How does minato namikaze die

Ultimately, both parents gave their lives to save their newborn son and the entire village, sealing the Nine Tails into their child and kick-starting the entire story in the process. Everybody knows that Minato Namikaze had a frightening array of techniques at his disposal and that the ninja became famous for his use of the Flying Thunder God and the Rasengan. However, in the Naruto Shippuden movie The Lost Tower , Minato uses a very different type of technique — memory erasure.

The Lost Tower is a time-bending tale that sees a present-day Naruto team up with Minato from the past in order to take down a common enemy.

Although Minato eventually makes the connection that Naruto is his future son, he is also acutely aware of the Butterfly Effect and makes a conscious effort to not learn anything that may alter the natural course of time. As a precaution, Minato uses the Memory Erasing Seal on himself and his team to wipe the encounter from their minds. As revealed in the third Naruto data book, Kushina was particularly fond of shio ramen — a salt based variety.

As Kakashi so expertly explains, everyone has an affinity for at least one of the five basic elemental natures: Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, and Lightning. However, with skill and training, a Shinobi can master more than one nature transformation, for example Sasuke was proficient in the Lightning and Fire styles from an early age. As is typical of a high level ninja, Minato could harness three different elements: Fire, Lightning, and Wind. Interestingly, Kushina could use both Wind and Water styles, presumably as a result of her home village.

Strangely, Naruto was only seen to master one element without the help of Tailed Beasts or the Sage of Six Paths and that was the Wind element that both of his parents had an affinity for. Despite not appearing very often in Naruto , Kushina became a very popular and well-rounded character and this may be due to the fact that Masashi Kishimoto partly based her on his own wife. Itachi manages to complete the test without outside aid and is later told that he received the second-highest score of all time, only being bested by Minato Namikaze.

What's more, Minato's arm has not regenerated, indicating that Obito's Truth-Seeking Balls can nullify the advantages of the Impure World Reincarnation.

Obito traps the Alliance in his own barrier and prepares to destroy them all with a barrage of Tailed Beast Balls. With little time to act, Naruto forms a plan: he and Minato link their respective Kurama's chakra — which networks in all of the Allied forces that Naruto has shared its chakra with — and lets Minato teleport all of them out of the barrier.

Minato is very impressed by Naruto's quick-thinking and says he wishes he had more of a chance time to talk to him. Naruto explains there's no need as he's already met Kushina and heard everything. Minato is moved to tears with pride. Having learned that Obito is susceptible to senjutsu , Minato prepares for an assault while Naruto enters Sage Mode.

They both then enter Tailed Beast Mode and attack with a combined Rasengan , breaking Obito's defence and forcing him to manifest the Ten-Tails' tree form. They evade the tree's roots, but Minato's chakra levels are severely depleted. He is forced to keep his distance and watch as Naruto leads the Allied Shinobi in another assault against Obito.

When the Alliance starts to strip the tailed beasts from Obito's body, Minato helps Naruto pull out the fragments of Kurama's chakra Obito has taken, and ultimately they succeed. Obito is unable to move after his defeat and Kakashi moves in to kill him.

Minato stops him, having sensed Obito's change of heart while he was removing Kurama's chakra. Obito reflects on his actions and decides he has done terrible things, which he wants to make amends for by using the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive those he's killed.

While he is forming the hand seals, Black Zetsu emerges from the ground and takes control of his body. Minato and Kakashi are confused, so Obito explains he has been forced to revive Madara instead. Black Zetsu also tries to take Obito's Rinnegan to deliver to Madara. Minato and Kakashi move to stop it, but can't do anything without harming Obito.

Before Black Zetsu assumes full control of his body, Obito pleads with Minato and Kakashi to destroy the Rinnegan at any cost. He is soon brought to Minato's side, with Sakura performing emergency life support and Gaara explaining that the only chance of saving Naruto's life is if he is given Yin-Kurama.

Minato enters Sage Mode and attacks him alongside Kakashi, but they are easily repelled and Minato loses his other arm. Before Madara can take what he wants, Obito reasserts control of his body and, with some help from Kakashi, escapes with Naruto and Sakura using Kamui. Might Guy arrives, ready to give his life to defeat Madara.

With his energy and arms gone, Minato can do very little to help directly, but he can at least give Guy an opening. He later witnesses the others' failure when the Infinite Tsukuyomi is cast and Konoha's villagers are entwined by the God: Nativity of a World of Trees.

He attempts to cut some people from the tree, but has no success as another branch simply forms and imprisons them again. Minato returns to the battlefield and reunites with the other Hokage, the only ones unaffected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi. As they try to figure out what they can do to help, the four Hokage are met by the spirit of the Sage of the Six Paths , who recruits their help. Combining efforts with the spirits of the other deceased Kage , they summon Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Sakura, Madara, and the tailed beasts back from Kaguya's dimension.

Minato congratulates Naruto on finally ending the war and wishes him a happy seventeenth birthday. Happy with his son's prospects for the future, Minato and the other Kage are returned to the afterlife by the Sage of Six Paths with Minato silently promising to tell Kushina everything that had occurred. After Minato died, the Third Hokage reported to the villagers Minato's last request that Naruto be regarded as a hero.

Very few were able to separate their hatred of the Nine-Tails from Naruto, prompting the Third to forbid anyone from speaking of the Nine-Tails, hoping that the younger generation would not blindly hate Naruto as the rest of the villagers did.

For years Naruto did not know his parents' identities, and neither did most of Konoha. Even when he was not aware of his relation to Minato, Naruto still greatly admired the Fourth Hokage, considering him a hero who gave his life for the village [80] and becoming overjoyed whenever their similarities were remarked upon.

With Minato's death, the Third was forced to resume his position as Hokage, a role he filled until his death, never being able to find a replacement of Minato's calibre.

Minato himself became regarded as the village's hero, [80] and, indeed, one of the greatest ninja Konoha had ever produced, [36] so much so that villagers would regret his death whenever tragedy struck the village.

Jiraiya recognised that Minato would not have sealed the Nine-Tails into his own son unless he had a good reason and that Minato intended Naruto to gain control of the Nine-Tails, but he could never conclude why. Several years after the war, Minato had two grandchildren , who both inherited his prodigious talent. Minato tries to get Naruto to leave so that he won't tell them anything that will change the future.

The attack fails and Naruto is left exhausted, so Minato lends him some of his own and advises him on where Mukade's weak points are.

Realising that Naruto is his son and that they therefore have similar chakra, they are able to create the Supreme Ultimate Rasengan and defeat Mukade.

Naruto tries to fight it, wanting to talk to Minato and warn him about what will happen, but Minato refuses. Naruto asks if there is at least a chance that Minato is his father, to which Minato responds that if he ever had a son, he wishes he would be just like Naruto. Naruto smiles and sheds tears of joy before being sent back to the future.

Minato wipes everyone's memory so that their meeting Naruto won't change the future. Main article: Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie In the alternate world , Minato never became Hokage and therefore he and Kushina did not die on the night of their son, Menma 's, birth.

While essentially the same as his real-world counterpart kind, courageous, and dutiful , this Minato values his family's safety above all else, choosing to put their well-being before all others.

Though not a playable character, Minato appears in early instalments of the Ultimate Ninja series as part of Naruto's ultimate technique called "Mysterious Aid Arrives". Narutopedia Explore.

English name. The Yang part will go to Naruto and the Ying part will be sealed inside of him. After the first part of his plan completed, Minato had now to seal the second half part of Kyuubi inside his son with the eight trigrams seal.

The denouement is bloody and resulting in the death of Kushina and Minato , impaled by the claws of Nine Tails, using their own bodies as shields to save their son. With their last moments, both parents told their son their last words of love and wished him to stay strong as his life will definitely not be easy. Then Minato sealed the other half of Kyuubi inside of Naruto while sealing some of his wife as well. When Naruto will need some assistance someday to learn how to control his Bijuu, her chakra will activate to help him with his task.

He then sealed some of his chakra inside of his son that should activate if ever the seal was about to be broken so that he could restore it directly. Ultimately, he asked the Third Hokage to protect his son and keep his identity as much secret as possible.
