head and sighed: "No hope. Just wait for death. Goodbye!"
"No, I think I can still be saved…"
Finally, this little commotion ended when Tobirama, who had just finished handing out rewards, chatting on the phone, and confirming his travel plans, intervened.
"Koharu, just give Jiraiya some basic treatment first, and then take him to Konoha Hospital."
"Okay, Sensei."
Thanks to Koharu's treatment, little Jiraiya's complexion looked much better.
"Everyone, stay still. I'm going to place a Seal Tag on each of you."
When Tobirama pulled out a stack of Seal Tags from his ninja tool bag, no one knew what he was planning to do.
One of them, Kagami, asked, "Sensei, what are you doing?"
"It's for safety."
As Tobirama placed the Seal Tags on them, he explained, "These are based on White Zetsu's characteristics. I developed them specifically to detect White Zetsu's ability to possess people."
"In other words, once this Seal Tag is on you, we'll know if you're possessed by White Zetsu."
As soon as he finished speaking, two pale bodies emerged from Mitokado Homura and Shimura Danzo.
"There are actually two this time."
Tobirama's eyes gleamed as he saw White Zetsu appear.
In today's ninja world, nothing is better for experiments than White Zetsu.
Not only does it have strong regenerative abilities, but it also doesn't die easily during experiments.
More importantly, White Zetsu doesn't need to eat.
They don't have the organs that normal people have.
This avoids the "accidental explosion" situation during experiments.
With the previous White Zetsu, Tobirama had to be very careful, worrying that using too much force would kill it.
But now, with three White Zetsus, he could relax a bit.
Maybe, just maybe, cloning technology could succeed earlier than expected.
Senju Tobirama: Thanks, my friend Uchiha Madara, for sending me two great experimental materials.
Uchiha Madara: ???
