It's all about love, folks! (Minato Manga)

My reaction of the Naruto Gaiden - Whirlwind in the Vortex.

When was the last time we've got a story written and drawn by Masashi Kishimoto? Naruto Gaiden in... 2015!! Needless to say that I was highly anticipating this one shot, not that I'm a big fan of Minato (rather neutral) but I'm wondering if Kishimoto still got the guts... ~wink wink if you know, you know😉~ in 2023.

And I was happily surprised! First of all, he trolls us a little bit, this Minato Namikaze's story is in reality a Kushina Uzumaki's story. Naruto's favourite jutsu, the rasengan is strongly connected to his parent's life. Secondly Kishimoto, notoriously-known-for-not-dealing-well-with-female-characters, wrote a proper shojo, in the noble sense of the term. And you know what? It's very good! It's a true love story between Minato and Kushina and this since their young age. The drawing is just beautiful, the writing emotional and poised, Kishimoto's style is intact, The Naruto universe is still there. Why did he let us rotten with the ugly Boruto instead? I don't know but I divert...😭

For my Founders enthusiasts, we can now confirm what we already knew bc we actually read the manga Naruto and Minato one shot rather than fanfiction: Mito and Hashirama was not a loveless arrange marriage as it is spread by a baseless urban legend. Hashirama loved Mito and Mito loved Hashirama. Their romance is not only canon but essential to the storyline. Jinchuuriki needs to be loved and support in order to keep control of the Bijuu, Gaara is a perfect example. Without her husband's love, Mito wouldn't have had the strength to keep the Kyuubi inside her. Kushina&Minato are mirroring Mito&Hashirama. Both Uzumaki, both jinchuriki, both in a deep love bond with an exceptionally powerful shinobi, and future hokage.

Naruto was able to keep the demon inside him for so long, first because he only possess half of the true kyubi's form, then thanks to the love of his parents (Minato and Kushina appeared 2 times to protect his seal), later by the fatherly love of Iruka-sensei, then the team 7 Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke and of course all his friends in Konoha and beyond.

That was my first impression and it's globally positive. I'll probably talk more about this Minato's story, we got many information about the Uzumaki clan...but later in a podcast, so stay tuned!

Minato manga panel colouring and Kushina

I wasn't a huge fan of the Minato manga. The guy bored me to death before and continues to do so after. I'll stick to angsty characters with darkness, thank you.

Also, it blatantly sugar-coats the elephant in the room which is human trafficking for the sake of sealing a WMD in a non-consenting child who is thereby condemned to death because when a Jinchuriki is on their death bed, the Bijuu must be transferred to the next sacrifice if the village wants to keep it, but extraction kills the host, so Kushina was trafficked to Konoha to be their weapon and executed when her life looks like it's ending. And in typical Kishimoto fashion, the woman is a-okay with the horrid life she is forced into (this isn't "circumstances" or "bad luck", Konoha made this happen in its hunger for power) just so long as she can pine after a man. I'd probably kms (at least I hope I would) if I were to be reincarnated into the Narutoverse as a woman.

Kishimoto writing the Minato oneshot like:

He’s just adding more fuel to the anti shinobi system pyre at this point.
