Summary
Acknowledging his defeat, Tobi once again relocates to a safe distance from the Fourth, but not before stating he will have another chance at world conquest, and then he too, teleported away. After releasing the Nine Tails' from Tobi's control, Minato arrives in Konoha and asks Gamabunta to keep the Nine Tails' still while he prepares to teleport it to a safer location. After relocating to a another place, he is unexpectedly met by Kushina Uzumaki and their newborn, who restrains the Nine Tails' using her chakra chains. Asking what she is doing here, Kushina responds to him by stating she intends to use the last of her chakra to pull the fox back to her with her so the it will die with her. Minato prepares to use the seal away the fox, telling Kushina he'll conserve her chakra to give her a chance to see Naruto one last time as the death god hovers ominously over him. Kushina protests the use of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, asking Minato why he is sacrificing himself so she can meet Naruto for a few minutes when he's older. He convinces her that it's the right thing to do because "he could never substitute for her". The death god grabs the Nine-Tails but seals only half of it. Minato summons Gerotora and gives him the key to the seal he's about to put on Naruto. Kushina gives Naruto a long list of things to do then Minato performs the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style on Naruto. In the present, Kushina apologises to Naruto for not being there and he tells her he didn't know what a parent's love was like but he managed.
