Naruto: Flash of the Ninja World

Whenever the theme from Naruto Shippuden the Movie: The Lost Tower echoes in memory, it raises a haunting question: what if the tragedy of sixteen years ago had never happened? If that single night had not taken everything away, how different would Naruto’s childhood have been—and how differently might the entire story of the ninja world have unfolded? After the forbidden technique Dead Demon Consuming Seal is used, the soul of the Fourth Hokage transcends the boundaries of time and space. Drawn back more than a decade into the past, fate grants him another chance to walk the path he once traveled. When he sees the red-haired girl again—the girl whose existence would one day be intertwined with his own—destiny itself begins to shift. This is the story of the Fourth Hokage reborn. The legendary Minato Namikaze, once known throughout the ninja world as the Golden Flash of Konoha, is given the opportunity to start over. Returning to the years before the tragedies that shaped the future, he begins a new journey—one that may change everything that once seemed inevitable. Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, makes a solemn vow: “In the name of the Hokage, protecting the family and comrades of the village is the duty I must fulfill now!” Bearing the name of the Flash, he will once again blaze across the ninja world. His golden speed will shake the Five Great Nations, cut through every shadow, and sever the darkness lurking behind the shinobi world.
