Minato sealed half the nine tails inside himself and the other half in naruto, and he used the reaper death seal, killing himself. why didn't he seal half into kushina and the other half in naruto using a different sealing jutsu, that way minato and kushina would live. Another way the story could go is that after sealing half into himself and the other half in naruto, why didn't kakashi become his godfather? Hiruzen never really had the time to raise naruto because he is hokage, but kakashi is minato's student, so why didn't he raise naruto?
