wow this has to be the best Naruto episode so far...the hokage dieing and the ninjas of konoha fighting for the village .. kinda touching...hm...yea and people say that naruto is a reincarnation of the 4th i think its true :P cos when the Hokage seals orochimarus techniques in his body he had to seal it into himself...and since the 4th sealed the nine tail fox demon he mustv sealed it in himself right? and it killed him aswel...then he was reincarnated with the spirit? either that or the 4th couldv just sealed it into Naruto for some reason. wow thats long..hm...wots your opinion?

You are right, this is one of the best part in Naruto story line. Rarely character dies in shonen manga, but the death of the 3rd hokage is unexpected. Kishimot sensei already explains this once in Shonen jump, Naruto is a vessel to seal nine tail fox and not an reincarnation. The spirit of the 4th is imprisoned with the god of death for "eternity". If you watch carefully, when the 3rd use the "god of death" jutsu, there is one blue person soul being chained with that "god of death". That soul is probably the soul of the 4th... The question that people are asking is probably what's the reason for the 4th to use Naruto for vessel?? Is Naruto related (blood?) to the 4th!?!?
