Yes and no. the backstory behind the sealing of ninetails in naruto had a huge plot hole due to poor planning, and it makes Minato seem like a worser character than he really is. With the way naruto's parents were said to have died and their legacy, it made sense for kishimoto to show their foresight, given that even in dying moments, minato thought ahead enough to have a fail-safe for the nine-tails seal and a way for meeting his son in a big reveal and for a heart-warming reunion between long-lost father and son. So from a story perspective it made sense. But the real plot hole was that minato and kushina somehow didn't know that all they had to do was reseal the kyuubi into her. Bam, naruto grows up with his parents, isn't hated, probably learns rasnegan even earlier and possibly FTG. The war-arc made minato seem foolish.
