Judging from the family history and pedigree, Namikaze Minato is really not a big family in Mu Ye Village.
According to the description in the Naruto story, Watergate does not have much advantage in family power, and it also has a lot to do with the establishment of Muye Village, such as Qianshou Family, Neichibo Family, Sunward Family, Qi Mu Family and Ape Flying Family. Compared with Muye Village, Watergate's family really doesn't have much background, but the background is not only about family background, but also depends on the ninja's own ability. In the final analysis, strength is one of the fundamental factors that determine the background of characters in Naruto.
Sarutobi Asuma, for example, has good domestic conditions, but its own strength is not enough to become Huo Ying. In the plot, besides family strength, the most important thing is to look at their comprehensive strength, such as Naruto and Feng Boshuimen. Namikaze Minato can fly Raytheon, and Kyubi no Youko in Naruto was inherited by Ootutuki Hagoromo. As for another Naruto, Otawa Muye Village family background. The first generation, the second generation and the fifth generation of Naruto belong to the same clan, while the sixth generation of Naruto belongs to the Qi Mu family.
Although Namikaze Minato's family power is weak, its own strong strength is also one of the background conditions for becoming Huo Ying.
Huo Ying's influence background is not only reflected in the blood relationship, but also related to the mentoring relationship and the game of rights system in Muye Village.
Because wars often break out in the world of Huo Ying, the inheritance between different forces is not limited to the family system. The mentoring relationship can also be regarded as a reflection of the background. For example, Huo Ying, the third generation, is the second generation's apprentice. Only when he has strong ability and belongs to the ape-flying clan can he become Huo Ying. The fourth generation of Huo Ying is Jiraiya's apprentice, and Jiraiya is Sarutobi Hiruzen's apprentice. Therefore, personally, I think that Namikaze Minato is one of the main members of Sarutobi Hiruzen Sect (Clan with Thousand Hands), and several other Huo Ying also have this relationship (Gang Shou is not only Senju Hashirama's granddaughter, but also Sarutobi Hiruzen's apprentice, and Kakashi is the fourth generation of Huo Ying).
Moreover, most of the rights in Muye Village are basically in the hands of these big families. It stands to reason that the Neiguang clan was also very powerful at that time. However, due to the bad relationship with the Thousand-Handed Clan and the attack of Kyubi no Youko, it has been rejected by other ethnic groups, so even the family members with good strength can't be Huo Ying. Namikaze Minato can be the backing of Huo Ying and the flying apes. At the meeting to recommend the candidates for the fourth generation of Huo Ying, the Tibet Autonomous Region elected orochimaru as the fourth generation of Huo Ying (or the third generation of Huo Ying's apprentice). At this stage, orochimaru should have cooperated with Tuanzang, but in fact, the third generation of Huo Ying already knew all the ins and outs of orochimaru. In order to ensure the future position of the ape-flying clan in Muye village and the long-term stable development of Muye village, it was chosen.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to say that Namikaze Minato has no background. The background here includes Namikaze Minato's own comprehensive strength, and the potential value of other families investing in Watergate besides family power. Watergate can sit in the position of Huo Ying, which is the result of the high-level power game in Muye Village. Sarutobi Hiruzen chose Namikaze Minato, because he believed that he would not do anything that would harm the overall interests of Mu Ye Village and the rights and interests of the Apes. As for orochimaru recommended by Tuanzang, at this stage, it has been discovered by Huo Ying for three generations, and the mind has not cooperated with Tuanzang to do human experiments. Once it becomes Huo Ying, it will not be conducive to the normal development of Muye Village.
Finally, to sum up, I personally think that if we discuss it from the aspect of family power, there is not much background in Muye Village, but from the perspective of our own strength, development potential and mentoring relationship, Dou has become the object of different forces, and behind Watergate's success as Naruto, there is also strong support from the Ape Flying Family. Watergate incident has also become an important part of Sarutobi Hiruzen faction. Please forgive me if the analysis is not in place. If you have other ideas, please leave a message to discuss.
