I should have published this first before BMP.)

Chapter 1 : Revival
Namikaze Minato was a rising star in politics, though not a politician yet but bound to be neophite after counting of votes get done.
Born in a rich clan who took a role in Meji Restoration and key aspects of Japanese History after, he used his family's resources wisely to help his motherland and fellow Japanese to rise up from their problems in their life and troubles within and outside Land of Rising Sun. The example of that was his clan's sponsorship in rehabilitating hikikomori back to society, serving as key peace diplomat, key speaker and huge donor to his country's past WW2 victims which restored honor and creating friendly relations, and sponsoring of donations to any countries who were struck with calamities and rising them up from economic poverty which made them a fairly to do country today.
Outside politics, he's a family man, happily married to Uzumaki Kushina, his childhood sweetheart and related to the CEO of famous Uzumaki Group. Through her, he learned every things including kendo when they were young. When he first tried kendo during his youth, he suddenly showed signs of being a natural at it and many, mostly his kouhai and senpai, who he fought, were downed from his natural talent. His father, Namikaze Koujiro saw it. And together with his younger brother, Namikaze Shin, who would become known as Namikaze-Senju Shin in later years, they were trained and taught Senju-Namikaze Clan Kenjutsu Style(Senju-Namikaze Clan Swordsmanship Style, samurai heritage) in which they incorporated to their personal was well until news of his beloved Kushina-chan died giving birth to their son, Namikaze Naruto, reached him.
He cried that night as he was left with his Kushina's only memory, their own son. That was however the start of his grief. His younger brother died in airplane crash five years later, leaving his father raise 4-year old Shiro in ways of their clan in which Minato himself would teach every time his father isn't around.
Two years after his brother's death, he made friends with his new neighbors, the Mochizuki family with a black haired boy same age as Naruto who played with together with 6 year old Shiro and 8 year old Nagato Uzumaki, son of Kushina's older sister. Four of them were close, found practicing kendo and playing together. The not yet politician that time but bound to be one, one year later after official results were out, spend time with his neighbors so much not only for the sake of his getting new friends but for the sake of them. During the conversation, he discovered the husband is a well-known mangaka(manga artist/manga author) while the wife is a picture book artist(1). Well he loved manga, anime, manga and games in his youth(yet his passion is still there) so he asked his friend to teach him the basics which the man accepted with a nod.
One year later, the current time, Namikaze Minato and three of his younger companions, on the way home from shopping groceries, suddenly died in a vehicular accident caused by excess thunderbolt direct hitting the fuel truck(2) which as a result, set it ablaze.
Finding himself in an unfamiliar place, Minato looked around the room.
So far, there's some room furniture and a TV set. His companions hid behind him.
'So..this is afterlife huh?' Minato thought with realization until a voice a called out to him.
"Minato Namikaze, was it?" that voice belonging to an old man in old design of kimono, called out.
Minato nodded while he made sure his young companions hid behind him for a while because he was not sure whether to trust this old man or not. He may be forgiving to others for what they had done to him but those who tried to threaten or attempt to harm his family especially his late loved one's legacies for they are, to him, a small remembrance of them.
"Tou-san...who is that old man? He looks strange..Shin-jiji looks more muscular than him" a voice belonging to Naruto said, with his cousins Shiro and Nagato nodding their heads in agreement.
The old man, realizing what his excess lightning from his training had caused, dougeza himself. The younger man before him, through his usage of TV, observed what the man contributed to help the country and people. Many figures loved and respected that man. He saw that man a good character, a promising candidate of a leader, a family man neverthless. "Please forgive, Minato-san for what I had done. Not only my thunderbolt accidentally killed you, but children too. As a god, I am really sorry. I did not mean to."
"""Eh, he's a god?!"""
"Well.." Minato then saw the children looking at this proclaimed claimed god with sparkling eyes and approached that old man...which he found to be adorable.
"Can you pull a miracle?" An excited and lively from Shiro entered, Minato haven't heard it a while.
"I can please tak-"
"Can you bring back the dead to life?"
"Yes, I just did now."
"Sugoi."
The children gathered around Minato with Naruto who took the opportunity to speak up. "Tou-san, the old man does not seem to be a meanie. Please accept his forgiveness."
"Very well." Minato couldn't say no for this. Besides the jiji there wasn't a bad person.
"Thank you," the World God said. The children sat beside Minato. The old man pushed his eyeglasses." Now let me introduce myself again, I am The World God. I've created your bodies here to make amends to my faults by granting your wishes and gifts to your desire. Also, I plan to send you"
The World God said this since he saw what kind of person Minato Namikaze was, along with the younger man's clan. So he's sure the man will use it for good intents and guide them. The man is a good teacher and leader. He'll explain the body he created for them too.
'This is like a story of a hero..' Minato thought smiling. "Okay, give me an ability to protect the innocent and the children here."
"Gomen, Minato-san. The bodies I created for you and the children here already have those abilities and traits. If you may, why not element specialization(s)? I can modify your bodies to it."
"Alright, make higher resistance to all existing elements here and in that world you plan to send us."
"Done, what else?"
"As for myself, I would like to be wind, fire and lightning type with speed(swift release) that can you know make myself be here so fast that no one will saw me coming," Minato secretly was a fan of "The Flash". Speed, he like that. He could secure them. During his gamer days, he used speed and devastation(think of it as hit and run build on insane amount of cocaine or a speed cheat) build. So why not take this opportunity without having to suffer from nerfbats? Those devs and whiners were just holding him back but with this opportunity, a life in fantasy world(though he missed his Kushina-chan), no one can restrain him except spells and curses.
"Granted. May I know your name, child?"
"Naruto, jii-san."
"Naruto-kun, what is your wish?"
"Can you bring back kaa-chan to life?"
"I can, but it'll take some time since she's at the spirit world. May I know what she looks like?"
"..." Naruto looked at his father for help.
"World God-san, I have a picture of her in this device." Minato showed him his smartphone.
"Ah, okay I'll make it usable for your use. Think of it as another gift."
"Arigatou." At this, Minato's phone suddenly lit up and he showed the World God his picture of him and his late wife.
"Well, I can do this." The World shifted his attention to the younger blonde with a smile. "It'll take longer, is that okay with you Naruto-kun?"
"Yes."
"Right..do you desire same gift as your father, Naruto-kun?"
"Hai..only with that speed thing(swift release) and ice element please."
"Granted." Naruto's blonde hair suddenly turned into silver white same as his younger cousin's. Minato was surprised but he understood immediately of side effects.
"What..Shiro-kun was it?" the young Senju-Namikaze boy nodded his head. The World God continued, "May I know what gift do you want?"
"Err..storm." The World God granted him with water, lightning and wind mastery godly levels like his family whereas the storm element will be the main element. The boy's appearance remained the same except his blue eyes became like electric blue on the pupils with electricity coating his entire body suddenly.
To them, the World God explained what happened. "Divine Mode.. An early awakening as a god... I didn't expect it today..Sorry for being late but your new bodies I created was filled with divine energy, making you a god like me."
They understood what it meant.
"Alright, finally we have Nagato-kun, was it?"
Nagato nodded his head.
"What power and gift do you desire?
"I don't know but I would like to be able support my cousins and Uncle Minato all the way. I want to be able to protect my younger cousins and innocent. A power that is destructive yet can be used for protecting."
'A power to protect the younger innocent and his family, huh? A magic eye..'
"How 'bout Rinnegan(Samsara Eye), Nagato-kun? A dangerous ability that can destroy everything into nothingness. An almost one-mand army mobile WMD. Knowing your personality and upbringing, you will not be the who will misuse it like those who I gave to."
Looking at his uncle and younger cousins, the red haired Uzumaki filled with determination because he felt it's his responsibility to look after his younger brother cousins, gave his answer. "I humbly accept, World God."
The World God smiled. "Okay, close your eyes for I will be giving you the gift."
After he's done, Nagato opened his eyes, revealing Rinnegan to them, it reminded them of ripple.
"To deactivate your magic eyes, just use your willpower."
"This is..I feel like my brain is being cramped with words." "Indeed it was, those are abilities and techniques associated with Rinnegan."
"I see..Arigatou, kami-sama. I will use it for protecting people and not be a meanie."
The World God smiled.
"Good to know. Now due to your gifts, you'll be able to create a permanent weapon that may kill our kind, the deities or gods. That weapon will be bounded to you for eternity."
"I see, how does it work though?" Minato asked.
"It's simple, you need a material then use your divinity on it, which would lead what we call divine artifact."
'That's similar to the games I played,' Minato thought as he understood the concept. The newly minted god asked him a question one more time, to be sure because the World God himself was clumsy." Can we be literate and know the existing languages of the world down there?"
"Yes, I already did that."
"Good to know, if not I might prank you."
"Ohoho no need for that, Minato-san." The World God stroked his beautiful(?) beard. "Alright, time for you to go. And Minato-san, I'll be pouring the knowledge to you so that you can teach the children. If you have questions, call me." He showed a newly created smartphone to them.
"Got it."
A bright light illuminated the whole room, leaving the World God with him thinking, he created new gods out from former humans.
'All for the best, I better fulfill my promise.'
