❛ What are you smiling at? ❜

The Fourth Hokage was walking down the main street of Konoha, when he spotted the Yamanaka's flower shop. This made him think of his wife, and how hard she has been working as of late. Perhaps he could do something for Kushina? Would she appreciate the gesture? He thought to himself, 'Hmm.. Maybe she would like some flowers.' Then waltz right on in. The door swung open, and the little bell rang to alert the worker that a customer had entered the store. Seeing a familiar face, he couldn't help but smile... also a bit embarrassed. "Well you see I... was thinking of buying some flowers for... err... You know." It can be a bit embarrassing when people you know witnesses you trying to be... a romantic. He quickly cleared his throat, "So... what do you recommend?"

@yellow-flasher (You have been chosen as my entertainment this evening.)

Sitting upon a dilapidated stump of tree a figure watched the horizon. Sun setting over mountains and Konohagakure. Upon his back lay his Gunbai and scythe. Armored in traditional shinobi plates of a deep maroon. Ebony eyes of immeasurable hate lay half lidded in a serene face.

Standing, the male began to walk forward. Failing light revealing the Uchiha crest upon his back, hardly visible behind the hilt of his Gunbai. A long mane of pitch as night hair framed the face that held a wrathful might. "It’s about time I raze this village to the ground."

What Minato said:

What he really means: Gathering sage chakra takes too much time. I’d rather speed blitz my enemies. It was good training though.

Considering Minato’s fighting style, Senjutsu was never actually needed. Hardly anyone would warrant enough danger for him to NEED the massive boost from Sage mode as he was the fastest and smartest Shinobi around. He had the highest scores in the Chunin exams, even answering the hard questions on the written test without cheating at all. He was a book nerd who studied during his free time, learning new things.

According to the manga, chakra is composed of the combination of physical and mental energy. Exercising both can increase your chakra reserves to an extent. Hence Minato had plenty of chakra. Enough to be able to become a perfect Sage. And according to the lore, high chakra reserves are required so that nature energy doesn’t overpower your chakra, turning you into an ugly toad creature and eventually stone.

Besides, if Minato really wanted a drawn out battle with sage mode, he could fuse with Fukasaku and Shima as they could gather nature energy for him as well as dish out that awesome sound based genjutsu as they did for Jiraiya. Hell, Kurama gathers sage chakra for Naruto. So even Edo Minato with half Kurama could have gathered the sage chakra for him hence he whipped it out of nowhere.

Minato was simply being humble when he depreciates himself. He is a dork and does that out of respect as he doesn’t view himself as some top tier ninja. He knows his own faults and his shortcomings. He has regrets. And so he couldn’t bare to boast about himself. Heck, he doesn’t have to when his reputation does it for him.

People believe this to be an asspull, which could be seen as one since we had no indication before that he had Sage mode by the toads or Jiraiya. But considering who he is, it’s safe to assume he had the capacity to learn it.

I’m back from hiatus! Sort of. I’ll drop in from time to time, but don’t be afraid to say hello. I’m stuck on mobile though, so don’t expect too much. ^^”

Minato Respecc

Minato Namikaze has large chakra reserves despite what people believe about him.

He had enough chakra to do the following on his death day:

Hiraishin'd a bijuu bomb

Summoned Gamabunta to drop down on Kurama.

Hiraishin'd Kurama away with himself.

Hiraishin and Body Flickered a lot.

Contract seal

Reaper Death Seal on half of Kurama's chakra plus some of his and Kushina’s inside Naruto.

It takes a lot of chakra to seal that much chakra. Remember it’s half of Kurama’s chakra. After Hiruzen’s battle with Orochimaru and the first two Hokages, he only had enough chakra to seal Orochimaru’s arms. Which proves Reaper Death Seal costs tons of chakra to use depending on the amount of chakra you have and what you’re trying to seal.

Hiraishin also takes a lot of chakra to use because it requires three Jonin ninja to be able to replicate it. High level space-time ninjutsu requires a lot of chakra to pull off.

He perfected sage mode, which to even learn sage mode requires large chakra reserves.

If your reserves are too small then you turn into a toad because nature chakra starts to overwhelm you.

Eyelids unveiled cerulean blue orbs as Minato woke up and after a small delay, could feel the pain of his injuries begin to seep it’s way in. With a pained expression forming on his fair features, the blonde slowly sat up, eliciting a soft yawn as he glanced around the empty room. The soft hum of the air vent could be heard, signaling that the air conditioning system was on. That would explain the goosebumps along his skin.

Minato then saw a bouquet of flowers beside his bed. With a little card attached to it. Minato reaches over with the arm that wasn’t covered completely in a cast, and read it. “You’re working working too hard! Take it easy and rest, Baka!” Minato laughed softly, though his ribs were sore. But he couldn’t help it. “That’s Kushina alright...” A knock was heard as Minato put the card back in place. ‘So, they noticed I was awake.’ Minato thought to himself, eyeing the camera attached the the ceiling in the corner of the room. “Come in.”

Expecting to see a nurse, but instead, in comes Jiraiya-Sensei. “So, you’re finally awake, eh Minato?” A smile curled his lips at the sight of his mentor. “How long was I out?” Jiraiya walked over to the side of the bed, crossing his arms over his chest. “This time? Two days.” Minato released a deep sigh, “I am close... I can feel it. Just a little more time and I—“

“I don’t doubt it, but you shouldn’t push yourself too hard. You’ll worry your friend.” He said, gesturing towards the flowers and card. Minato couldn’t help but blush a little. “Y-Yeah, I’ll have to apologize to her later... But I am nearly there, just need to sustain the chakra..” Jiraiya placed a hand on top of his head, gazing down at his student. “Well, I wouldn’t think you’d be the type to give up. Though, a little advice... You might want to work with a little less chakra or risk blowing your arm off.”

Swallowing a gulp, Minato gave a silent nod. Trying to contain chakra into a spherical shape mimicking the Tailed Beast Ball isn’t that easy... And neither is developing a brand new jutsu from scratch.

“Once you’ve recovered, I’ll help you develop it more.” Minato smiles brightly, “Thank you Sensei. Though I thought you said I needed to figure it out on my own...” Jiraiya gave a hearty laugh, as he knew full well he only said that so he could continue his ‘research’ undisturbed. “Yeah well, I’ve changed my mind. Better be grateful, Minato.” A small smile adorned the blonde’s lips, “I’ll look forward to it.” Jiraiya then began to walk out of the room. Before stopping right before he twist the doorknob. “What did you say your jutsu‘ Snake was?”

“Rasengan...” Jiraiya gave another hearty laugh. “Rasengan eh? Not bad. If it turns out as well as you hope, I might just add it to my arsenal.” And with that, Jiraiya Sensei left the room. Minato felt his determination skyrocket upon hearing his Sensei will be lending his help. “I’d hope so, Sensei..” He uttered softly to himself after he had gone.

‘A jutsu capable of being self sustaining. Once formed, no chakra is needed to maintain it. A rigorously spiraling ball of chakra capable of drilling into just about anything... Quite the idea huh..? I couldn’t have thought of it without you, Kushina...’
