Naruto

Minato Namikaze, often referred to as the "Yellow Flash of the Leaf," was the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure. Known for his exceptional speed and mastery of space-time ninjutsu, he was a prodigy graduating from the Academy at a young age.

He was a student of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, and later became the leader of his own team, which included Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara. He developed the Rasengan, a powerful, swirling chakra sphere, though he was unable to combine it with his own nature transformation.

During the Third Shinobi World War, his speed and strategic brilliance turned the tide of many battles, earning him his famous moniker. He married Kushina Uzumaki, a Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Minato sacrificed his life to protect Konoha from the Nine-Tailed Fox's attack, sealing half of the beast's chakra within himself and the other half within his newborn son, Naruto. His legacy lived on through Naruto, who would ultimately follow in his father's footsteps.
