In addition, the "Four Symbol Seal" is actually the "Four Element Seal" said by Naruto when asked by Killer Bee during his training.

@NaraShikamaru Yes, there may be a difference in terminology due to different English Transalations available over the internet. :)

@NaraShikamaru as seen during the battle between Orochimaru and Sarutobi, the Third was able to seal only a part of Orochimaru, namely Orochimaru's hand. So I guess, Minato too did something similar and sealed only a part of the nine tails in him.

But the "Orochimaru's hand" doesn't mean that it is a "bad hand" or a "good hand" right? I think you misunderstood. My point is you can't just separate the "creamer" and the "coffee" if they mixed up in hot water.

Yin or yang don't mean good or bad. They mean mind and body. Minato sealed the yang in Naruto because the yin would have more mind power, and would be harder to control.

*"Black and White as Evil and Good like a Yin-Yang"*, not yin and yang.

<p>When the Kyuubi attacked the Leaf Village after being hypnotized by Tobi, Minato as a last resort separated the Kyuubi into two parts. Recently in the latest chapters of the manga, it looks like the Kyuubi was separated into Black and White, as in Evil and Good, or Yin and Yang.</p>

<p>What technique did he use? Did he really split the Kyuubi into good and evil halves? Or is it just something made up for the split?</p>

The 4 Element Seal was used so that the chakra of the Nine Tailed Fox would slowly leak out from the Eight Trigrams Seal and merge with Naruto's own chakra.
