Even so, Namikaze Minato did not simply leave everything to the Third Hokage's personal integrity. To ensure the safety and upbringing of his son Naruto, he was even willing to make Naruto the Jinchuriki of the dreaded Tailed Beast.
For only by doing so could he guarantee that, no matter how future political currents shifted, Konohagakure would do absolute battle to protect Naruto, preserving his precious life and leaving him a glimmer of a chance at survival. This way, Naruto would still have the opportunity to truly come into his own; having witnessed the perfect Jinchuriki of the Third Great Ninja War with his own eyes, Minato firmly believed that Naruto would undoubtedly achieve greatness in the future.
Naturally, Uchiha Chi had no inkling of the rich emotional currents churning through Namikaze Minato's mind at that moment, nor did he know that Minato had even briefly harbored misunderstandings about the Third Hokage and the others. Just as Chi opened his mouth to say something—wanting to test whether there was still any hope of saving Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina—he suddenly found the words dying in his throat as he realized the true gravity of their current physical conditions.
