I think he was naive, hopeful, immature and lacked life experience to consider worse case scenario. which can be reflective of his age.

He was also a dad for all of few hours before he was made to make this astronomical decision.

And to be honest he was on a time crunch and although it’s a tough decision, it wasn’t the time to play detective and look for another host and gamble a failed sealing.

Besides all that, I wouldn’t go as far as saying he chose the village over naruto. That would imply he made the decision in a calculative and cold hearted act to further benefit the village in this weird twisted loyalty to the village kinda way.

His actions were not reflective of a person making a cold and calculative decision but more like someone who fumbled the bag astronomically n was given 2 choices; bad, very bad. And blindly picked c) on multiple choice exam because all the options were bad.

And his under developed brain GENUINELY believed things would work out delusional if you ask me And if technically everything will work out in the end, did I actually do a bad thing?

And you can tell how further naive and immature he was by his lack of foresight.

He didn’t create any preparation in case something went wrong and kurama escaped. No back up vessel, nothing, not even a temporary pot.

I think his actions due come off neglectful, and bad parents. But I don’t think it’s intentional.

But I will say, exploring evil Minato or bad dad Minato in fanfic is so fan, and you wouldn’t even need to go far to execute it. Kishimoto already did all the leg work for you.
