In Naruto chapter 618, all the souls that are bound inside the shinigami of
the shiki fuujin were pulled out by Orochimaru. It includes the souls of the
four previous Hokages. Now, before his death, Minato was able to seal half of
the nine tails chakra into his own. Does it mean that he is much stronger than
he when was alive? Does he have any chance on using the kyuubi's chakra for
himself just like what Naruto did?

Is the reanimated Minato much stronger than when he was alive?


No. The Shiki Fuujin seals the souls. That means that the chakra of the Kyuubi
is sealed independently from the soul of Minato. If you revive a soul, you
only revive the own soul, but not anything that was sealed inside his _body_.

The resurrected Minato _is_ stronger than when he was alive, but that is due
to the properties of Edo Tensei (unlimited chakra, near-unlimited stamina, and
automatic regeneration of any damage taken).

~~Minato does not have Kurama's chakra inside him. The Yin-component of
Kurama's chakra, sealed by Minato, is still inside the Shinigami's stomach.
Shiki Fuujin does not seal the target's soul into the summoner's soul. They
are both sealed together, but independently, in the Shinigami's stomach.

This can be confirmed since Orochimaru first recovered the soul of his arms
and then the four previous Kage at once. If the Shiki Fuujin sealed the
target's soul into the summoner's soul, he would have to first recover
Hiruzen's soul, and then the souls of Hashirama, Tobirama and his arms from
Hiruzen's soul.~~

Minato _does_ seem to have Kurama's Yin part inside of him. As proven by the
recent chapters. Which undoubtedly proves that he's much stronger compared to
the way he was before his death.

**Note** : This answer is based on events seen till Chapter 623. The answer
may become obsolete after subsequent chapters.
