His father died when he would have been only 10 years old, and he somehow managed to avoid the chaos and troubles of the [[Jinshin War]] of [[672]], which took a toll on the power of the [[Nakatomi Clan|Nakatomi]] and their kinsmen, such as the Fujiwara.

He is much more active in the chronicles three years later. By the 6th month of [[700]], Fujiwara no Ason Fuhito was Jiki-kwo-ichi when he received an Imperial edict, along with others, to "make punitive rules", for which each received various honoraria.  In spring of the following year he is sent to the house of the late Dainagon, Otomo no Sukune Miyuki, of the rank of Sho-kwo-san, to confer the posthumous rank and title of Sho-kwo-ni, Minister of the Right (Udaijin).  Then, when the rank system was reformed in the 3rd month he received Sho-sho-sammi (Proper Proper 3rd Rank) and he was promoted from Chunagon (an office which was abolished) to Dainagon.

The Emperor Mommu's favor towards Fuhito can be seen in his memorial in the middle of the 4th month of [[707]].  Believing himself to be dieing (which he did exactly two months later), the Emperor praised Fuhito and offered him a fief of 5,000 households "from now onwards."  Fuhito declined, and the fief was decreased to only 2,000 households, with 1,000 being passed on to his descendants.

By the beginning of the [[708|following year]], Fuhito had obtained Junior 2nd rank (juni'i), and when the reign name changed from [[Keiun]] to [[Wado]] he was promoted, along with similarly ranked [[Isonokami Maro|Isonokami no Ason Maro]] to Senior 2nd rank (shoni'i).  He would be made Minister of the Right (Udaijin) only two months later (Isonokami no Maro was made Minister of the Left, ''Sadaijin'').  Both were praised by the new [[Emperess Gemmei]] for their "equitable character."
