It's a little detail that's easy to miss. The nine-tails had been rampaging for a while and the ninjas had been fighting it long enough to drive it out of the village perimeter.

When the nine-tails charged up a bijuudama (that ended up being taken care of by the 4th), Sarutobi said "again?" while slumping which implies the nine-tails had fired off at least one more during the time Minato hadn't arrived at the village yet.

I thought this was a neat bit of flavor in that sequence. Of course, this was only about 9 years before the start of Naruto.
