You know, I’ve covered plenty of scenarios when doing these whatifs. I’ve covered similar topics, such as if Naruto were born with the Sharingan. But I’ve not often changed much about Minato. Nine times out of ten, I tend to leave both he and his fate alone, as these things are instrumental into bringing the story into any semblance of what it would have been. Without Minato’s sacrifice, so many things would be different in the series if even a single thing had been changed. Minato is one of many things that I like to call a “Crux of Naruto”. He is a point of absolute interest, and while I tend to not mess with him much, it is simply because of his status as a Crux. If we change anything about him, so much within the series can change, from Naruto’s powerset down to how Naruto himself will behave. Naruto is a character with a very specific personality and power set, one that seems tailored by fate (Or should we say Kishimoto) to specifically be what every situation needs. Without his kindness and understanding, Talknojutstu would be impossible. Without his desire to never give up, he never would have brought Sasuke back from darkness. Hell, Minato is such an important character that, with his actions, he could possibly stop Sasuke’s downfall by stopping his reason. In the few times I have changed Minato’s story, you can see that his mere presence can stop the Uchiha Massacre. Minato has so much potential in storytelling, and that is why today I would like to specifically alter this Crux of Naruto to see what may happen. How will I do this you may ask? It is really a simple change. Minato Namikaze is a character shrouded in mystery. One of the most mysterious things about him is his lineage. Despite being the Fourth Hokage, we know absolutely nothing about where he comes from. His clan name is Namikaze, but despite his fame in being one of the best, if not the most short lived Hokage, we have never once heard about this clan. Possibly it is a small clan consisting of only himself? A clan name he forged on his own? Perhaps it is a name of a clan that was wiped out and left without record? The possibilities are endless. But whatever they were, they were the reason he turned out as he did. And that is EXACTLY what I want to change. The Namikaze Clan, despite giving birth to the legendary Yellow Flash of the Leaf, have continued in seclusion for some time. So what if we give Minato a new clan? A more prestigious clan? Something that increases his potential by many times? What if we make Minato an Uchiha? Yes, this clan is over used, but that is only because they are the most badass clan in all of Naruto. Most of the best and most legendary warriors come from this clan. Sasuke, Itachi, Madara. I’m sure the list goes on, but I don’t feel like listing off everyone, nor do we have time for that. I’m sure you’re ready to dive deep into this story, and trust me, we’re getting to it. But first…
