TSSITWON Chapter 93: The Mystery of the Namikaze Name 2
🕑 Added 2024-11-13 12:53:14 +0000 UTCIn the world of Naruto, most family names have a history or origins that can be traced. The Uchiha Clan, the Hyuga Clan, the Senju Clan—these names immediately indicate a famous lineage. Even less popular names, like Haruno from Sakura Haruno, or even Lee from Rock Lee, are questioned but still hold their own meaning and connection to the origins of a particular family or clan. However, Namikaze remains a mystery.
Aoki tried to stay calm, but he couldn't suppress the growing curiosity pressing on him. ‘Kurisu Namikaze… is this just a coincidence, or could this be some kind of clue about a broader lineage? Or perhaps this is just a parallel world with similar names?’ Aoki thought intensely, gazing at Kurisu with an interest that was hard to hide.
In this world, there is one figure with a mysterious identity: Minato Namikaze, the father of the main character. The name "Namikaze" raises more questions than answers. Is this the name of a great clan that has long since vanished, or does it come from an ancient noble family that has been forgotten? To this day, even prominent shinobi do not know the origins of the name, making it a subject of speculation and theory among fans.
Even in Aoki's previous life, he had read crazy theories and speculations about this name. There were two theories that Aoki encountered most often while browsing the internet, each providing a different picture of the possible origins of Minato.
The first theory states that "Namikaze" is the name of a clan that actually has a long history in the shinobi world. Allegedly, this clan was known for its expertise in space-time jutsu and possessed remarkable intelligence and kindness. It is also said that they were rivals of the Uchiha Clan in terms of prestige and power.
According to this theory, the Namikaze clan once stood alongside great clans like Senju and Uchiha but was destroyed by Madara Uchiha when Madara attempted to seize the Kyuubi. Minato, according to this theory, was the only surviving member of the Namikaze clan.
However, for Aoki, this theory has many weaknesses and feels like nonsense. First, there is a discrepancy in terms of age. Based on the story in the manga and anime, Minato was likely only around four to six years old when Mito Uzumaki, the wife of Hashirama Senju, was already old.
While Madara was still young in Hashirama's era, and Mito had become the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi before Minato was born, it would have been impossible for Madara to destroy the Namikaze clan at that time if Minato was still very young. If this theory were true, Minato should currently be much older, around thirty-five or even more, whereas in reality, Minato was only about nineteen or in his early twenties.
Aoki dismissed this first theory from his mind due to its illogical nature. But the second theory sounded a bit more plausible, although it was not entirely satisfying.
According to the second theory, "Namikaze" may not be a clan name, but rather the name of a noble family. This family is said to have a strong lineage and was spread across various regions but ultimately became extinct due to certain conflicts or misfortunes that befell them.
There are no specific details about this family in the story, leaving their existence a mystery. Although this theory does not have much concrete evidence, Aoki finds it more reasonable compared to the first theory, which is overly dramatic and contradictory.
However, despite all these theories, there is one undeniable fact: Minato Namikaze is a genius. From the Ninja Academy to becoming the Fourth Hokage, the name Minato resonates due to his extraordinary intelligence, unmatched speed, and genuine kindness.
