Minato Namikaze is Naruto’s Father. He was the fourth Hokage of Konohagakure. In the attack of the Nine-tailed Fox (the legendary beast), Minato sacrificed himself to protect the village and sealed the nine tailed-fox in Naruto by splitting it into two. Thus, Minato was the worldwide famous Ninja known as ‘The Yellow Flash of Konoha.’
His specialty was Flying Raijin, also known as teleportation Jutsu. In the entire series of Naruto, we witnessed that his speed was unmatchable. Unlike Naruto, Minato was smart and calculative when fighting the opponents. He was considered the prodigy of his generation. Jiraiya even thought that maybe Minato is the ‘Child of Prophecy.’
