Naruto Shippuden Episode 248: The Fourth Hokage’s Death Match and Episode 249: Thank You will give you an unprecedented look into the pivotal events surrounding Naruto’s birth. Events that are briefly shown in the manga are fleshed out and Naruto's early life is fully explained.
The Fourth Hokage’s Death Match takes you right into the delivery room for Naruto's birth. But what should be a joyous occasion turns dire when Madara kidnaps Naruto’s mother and releases the Nine Tails. As a fan, seeing the very events that shape the entire series play out before your eyes is a powerful experience, especially seeing the Fourth Hokage in action. Oh, and for all you Sasuke fans, there’s a special scene in this episode you’ll definitely enjoy.
Thank You focuses on the destruction of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. It makes it easier to understand why Naruto was treated so coldly in the beginning, after seeing the human toll inflicted on the villagers by the Nine Tails' attack. Artistically speaking, the destruction scene is amazing. The art style actually changes for a segment and is reminiscent of ancient woodblock prints. To top it all off, the scene where Naruto’s parents are sealing the Nine Tails and are saying their goodbyes to him is downright heart wrenching.
Watching these episodes feels like being transported back in time and seeing history happen right before your eyes. There are so many more details given here than are ever shown in the manga. For die-hard fans, this will hit you hard (don't be afraid to cry manly tears like I did!) and reaffirm what you love about this anime. For non-fans, this will show you why this series took the world by storm. Either way, don’t miss these two legendary episodes!

Nine tails attack and the 3rd Hokage's death
The 3rd Hokage died in vain to protect his beautiful son, Naruto. How a sad end to his life. R.I.P 3rd Hokage Minato
ummmm.
he was the 4th hokage... not the 3rd
4th Hokage
Minato was the 4th hokage, you mostly see this because they mention it in the manga a lot plus the 3rd hokage takes back over the village when Minato loses his life. You also see the fact that he's the 4th by the faces on the side of the mountains where Minato's is the 4th face on the wall.
why wasn't the 4th hokages request to the 3rd ever fufilled
why didn't the 3rd hokage ever fufill the 4th hokage's request that naruto be treated as a hero of the village, but instead the 3rd hokage makes that rule and the entire village treats him as though he is the plague. And why not tell naruto about his father and mother instead of him finding out on his own.
but instead the 3rd hokage
but instead the 3rd hokage makes that rule and the entire village treats him as though he is the plague.
Mmk, Well First Off, This Is Not True, Because He Never Did That, And This Will Basically Answer The Whole Question; People Are Ignorant, And For The Last Bit, If U Paid Attention To The Storyline, Its Because He Was Protecting Him From Minato's Enemies By Not Telling Him
And He Made A Rule To Tell
And He Made A Rule To Tell Nobody Who His Father And Mother Are, And Not To Speak Of The 9 Tails Being Inside Him In Public
