Minato Profile Review

Minato Namikaze was the Fourth Hokage. He had a son, Naruto Uzumaki, with Kushina Uzumaki, whom they decided to name after the main character in one of Jiraiya's books. Soon after Naruto's birth Minato sealed the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox into Naruto's body. Doing so cost him his life. Before he died, he asked that the villagers of Konoha not to see Naruto for the monster within him but as a hero who saved the village, a request that was ignored by most. It is unclear as to whether Naruto is aware of his relationship with Minato, although the two share a number of traits that are often pointed out throughout the series.
Prior to becoming Hokage, Minato was the sensei of Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin. Before he became Hokage, Minato was taught by Master Jiraiya.

Minato Abilities

Minato's talent as a ninja was a rarity in Konoha, such that he is referred to as the greatest shinobi the village has ever produced. During the Third Ninja World War, flee-on-sight orders were given to enemy ninja by their superiors due to Minato's ability to kill a large number of them instantaneously. He had such great speed that he earned the nickname, "Konoha's Yellow Flash". This is a result of his Flying Thunder God Technique, which allowed him to teleport anywhere without notice by the use of a special seal. He also created the Rasengan, an incomplete technique he had intended to infuse with his own chakra nature. He was unable to do so prior to his death, yet Naruto is able to accomplish this feat in later years.
