Minato Namikaze

Minato Namikaze also known as the Fourth Hokage is the father of Naruto who became infamous in his own right.

He is one of the husbands of Luna Ordeis and by extensions one of the fathers of Adam Ordeis.

## Appearance

Minato has frequently been compared with Naruto in terms of physical appearance; both have blue eyes and spiky, blond hair.

Minato also had jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face.

According to Jiraiya, Minato was considered to be very handsome.

His normal attire consisted of a standard Konoha uniform with two bands on both of his sleeves, a green flak jacket, blue forehead protector, and blue sandals.

After becoming Hokage, he started wearing a short-sleeved long white haori over his normal attire, closed in the front by a thin, orange rope.

The haori was decorated by red flame-like motifs on the edges, with the kanji for "Fourth Hokage" written vertically down the back.

During his time in the Academy, he wore a simple white suit of clothing with green trimmings and a hood.

After becoming a full-fledged Shinobi, he wore a tracksuit with three stripes on the sleeves, mesh under-armour, a pair of black pants, and sandals.

## Personality

Despite his physical resemblance to Naruto, Minato was a very humble and collected man.

Very perceptive and shrewd, he was noted as not to do something without a reason.

He was well-aware of the terror his reputation inspired in rival villages and would take advantage of it at times, but even then he would remain respectful to opponents.

Minato also wouldn't pry into other people's personal affairs unless he felt it was necessary, and was not the type to hold grudges, only feeling sorry for Obito despite his role in his own and Kushina's deaths.

If anything, Minato blames himself for his death for several reasons; he couldn't save Obito from the fate that corrupted him, Konoha from the difficulties that arose after he was gone, and even his own son Naruto from the painful and difficult life he suffered as a jinchūriki orphan.

Naruto is not without any of his father's personality traits: both have indomitable spirits and fierce ambitions that drive them through all their choices in life.

Both are of unwavering loyalty to Konoha and their loved ones – friends and family – and that devotion inspires all those around them.

Like Naruto, Minato had the tendency to create questionable techniques, although in Minato's case it was complicated names he came up with rather than the actual technique.

This was seen when he named the "Scorch Release: Halo Hurricane Jet Black Arrow Style Zero", though afterwards he admitted it didn't sound very good.

After becoming Hokage, Minato started to take more pride in himself, referring to himself as "ore", which is a prideful way of saying "I" or "me", instead of using "watashi", a more formal way of referring to one's self. Still, this did not make him haughty as he still addressed others with the appropriate honourifics.

## Chakra, Skills & Abilities

Minato was one of the most powerful shinobi in history, considered by many as unmatched by anyone else.

During the Third Shinobi World War, flee-on-sight orders were given to enemy shinobi should they encounter him.

In the anime, he was able to single-handedly wipe out an army of one thousand Iwagakure shinobi — a feat that forced Ōnoki to accept a peace treaty.

During the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, it was only through Minato's actions that Tobi and the fox were defeated and the village was saved from destruction.

Over a decade later, with the looming threat of Orochimaru approaching, Minato was believed to be the only one who could have stopped the Sannin, making his death deeply regretted.

Minato's fighting style revolved mainly around suddenly appearing and just as quickly taking down enemies, often excluded traditional time-consuming methods such as hand seals.
