Namikaze legend

Chapter 1: Twists

Yo everyone what's up,this is a new fanfiction inspired by a story I read a while ago, hope you like it and enjoy

The third great ninja war had just ended. No one was really certain how the war had started but it didn't matter. At the end of the war Konoha emerged victorious but not without a price. Countless shinobi died in the war, while many were injured. It was not just Konoha, every village, countries had suffered. Whether it was Rain, Sand, Rock, or any other village, the end result was people lost their precious ones.

In one corner of Red Dragon restaurant, sat a lonely figure. It was night time in Konoha and people were busy with their lives, some were still mourning the loss of their loved ones while others were trying to get over their grief. Overall it was a gloomy atmosphere in the village hidden in the leaves.

The figure sitting in the restaurant was none other than, Minato Namikaze. He was the newly appointed fourth Hokage of Konoha.

Minato's story was quite eventual. He was born in the Namikaze clan, the clan was a very small clan in Konoha and were not quite famous. His parents were shinobi of the village who gave their lives in the Second Great Ninja war.

As a result Minato never got to spend much time with them, time passed and Minato resolved himself to become a shinobi and protect the village just like his parents would have wanted him too.

His dream was to become Hokage someday, his life passed and he made many friends. But his closest friends were his classmates Mikoto Uchiha and Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina was his best friend since childhood, at first they didn't get along much because of her loud personality but Minato saved her from Kumo shinobi and from there on they became good friends.

But the most important person in Minato's life was Mikoto Uchiha.

He loved Mikoto from the bottom of his heart, she was one of the best students in his class. She was the heiress of the Uchiha clan and as such was a formidable shinobi who excelled in many ninja arts.

He could still remember the day when he met Mikoto.

(Flashback : 10 years ago)

A blonde boy could be seen practicing throwing kunai in the training area of the acadmey of the village. It was already very late but it didn't matter to the boy.

Ever since his parent's death, Minato had resolved himself to become a strong shinobi. He was a good student, he was quite good in ninjutsu and Taijutsu. One of his unique traits was he was skilled in Fuinjutsu, which didn't go unnoticed by the third Hokage of Konoha who was taking special interest in training Minato in Fuinjutsu.

Minato's friend Kushina Uzumaki was also helping him in learning that art.

However there was one thing in which he didn't have much skill and that was Shurikenjutsu. He was pretty much average in that art and as such wanted to improve himself.

He had been practicing since the past 1 hour but was not getting much results.

"Try to loosen your hands and calm yourself down." said a soft female voice.
