Yes, Minato was furious!
With that thought, a kunai had appeared at some point in the hand of Minato Namikaze, who had only recently become the Fourth Hokage.
At first glance, Minato Namikaze did not look particularly formidable holding a kunai, but that stance alone gave all the members of the Sarutobi, Ino-Shika-Cho, and other clans present a terrible fright, sending cold sweat pouring down their faces.
