Ive been wondering something for a while. Didnt the fourth hokage use the dead demon summoning seal(as its called on wikipedia) on the nine tails fox? And I thought using that technique put them in like an eternal battle. So wouldnt that mean if the nine tail fox was sealed in naruto wouldnt the fourth hokage be sealed in him too? I read that part a while ago so did i possibly forget an explanation about that or miss something?

you mean like the Third tried to use on Oro?

Yeah. During the fight between the third and orochimaru it said it was the same technique that was used by the fourth on the nine tail.

Hmmm, thats a good question, i would asume if it was said in the show, that it might be true, but you cant always take everything word for word in anime.

i guess we need to wait for one of those people that type an unbearably long post to sort this one out.

ps. sorry if that offends anyone, but its true, reading a long post thats a wall of text hurts my eyes to focus, you should atleast add a tl;dr to the bottom

(Too long; Didn't Read, it is used to sum things up.)

well even if the 4th was sealed in with the 9 tail i expect him to have been eaten by it already

i'm not sure if the move Sarutobi used was the same as Minato. he developed the move but i don't think anyone else has really gotten a hold on the specifics of the move itself like Sarutobi. so my opinion is that what Sarutobi used is like a custom version of it.

i thought it was the same thing 😕 it still has the same affect though sealing what ever you want to seal for your life

i was nervous at first it was big & long & went straight up i had to try it i eased onto it & liked it! i went up & down on it.... i love escalators now! 😀

(great onizuka ftw)

i don't think it is cause the effects between them have differed greatly it seems. looking at Naruto all that tech. did was seal the Kyuubi in him. but the one Sarutobi did managed to lock the 1st and 2nd in forever battle with each other in the afterlife so to say. so i think there might have been some differences in the tech.

oh i see, that would also explain Naruto's filtering situation. but then that leads me to wonder wouldn't that cut the creature's power in half?

hmm, well it seems like something that's possible. i was under the assumption that it might have been more like a fail safe maneuver against Sasuke's new Sharinngan. let alone controlling it, Naruto isn't able to control the half he has now. maybe what Itachi gave him isn't the other half but a means to control what he has now. after all aside from the First the Uchiha clan's top prodigies have shown they could possibly control a Bijuu.

wait in what chapter did it say naruto only has half of the nine-tails? o_O
and i think the sealing techinique was the same but the fourth customized it so that the fox is taken into naruto instead of the death god. If he really only has half of the nine-tails then that makes more sense, one half was taken with the fourth into the death god and one half was sealed in naruto. Then again i seem to remember in the orochimaru vs 3rd fight orochimaru was about to summon the fourth too but the 3rd stopped him, if he indeed was going to summon him that means the fourth was never sucked into the death god's stomach.

actually now that you mention it, that does raise some questions there as well. cause it's true if the move Minato used was the same as Sarutobi then he'd be eternally fighting the Kyuubi. so there would be no soul to call back to fight Sarutobi. but that also leads me to wonder if anyone really got what exactly he did to seal it into Naruto specifically.
