Fandom question.

This is about the post made earlier. In the comments about the wallpaper with the whole lineage of senseis the name Uzumaki Arashi kept coming up. Now I know that the name is totally a part of fanon and is NOT canon,but where did it come from? The people there seemed pretty adamant about it being his name (which it's not).

Uzumaki Arashi was came up for the fourth Hokage. In the manga (not the anime, it's just squigles) when Naruto signs the scroll for the contract with Gamabunta, that name (or something that resembles it) is the one next to it. Arashi also means "storm," so storm + swirl would make something like a tsunami.

I think?

If it was on the scroll then why didn't Naruto himself notice it?

Naruto is... Well, Naruto.

He's so clueless it hurts.

I never knew that o__o

It would be a very fitting name, too bad it can't be due to another character having the name. :/

When Naruto signed the summoning scroll, the name next to his should have been that of the Fourth Hokage, and the name next to that is Jiraiya's name. The problem is that the kanji is completely indecipherable. Lots of people tried anyway.

Then someone, somewhere, made a suggestion: That the kanji might be "Arashi". Arashi means "storm" or some such -- fitting for the Fourth Hokage, most fans tend to agree, as it goes with the whole whirl imagery. It was very popular, but still just fanon. No one can read that kanji.

And it's been a while since I checked the image, but I'm pretty sure the fourth's name doesn't have "Uzumaki" in it.

And the "Arashi" character in the anime was filler, so technically it shouldn't have any influence on what the Fourth's name turns out to be.

Not in the manga either.

It's completely, utterly unreadable.

What chapter is that in? >_> Over in four_by_four everyone's started on with Kayaku... I must see the squiggles for myself! and besides, my writer is going to kill me if I keep using Yondy when talking about him
