He was once the "golden flash" that protected Konoha, but he died at the most dazzling moment, leaving behind a broken family and a son destined to be lonely.
When the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato returned from the land of the dead, he was shocked to find himself back before the tragedy happened. This time, what he saw was not only the disaster that had not yet happened, but also the strength hidden in his wife's eyes that he had ignored and every bit of pain his son would have to swallow in the future.
So, the first thing he did after his rebirth was to go to the Hokage's office and apply calmly while everyone looked at him in astonishment:
"Sandaime, I request to extend my maternity leave. This time, I want to learn how to be a father first."
The shadow of the Nine-Tailed Night is still approaching, and the Sharingan and the ancient conspiracy in the dark are ready to move. But Minato's sword will be wielded this time to protect the warmth by the fire. He will use the flying thunder god's technique and the wisdom of the prophet to set up a dragnet in the darkness; he will use his father's determination and the Hokage's responsibility to rebuild trust and heal the rift.
When that night comes to an end, he will hold his young son in his arms with one hand and form a seal with the other to face the enemy. Facing his old disciple who stepped out of time and space, his eyes were as calm as a deep pool:
"Welcome back, Obito. But the teacher's game ends here."
It's a long story, one chapter a day
