When the Great Toad Sage reverse summoned Naruto, he signed something about a key and I don’t understand what just happened.

What did he do? Did he keep back the Nine Tails or what? No spoilers please.

That scroll was not a contract but rather, the key to the Fourth Hokage's seal.

In Chapter 489, Gamatora reveals it after Naruto's inquiry. To quote,

The key that locks and unlocks the Fourth Hokage's Sealing Jutsu that's on yer belly! With this, ya could even let Nine Tails out to run free.

Naruto accepting it means he now has control of the Fourth Hokage's Sealing Jutsu via the key.

  • I apologize if I do not consider this as a major spoiler. Besides, this should have already been revealed on that same episode. You either just missed this, you had faulty subtitles or the anime adapted this particular chapter differently. – W. Are Jan 08 '20 at 11:25
