Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, was known as the "Yellow Flash" for his unparalleled speed and mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique. A genius shinobi, Minato developed the Rasengan and played a pivotal role in ending the Third Great Ninja War.

Minato's greatest legacy was his sacrifice during the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha. When the masked man (Obito) unleashed Kurama on the village, Minato fought valiantly, eventually sealing the beast into his newborn son, Naruto, using the Reaper Death Seal. This act cost him his life, but it ensured Konoha's survival and set Naruto on the path to becoming a hero.

As a mentor and leader, Minato was respected for his humility, intelligence, and unwavering dedication to his loved ones and the village. His legacy lived on through Naruto, who inherited his will and dream of peace.
