Naruto is one of the greatest anime of all time and is among the original Big Three of anime. The story is full of emotions and the audience was truly heartfelt when Minato Namikaze’s son, Naruto Uzumaki, fulfilled his dream of becoming the Hokage, even after being neglected throughout his childhood. One of the greatest things about this particular anime is that even though it is based on a character’s life, it does not neglect the other characters.
Every character has had a proper development and time so that the audience could share a mutual feeling. One of the greatest characters of the Naruto franchise is Minato Namikage, the fourth Hokage. He also happens to be the father of our beloved Seventh Hokage. Minato Namikaze was such a great character that he fulfilled the lifelong dream of the First Hokage, and the fans did not even realize it.
Minato Namizake’s Absolute Peace Achievement
Minato Namizake achieved absolute peace during his reign and fulfilled the dream of his predecessors. Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, belonged to the Senju Clan, one of the strongest clans in the Naruto franchise. He wished for an ideal world where there would be no wars or bloodshed. During his childhood, he saw absolute bloodshed and wanted peace to prevail all over.
Minato Namikaze singlehandedly killed a thousand shinobi forced the Hidden Cloud village to sign a peace treaty, and ended the Third Great Ninja War. During his encounter with A, the Fourth Raikage, he earned his respect even though they were enemies. The peace lasted for several years. There were no internal conflicts between the nations.
Even though he died three years after becoming Hokage, there was peace sustained throughout. If it were not for the evil motives of Madara Uchiha and his controlling Obito Uchiha, there would never be a Fourth Great Ninja War. But even during that time, all the nations joined hands against the greater evil. All thanks to Minato Namikaze.
What Was Hashirama Senju’s Dream In The Naruto Franchise?
Hashirama Senju was born during a time of conflict. Every clan fought with each other to gain the upper hand. The Senju clan had a great rivalry with the Uchiha clan. But over time, he and Madara Uchiha became friends and founded the Village Hidden in the Leaves. He joined several powerful clans, and thus peace was restored.
It was not the end. He divided the powers of the Tail-beasts among the great nations to maintain a power balance. But it later proved to be fatal. Hashirama Senju tried his whole life to maintain peace and wanted to see everyone thriving. The first Hokage would be proud of the fourth Hokage. But unfortunately, the audience never noticed it. It was quite late when they understood how important Minato Namikaze was.
Moreover, the Naruto franchise showed very little of Minato Namikaze. It was only during the Pain Assault arc as a flashback and when he was reanimated during the Fourth Great Ninja War. But within that little time, he had a great impact and managed to uphold the dreams of his predecessors. Even his son, Naruto Uzumaki, followed in his footsteps.
