Something interesting to consider, perhaps a potential plot hole.

Nagato is revealed to have been **35** at the time of his death in Part II. Minato is revealed to have been **24** at the time of his death 12 years prior to Part I.

Had been Minato been alive in Part II, i.e. **17** years later, this would have been him **41** years old, i.e. **6** years older than Nagato.

Minato graduated from the academy at **10** years old. Jiraiya was his jōnin supervisor. Jiraiya stayed with the Ame Orphans for **3** years.

I'm just thinking out loud here, but this doesn't seem to add up.
