But for every legend, there is a cataclysm which makes them a legend.

It's peaceful in the village of Konoha, and a tall figure with shocking blonde hair paced in his office. 'This isn't good. Not good at all… if what the scouts say is true…then he'll be left alone….' He just couldn't stop himself from thinking these thoughts as he walked back and forth in his office.
Minato Namikaze 4th hokage of Konahagakure, the village hidden in the leaves, while usually care free; cut a very imposing figure when serious. When he was serious, you could see the turmoil churning in the depths of his cerulean eyes. The experience of war, killing, and the deaths of comrades has left their mark on him. Most would say that he was a total goof ball that they couldn't believe achieved being hokage, yet there were few who could honestly say they've ever seen him so serious and focused. One of those select few was sitting in the window watching his student pace in circles, muttering to himself.
Hearing enough the visitor spoke his mind, "Gaki, if you're going to sit here and cower like a cornered rabbit, then you're not worth the title of hokage."
Minato whipped around. Face twisting into a scowl he spat out, "You have no idea what-"
"You would rather sit here and watch your comrades die and the citizens of your village die a meaningless, painful death?" He continued on without pause. His stern, level gaze never leaving his student. "If you fear death, then why have you put your life on the line so many times? Why have you never given up? Answer me!"
His scowl receding to be replaced with an annoyed look. "To protect those who can't do it otherwise. To protect the ones precious to me!" he replied as if that was obvious.
Leaning back against the wall, light from the sunset glinting off of his horned hitiate. He smiled and said, "Well there you go gaki, now your back…. Remember, your wife is in the hospital right now waiting for you to come back to her… but she understands if you have to do that jutsu. Now come here….. I have to tell you what I know about the biju…"
Later that night
Minato stood upon a giant orange toad with a pipe in his mouth and giant knife stuck into a swirling chaotic mass of red chakra. "Hurry up gaki! I can only hold him for so long!"
With his white hokage robes with his trademark flames swirling out behind him, he finished the long chain of hand seals he had been making. Looking down by his feet, he silently said goodbye to the small bundle wrapped up by his feet. "Shiki Fuiin!" As the light from the moon dimmed, the sounds of fighting and any other noise seemed to vanish all together. Slowly, a white specter with long white hair and a knife clamped between its teeth appeared behind him. Sensing the presence behind him, but knowing that even if he did turn around he wouldn't be able to see it if he tried, Minato indicated the target of the jutsu with a nod of his head. The specter shot his arm out and grabbed the mass of red chakra and as it pulled back its arm, Minato directed the arm to pull the chakra through the bundle by his feet. Once it was done, a spiral marking appeared on an exposed part of the bundle, and at that moment Minato collapsed to his knees. With a last sigh, and a faint smile, he whispered, "Everyone is safe now….. As long as you are alive….. you keep destruction at bay… you are the hero I could only wish I could be….." with that said he finally rested his eyes, yet the moment his closed the bundle stirred and a flap on it fell to the side exposing a head of shocking blonde hair and cerulean eyes to the world…
