Excitement among fans is building as the release of the long-awaited Minato one-shot manga is just a week away. Since the announcement, fans have eagerly anticipated this focused story on the beloved character, the 4th Hokage of Konoha. Adding to the excitement is Kishimoto's return after a significant absence. While Naruto has continued with Kishimoto's involvement in the Boruto series, it hasn't quite captured the same magic. However, with the upcoming Minato one-shot, fans can expect the original series' charm to resurface, marking Kishimoto's return after an impressive hiatus of nearly 8 years.
A Look Into The Life Of Young Minato
The Minato one shot has sparked anticipation among fans, who have been curious about whether it would delve into the Fourth Hokage's life or a time before that. With the reveal of the Key Art, it has now been confirmed that the one shot will center around Minato's journey prior to becoming the Fourth Hokage. This offers fans a glimpse into the younger version of Minato, filled with potential and natural talent, possibly under the mentorship of Jiraiya.
Although it is uncertain whether Minato had achieved the rank of Jonin at this stage, his impressive shinobi abilities would undoubtedly captivate fans. They can expect to witness his training and endeavors to grow stronger. As he is not yet the Hokage, there is a possibility for fans to discover Minato's aspirations and his unwavering passion to turn them into reality. The Minato One Shot is expected to heavily delve into his relentless pursuit of becoming the Fourth Hokage.
One fascinating aspect of the Minato one-shot story is the exploration of his ninja team, which presents two possibilities. If Minato is not already a Jonin in this manga, he will be part of a team led by Jiraiya. This collaboration between Minato and Jiraiya promises to be a remarkable sight for fans. Additionally, fans will have the chance to learn more about Minato's other two teammates, whom they briefly caught a glimpse of in Auto but were left with unanswered questions. This provides an excellent opportunity for Kishimoto to introduce them to the fans.
However, if Minato is already a Jonin at this point, he may not have the opportunity to reunite with his former teammates. Nevertheless, fans will be treated to seeing Minato engaging in different missions. It is well-known that Minato has a remarkable record of completing numerous missions in Konoha, including several S Rank missions. If Minato is already a Jonin, fans might witness him embarking on one of these perilous missions, further solidifying his reputation as one of the most powerful ninjas in history. Regardless of the direction the story takes, fans can expect to witness the immense talent of Minato Namikaze.
The Creation Of His Jutsu
The manga will center on Minato's jutsu creation, which has been hinted at previously. Fans are aware of Minato's brilliance as a ninja and his access to numerous powerful jutsu. Given his genius, inventing new jutsu should have been effortless for him. Throughout his life, it is likely that Minato created a significant number of jutsu, many of which fans have yet to witness. However, a few have become iconic in the Naruto universe. One notable example is Minato's mastery and enhancement of Tobirama's Flying Raijin technique. While the story may explore this particular jutsu, it is important to note that Minato did not originally create it.
The chances of the story centering on the Flying Raijin are slim compared to another powerful technique that Minato created on his own, known as the Rasengan. By studying a Tailed Beast Ball, Minato developed the Rasengan, although the details surrounding this event remain unknown to fans. What is known is that it took Minato three years to perfect the Rasengan, which is considered the pinnacle of shape transformation and Chakra control.
This dangerous jutsu became Minato's signature move, allowing him to swiftly end fights. If the Naruto Gaiden: Minato One-Shot focuses on the Rasengan's creation, fans will witness Minato's struggle to achieve this remarkable accomplishment and understand why it attained legendary status in the Naruto world.
Minato And Kushina
Fans also know that the Rasengan is not a complete jutsu, as Minato originally intended it to serve as the foundation for his ultimate technique. His plan was to incorporate nature transformation into the Rasengan, effectively completing it. Unfortunately, Minato's untimely demise prevented him from accomplishing this feat. It was Naruto who eventually accomplished what Minato had envisioned, but fans may still wonder if Minato would have attempted to combine nature transformation with the Rasengan had he lived.
The Minato one shot will primarily revolve around Minato Namikaze, as expected. However, it may also shed light on beloved side characters from Naruto. Jiraiya is one such character who might make an appearance in this one shot. Moreover, there's a possibility of Kushina Uzumaki, Minato's wife, making an entrance into the story.
Fans have had limited exposure to Kushina throughout the story, often seeing her only in relation to Minato. Given the heavy focus on Minato Namikaze, fans may be eager to see him paired up with Kushina, whether it be on a mission together or discussing the secrets of his jutsu. It's important to note that Minato learned a great deal from Kushina, as she was a member of the Uzumaki Clan and possessed extensive knowledge of sealing techniques, which she eventually passed down to him.
This is another aspect that could be explored in the upcoming one-shot. However, the challenge lies in the limited length of the one-shot, which spans only 55 pages. Kishimoto will need to carefully plan the structure of the one-shot in order to satisfy fan expectations. Regardless, the fact that Naruto is returning once again makes this story incredibly exciting.
Fans have eagerly anticipated Kishimoto's return, hoping it will pave the way for future one-shots featuring other characters from the Naruto universe. There is immense untapped potential that Kishimoto can explore, and it is hoped that he will continue to do so in the future.
The chapter titled Naruto Gaiden: Uzu no Naka no Tsumujikaze will be available for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus app on July 17, 2023.
