(波風ミナト, Namikaze Minato)
Child of the Prophecy (予言の子, Yogen no Ko)
Saviour of this World (この世の救世主, Kono Yo no Kyūseishu)
Konoha's Yellow Flash (木ノ葉の黄色い閃光, Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō)
Fourth Hokage (四代目火影, Yondaime Hokage)
Why would kishi build this character to this standard to have him equal or less than itachi (weasal when translated to english ) symbol for troubling times .
Think long and hard about it all the questions that could be brought up susanoo etc
can be countered :
how did hashirama break them as far as we've seen he has trees and rumors and i doubt any uchiha could beat him in fact im sure of it ,
I dont know if you've realized it but uchihas are preceived as the bad guys in this series no matter their sad story etc .
And the senju have the will of fire etc are good ...
Madara already set the trend of failure by losing to hashirama , can anyone tell me a fight that an uchiha wins by himself ?
And here's another opinion of mine itachi is merely a brother figure that cause hurt for naruto to heal in sasuke
Agree or disagree , doesn't matter alot is truth, some common sense , none false
NB: kishi has berely shown us yondaime hokage in the series i think he appears 4 - 6 times and he is already considered this strong , imagine if he had itachi's screen time ...smh ... there would be no debate
This is not hate and not an attempt to flame i was reading through the characters and came across this. Have a good day i got to study
More info :
According to Jiraiya, Minato was one of the most gifted shinobi who ever lived.[10] His abilities were so far advanced that even the Fourth Raikage thought that no one would be able to surpass him.[5] Anko Mitarashi, in discussion with the Third Hokage about Orochimaru's immense strength and his threat to the village, stated that she wished the Fourth had been alive to face him. At a young age, he was able to single handedly rescue Kushina from three Kumogakure ninja.[11] During the Third Shinobi World War, flee-on-sight orders were given to enemy shinobi should they ever see him appear on the battlefield.[12] Minato was also capable of counteracting the Nine-Tails' attacks to the point that Tobi found it necessary to intervene and stop Minato directly. After their battle, Tobi was forced to retreat due to being severely injured by Minato. He even complimented Minato and stated he was worthy of his title as Fourth Hokage.[13]
Like Tobirama Senju, Minato could detect the presence of people within an area by simply placing his finger on the ground.[14] Minato's fighting style often excluded time consuming hand seals that give enemies an opening so he often relies on his two original techniques: the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan.
Taijutsu Edit
Minato saving Kakashi.
One of Minato's trademark attributes was his immense speed and instantaneous reflexes, able to react fast enough to catch an infant Naruto mid-fall to prevent him from being stabbed by Tobi.[15] This attribute earned him the moniker of "Konoha's Yellow Flash". He could also respond to Tobi's Space–Time Migration technique quickly enough to escape it.[16] He is often referred to throughout the series as the fastest shinobi who ever lived, with the speed of the currently fastest living shinobi often being compared to his own, such as A or Naruto in his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, with the former admitting that even with his Lightning Release Armour enhancing his speed and reflexes was still outmatched by Minato.[5] Even when assisted by his brother, A was unable to lay a hand on Minato. When fighting, he mainly employed the use of his unique kunai, wielding them proficiently and taking advantage of their particular form, which made them even more suitable for close range combat than standard kunai. Using this type of kunai, he was able to nearly sever one of the Eight-Tails' tentacles when B moved to save his brother from Minato's counter-attack despite having nearly no leverage,
