Minato Namikaze was an orphaned ninja who became the pupil of Jiraiya after graduating from the village academy, later becoming the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure. A veteran of the Third Great Shinobi War, Minato was feared on the battlefield for his skill and lethality. His power was so great, that enemy village Iwagakure issued a flee-on-sight order in regards to him. He is considered to be the most talented and powerful shinobi ever to have lived in Konoha.
