Simply enough, the Fire Daimyo was the older brother of Minato. Minato having taken the name Namikaze in order to become a ninja. And he had indeed become a powerful ninja and eventually Hokage. Then Minato Namikaze died, apparently childless.
Except of course that Minato Namikaze had a child named Naruto Uzumaki. The Fire Daimyo not having any children or heirs meant that political hacks were circling like sharks. So the Fire Daimyo knew about his brother Minato, and the Third Hokage knew that Naruto was Minato's son. Neither knew what the other knew at present or else Naruto would never even make it to the chunin exam before getting involved in the whole sordid mess.
Still, there had to be a few details put into place so that the two COULD make that connection. Wouldn't do at all to have it never come out.
Maybe the Chunin Exam at the very latest.
Hmmm. What else to do? Heh. The whole handsome warrior-prince thing? Having a genetic upgrade sounded appropriate, didn't it?
+2 Strength
+5 Intelligence
+5 Will
+10cm height
+10cm hair length
+ Fire Affinity
Really, what was the multiverse coming to if the lord of the Land Of Fire didn't have some nifty fire abilities?
Oh, now THAT was an idea. A bloodline relating to fire? Gold or purple was the color of nobility, so something along those lines? Maybe a sword? A big damn sword that would only appear in the hands of someone with the appropriate bloodline?
What else could royalty use?
+5 Charisma
Ability to detect lies
+ Water Affinity
+ Earth Affinity
+ Wood Affinity
Ability to win friends and influence people +50%
Yeah, that might just work. Mind you, he'd probably never use half of it because he'd be focussing on Slayer's style magic. The more options though, the more opportunity for ridiculously bizarre things down the road.
He didn't micromanage after all. Set up the joke and wait to see how it played out, much more amusing.
