He was once the “Yellow Flash” who protected Konoha, but fell at the height of his glory, leaving behind a shattered family and a son destined for loneliness.
When the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, returns from the land of the dead, he is shocked to find himself back before the tragedy. This time, he sees not only the disasters yet to come, but also the strength hidden deep in his wife’s eyes, which he once overlooked, and every ounce of suffering his son will have to endure.
So the first thing he does after being reborn is head to the Hokage’s office. To everyone’s astonishment, he calmly makes a request:
“Third Hokage, I’d like to extend my parental leave. This time, I want to learn how to be a father first.”
The shadow of the Nine-Tails’ night is still drawing near, while the Sharingan in the darkness and an ancient conspiracy stir into action. But this time, Minato will wield his blade to protect the warmth of home. With the Flying Thunder God Technique and the wisdom of a man who knows what is coming, he will lay a vast web of traps in the darkness. With a father’s resolve and a Hokage’s sense of duty, he will rebuild trust and mend the rifts.
When that night finally arrives, he will hold his young son in one arm and form hand seals to face his enemy with the other. Facing his former student emerging from the space-time continuum, his gaze is as calm as a deep pool:
“Welcome back, Obito. But your teacher’s game ends here.”
It's a long story, one chapter a day
