Stage 1 Story:
The manga begins with a captivating panel depicting Jiraiya‘s squad, including Minato and two other skilled shinobi. They are in a fierce battle against the formidable two-tailed-tailed beasts and their jinchuriki, Son Goku and Kokuo. The scene hints at the intense circumstances that Jiraiya’s team finds themselves in, facing imminent danger.
Although we don’t have further panels to analyze, it’s apparent that this particular scene takes place during the tumultuous Third Great Ninja War. Through these visuals, we can glimpse the two shinobi accompanying Jiraiya’s team, adding more depth to the narrative.
Stage 2 Story:
In a separate frame, we witness Jiraiya’s training sessions with Minato, mirroring the training dynamic between Jiraiya and Naruto. It’s a heartwarming sight as Jiraiya shares a nostalgic rock candy treat with Minato, further highlighting their bond. This training regimen focuses on Minato’s endeavor to create a powerful new jutsu known as the Rasengan.
Stage 3 Story:
There might be several panels that contribute to this stage. One such panel showcases two mysterious black ANBU agents attempting to escort Kushina somewhere, only to be thwarted by her adept use of chain jutsu, skillfully binding them in place. Kushina’s actions imply her realization that she is in grave danger.
Subsequently, we witness Kushina succumbing to an uncontrollable frenzy, similar to Naruto when he loses control of Kurama. In this chaotic moment, Minato, dressed in casual attire, valiantly attempts to restrain and pacify Kushina.
A fierce battle ensues between Minato and Kurama, during which Kurama unleashes its formidable tails while Minato employs the Rasengan to contain and suppress the rampaging beast. This momentous encounter occurs on the same day that Minato successfully invents the Rasengan.
Although the problematic clash nearly claims Minato’s life, he manages to seal Kurama back into Kushina, preventing further catastrophe. The following scene reveals Minato awakening in his room, where he is attended by Kushina, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, indicating that Tsunade likely provided healing assistance during his recovery.
