Kushina did request Minato reseal the Ninetails into her dying body, just so she could die, bringing the Ninetails with her. But Minato knew that they would need the power of the Nine tails, and I guess he used his own life to somehow adjust it to his son(To this day, I don't know why they just didn't keep Naruto having the Ninetails, as a secret, since they already made his parents a secret)

My favorite battle would be, Sasuke vs Deidera. A satisfactory Naruti type Ninja battle, that had it's twist and thrills.

The second would be, Sasuke vs Itachi. The battle that was expected from way back to the Original series. The animation and the sequence was brilliant, and story wise, this was destined. It was amazing to see Sasuke get through Itachi's MS jutsus, and outsmart him, well until the whole out of nowhere Susanoo thing. It was finally nice to see an epic battle between two Uchihas, two sharingan users, and two brothers. There was never a fight similar to that after that.
