Impeccable post as always, young one .

That said, let's move on to another topic, shall we?? I predict Minato breaking out of ET somehow later. If you think about it, the setup makes sense. Tsunade is essentially on her deathbed. And if Minato breaks out of ET like Itachi did, he can take over the position again until Naruto is ready. Honestly, I think I'd rather see Minato passing on the position to his son (and the EPIC CLOAK, to boot ). It'd also be a moment where you'll probably use up all the tissues in your tissue box because when the time comes, Minato will fade to the afterlife at the same time.

I think he's gonna at least meet Naruto again. I mean, it would be sooo wrong IMO if Sasuke is the only one to see him in person. Can't wait to see what unfolds for the previous hokages. Even though I don't particularly care for Sasuke, this will help pass the time until we get our heroine back whenever in the future. Hopefully the near future.

Oh gawd. Minato Hokage again ... I can't. Sorry, Minato fangirl moment. Kakashi is still always an option, but it is true he doesn't really want the job. And Naruto's still way too immature IMO to deal with the pressures of being Hokage. 615 couldn't be more clear, giving up that easily with just one person dying. Naruto wouldn't be ready to deal with that responsibility if more died in his care. But the question I have is, how would Minato do something like this? It's not an impossibility, given how intelligent and strong he is. Itachi also had those skills so he broke out, with help from his hax Sharingan. Minato passing on the Hokage duty to Naruto is very touching and an emotional moment, but didn't Kishi say he didn't really have time for family bond with MinaKushiNaru? Wasn't that the point of the RtN movie?

Either way, I will be disappointed if Kishimoto passes up the chance to have Minato interact with Naruto now that he's back. It would be insulting that Sasuke gets a chance to see him but Naruto, his own son, can't. If that happens, I swear I'm writing MinaNaru fanfiction so they can interact like a family like I want ). It'll be like not having a Chiyo vs. Sakura fight all over again for her character development. Just another open door closed.

Ugh.... At the bolded. Me and Slextrem hoped that would happen when the war first broke out... All that excitement we had for nothing. I always felt Kishimoto didn't give her many fights because they'd likely end to face thanks to her KO punches, but when we see the dead brought back to life, I got excited because they're dead! It'd be like her fight with Sasori pretty much. I STILL think Sasori was made specifically for her because her punches couldn't destroy him completely, and he was a puppet. Bleh, I don't even want to talk about it anymore. LMAO But I definitely agree especially when it comes to Naruto and Minato reunion. He'd better not just have Sasuke meet him and not Naruto...

@RG:

Actually, Paradox Jast and I have this long-standing theory that Minato saw this all coming because he had time traveled with Hiraishin (by accident). He went back and forth from his present to the future and set up several things like double locks on Naruto's seal and the failsafe devices. He also finds out the alliance fought the Juubi in the future from small hints and notes from the distant future after the war. This explains last chapter's explanation regarding the chakra freebies.

I don't think the alliance would've stood a chance if Minato hadn't specifically designed his seal to help Naruto do so. That would've taken a couple of years to prepare beforehand. He also finds out something about him being alive in the future, which would none other than be this.

Soon after this, I predict Minato meeting Naruto (I still hope for a Kushina resurrection) and fighting him, but thanks to preparation he set up years ago, he designed for Kurama's chakra and Naruto's seal to break him out of ET somehow.

He probably knew Hokages 1-3 would be resurrected, but he would've needed a sample from them. He can't possibly get them for obvious reasons. Hiruzen, because he doesn't want to tell him his plan. Hashirama and his brother goes without saying.

I think Minato becoming Hokage again is a high possibility now. Kakashi wouldn't take it because he probably feels undeserving of a position. Especially now that he realizes he's essentially the whole reason the world got into this mess in the first place. Kakashi has a ton of indirect body counts on his head to boot, including Neji.

Interesting. That theory very well makes a lot of sense, considering how well Minato plans ahead and his genuis intellect. Guess only time will tell if the prediction turns out to be true. I'd be really good storytelling and I always love seeing him in action.

That actually makes sense. There is no way Kakashi would accept being an Hokage now, especially since his fated decision to kill Rin with a chidori for whatever reason he had is what drove Obito to do what he did. It's not his fault directly, but it is a reason.

All I have to say about Minato being the Hokage again: Huh. A dead man being Konoha's Hokage. Now you don't see that everyday.

Still love Minato being Hokage again! He's one of my favorite characters, it always disappointed me that we never actually knew that much about him. And as for Kushina being ressurrected ... eh, can't say. Need more evidence to claim that by this point.

[Chucky-kun]

I remember reading something about an early release a couple of pages back. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Yeah, it'd be funny if the other nations actually point it out. Of course, there is "Madara".

It was me. Yeah, it will be an early release this week because the WSJ will be out this Saturday instead of Monday as usual (In Japan 11th Februar is a national holiday since that's National Foundation Day's date)

So we would expect the chapter already tomorrow...

I think Minato will probably meet Naruto. But, what I want to know is how will he be free from the Edo Tensei ?. We only know till now that Itachi broke the Edo Tensei because he has his eyes. Maybe there's something connecting Minato to Naruto that can help him break free, with all the hokages too maybe.

@Codus N: I think too that Minato somehow knew that this day will come. Perhaps he has planned for that.

I actually can't see all of the 4 hokages being manipulated, and then disappear whenever Orochimaru pleases.

I can't wait for Naruto and Minato to meet, no matter what the circumstances, enemies or friends.
My fangirl heart, it is dying to see some interaction between the father and son.

This possibility along with Road to Ninja... hopefully a lot. Get inspired FF writers!

Are they gonna meet? I didn't think that was gonna be possible

[kirabook]

I don't know, it might just be the fangirl in me speaking but I think they will meet in some way.

Minato will go away again of course, but I can't help but feel that Naruto will get to see his father one last time.

[MangaReader]

It'd be even better if mom and dad got to meet their son one last time ;P

But sadly, Kushina wasn't revived. But lucky for Minato, he gets to meet Kushina now instead of fighting in the Shinigami's stomach.

[sushi.]

Many people want Kushina to be resurrected. I do like the idea, where does it come from? Has anything other than wishful thinking indicated that she will be brought back?

I also don't like the idea of Minato being Hokage. The dead should stay dead. I was OK with Nagato's Rinne Tensei, but they got revived right after they died. Minato has been dead for 16 years. He also said he would leave Konoha's safety to Naruto. My logic tells me he should not be Hokage..my fangirl side however.. -No, in all honesty, I want him to be reunited with Kushina.

[kirabook]

Neh, I love Minato and all, but he's been dead so long and choose to die at that moment. It would be really weird if he became Hokage and I think he'd want to be with his wife, probably watching over Naruto.

I don't really see the point in reviving Kushina unless her chakra can be used to seal up the Juubi again. She doesn't have Kyuubi anymore and we don't really know much about her other abilities. I don't see much of the point. I mean, it would be cool and all, but it'd feel too farfetched and fanficy.
