Kushina's body was already far too weak.
She could no longer serve as the vessel that sealed the Nine-Tails.
But ordinary people lacked the Uzumaki Clan's special constitution. None of them could serve as this so-called vessel.
"Have you considered sealing the Nine-Tails inside two people?"

Minato looked at Liumu, who had made the suggestion.
