Minato Namikaze (4th Hokage)

Minato Namikaze, also known as Yellow Flash of the Leaf, was the Fourth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. According to those who knew him personally, Minato was a very talented ninja prodigy - a rare genius that appears only once in a generation. He graduated from the Academy at the age of ten, and was added to a genin team under the tutelage of Jiraiya, who took a special interest in Minato, and accepted him as an apprentice, amongst other things teaching him the Summoning Technique. He even believed Minato might be the Child of the Prophecy, someone who would someday save the world.

Minato was famous for his unique space-time technique, the Flying Raijin Jutsu , which essentially allowed him to teleport to any location with untraceable movements Minato had through the use of special seals. By throwing kunai that had the seal attached to them behind enemy lines, Minato could wipe out an entire platoon in the blink of an eye. Minato could teleport to his special kunai even as it travelled through the air. He was also capable of applying the seal to solid surfaces with his bare hand, allowing him to tag opponents and give himself an easy way to track and reach them.
