A group of people tried to talk Jiraiya out of going to Rain Village to die.
Jiraiya was helpless.
Danzo looked at Kushina and said, "Kushina, you must master the Nine-Tails' Power as soon as possible. Only then can you stand against Madara Uchiha."
Kushina was helpless. "How am I supposed to master it? The Nine-Tails roars at me whenever it sees me. Even Grandmother Mito can't control its power. How could I possibly succeed?"
Inside Kushina's belly, the Nine-Tails was like a useless husband, tied up tight.
Inside the bellies of Kushina and Mito Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails could only hiss. It didn't have even the slightest room to move.
Such a powerful seal could certainly suppress the Nine-Tails in its complete form, but it also completely sealed away the Tailed Beast's power, leaving the Jinchuriki unable to use it.
The Eight Trigrams Seal Minato gave Naruto allowed Tailed Beast Chakra to leak out. That was what gave Naruto the chance to control the Nine-Tails' Chakra.
Minato had started planning from the moment he saw Obito. His strategic vision rivaled Senju Tobirama's.
"..."
Everyone fell silent.
Danzo said, "We should ally with Cloud Village as soon as possible. Cloud Village began using Tailed Beasts back in the Warring States Period. Their research into Tailed Beasts is among the most advanced of the Five Great Shinobi Villages."
Everyone nodded.
But Minato shook his head. "No. Kushina is already pregnant with my child. She can't go to the battlefield, let alone try to control a Tailed Beast as dangerous as the Nine-Tails."
Minato stood in front of Kushina, shielding her from every danger.
Danzo roared, "Then terminate the pregnancy! If we can't defeat Madara Uchiha, your child won't have any future!"
Minato replied firmly, "No. I believe we can defeat Madara Uchiha."
