Hokage are responsible for most of the village's day-to-day affairs, such as assigning the village's ninja to missions or securing funding for the village's projects and personnel. The Hokage spends most of their time in the village, only travelling abroad for events of vital importance to Konoha. Each Hokage typically lives according to the Will of Fire, a philosophy that holds that Konoha is a family and that the Hokage is chiefly responsible for protecting that family. The workload of Hokage can be quite formidable, and as such retired Hokage may continue to oversee certain sections of the village or, if not that, will advise the current Hokage on request. Over a decade after the Fourth Shinobi World War, the workload of the Hokage had expanded tremendously due to the expansive growth that Konohagakure enjoyed after the War, as well as the Hokage's duties becoming nearly that of a pseudo-head of state in the Land of Fire. As such, until his schedule lessened, the Seventh Hokage would be swamped with paperwork and other appearances all over the village turned city to the point where even his massive chakra reserves would be depleted. And he would be unable to spend time with his family, temporarily forming a rift between himself and his eldest son. Main article: Danzō Shimura Danzō Shimura ( 志村ダンゾウ, Shimura Danzō) was an elder of Konohagakure. As the founder and leader of Root, Danzō gained notoriety as The Darkness of the Shinobi ( 忍の闇, Shinobi no Yami, English TV: The Shinobi of Darkness) [4] because of his frequent unsanctioned actions and his often-suspected (but rarely proven) undermining of specific Konoha personnel. Despite his decades of suspicious deeds, Danzō only ever acted in what he believed were the village's best interests. He was appointed the Sixth Hokage Candidate ( 六代目火影候補, Rokudaime Hokage Kōho, literally meaning: Sixth Fire Shadow Candidate) after Pain's Assault, but died before he could be formally approved to the position.

Main article: Hiruzen Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi ( 猿飛ヒルゼン, Sarutobi Hiruzen) was the Third Hokage ( 三代目火影, Sandaime Hokage, literally meaning: Third Fire Shadow) of Konohagakure. A disciple of the village's two previous Hokage, Hiruzen was a powerful ninja, hailed as a " God of Shinobi". Though he was only ever directly the teacher of the Sannin, generations of Konoha shinobi benefited from his wisdom during his lifetime.

Partial Transformation : The jinchuriki can transform any part of their body into the tailed-beast equivalent of the same.

Jinchuriki form version 2 : In this form, depending on the number of tails, a user' body is shrouded in boiling blood. Bones may also start manifesting if the number of tails increase. Fugaku Uchiha's talents were considered comparable to Minato Namikaze and the Sannin, even viewed as a prime candidate to become Fourth Hokage. Despite this, his name was not even suggested. Many in the Uchiha Clan suspected this was due to the village officials not wanting the Uchiha Clan on centre stage. [11] ith all the art, effort, and style put into them, it's well deserved. Naruto, on its own, grew up with a generation and is loved by viewers from all walks of life.

In the very first panel, we can see Sarada arguing in the village leader’s room. And in the next panel, we can see Shikamaru donning the Hokage cloak outfit confirming that he is the new successor to Naruto. Not only did Shikamaru get a design upgrade but other characters also brought major design changes after Timeskip in Buruto Two Blue Vortex.

According to Boruto, Naruto refers to Sasuke as the "Shadow Hokage", due to Naruto protecting the village from the inside whereas Sasuke supports Naruto and protects the village from the outside. However, Sasuke never recognises himself as a Hokage due to his past criminal acts and his personal life-long journey of atonement. [14] Jinchuriki Form version 1 : In this case the chakra starts taking the form of a beast and tails start manifesting. Also according to Naruto (the original series), the entire 9 tails was sealed inside Naruto just as has happened to every other 9 tailed Jinchuuriki. The retcon in Shippuden about the 9 tails being split in half was directly contradicted by every other arc. For one thing Kushina had the entire 9 tails sealed in her and she was 100% fine. Every leaf village Jinchuuriki before Kushina also had the entire 9 tails sealed inside them and they were completely fine. There is no evidence to support the assertion that Naruto could not or did not have the entire 9 tails sealed inside him. Bee had the entire 8 tails sealed inside him and he was 100% fine. The Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki is the current leader of Konoha and also the strongest of all the Kage. All things considered, however, fans had been expecting Naruto become the Hokage for a long time. Although Naruto's start was shaky, he slowly mastered various Jutsu and overcame his weaknesses with sheer hard work. Thanks to his various abilities, such as the Sage Mode, the power of Kurama, and the Six Paths powers, Naruto is deemed as the strongest ninja to ever exist.

The first half of the Boruto series wrapped up with a big cliffhanger. Kawaki fooled everyone with the powers of Eida (Omnipotence) that he is the son of Naruto and he added that Boruto has murdered Naruto. This led to Boruto being marked as a traitor and Hokage killer. And now Naruto and Hinata are trapped in another dimension. Since everyone believed now that the Seventh Hokage is no more, the Konoha village can’t function properly without a leader to lead them. The Eighth was the chief aide of both the Sixth and the Seventh, as well as the student of the Third's son. Main article: Tobirama Senju Tobirama Senju ( 千手扉間, Senju Tobirama) was a member of the renowned Senju clan, who, together with his elder brother and the Uchiha clan, founded the first shinobi village: Konohagakure. Throughout his lifetime, Tobirama would work tirelessly to achieve political stability and implement the institutions that made the village system work, thus ensuring Konoha's continuity and prosperity. After his brother's death, he would earn the title of Second Hokage ( 二代目火影, Nidaime Hokage, literally meaning: Second Fire Shadow). Main article: Shikamaru Nara Shikamaru Nara ( 奈良シカマル, Nara Shikamaru) is a shinobi of Konohagakure's Nara clan. Though lazy by nature, Shikamaru has a rare intellect that consistently allows him to prevail in combat. The responsibilities that these successes leave him with cause him frequent annoyance, but he gladly accepts them so that he may be of service to his fellow members of Team Asuma, and to prove himself to generations of the past and future. As an adult, he served as chief aide to Naruto when he became the Seventh Hokage, before succeeding him as Eighth Hokage ( 八代目火影, Hachidaime Hokage, literally meaning: Eighth Fire Shadow) when Naruto disappeared and was believed to have been killed. [3] Candidates [ ] Sixth Hokage Candidate [ ]Taking the position of Hokage after Hiruzen Sarutobi's passing, Tsunade Senju was chosen as the Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure. Working together with Orochimaru and Jiraiya, Tsunade formed the famed Legendary Sannin of Konoha. As one of the Sannin, Tsunade's fighting prowess was remarkable, being able to duel even Madara to an extent. Tsunade's specialty was her 'Chakra Enhanced Strength' Jutsu, but she could also use the Forbidden Jutsu of Byakugou. If you can remember, Asuma Sarutobi once claimed that Shikamaru Nara has all the potential to become Hokage one day if he weren’t so lazy. And that dream has now come to fruition as Shikamaru rightfully became the Eighth Hokage ((八代目火影, Hachidaime Hokage) of Konoha now. Hashirama's powers were further enhanced by his Sage Mode, which is what made him the strongest shinobi of his generation. When combined with his Wood Release ninjutsu, his Sage Mode made him practically unstoppable. Although Hashirama was a fantastic shinobi, he certainly wasn't the strongest in Naruto. Unfortunately, he failed to bring peace and harmony to Konoha while he was still alive. On the other hand, it can be argued that Hashirama's unforgettable legacy would change and influence the shinobi world in unpredictable yet positive ways. Main article: Hashirama Senju Hashirama Senju ( 千手柱間, Senju Hashirama) was a member of the famed Senju clan. He himself was hailed as the "God of Shinobi" for his unmatched ninja prowess. Hashirama sought peace for the shinobi world, and to that end founded Konohagakure with his clan, his childhood friend and rival: Madara Uchiha and the Uchiha clan. He would later become the First Hokage ( 初代火影, Shodai Hokage, literally meaning: First or Founding Fire Shadow) of Konohagakure. Although he was not able to achieve peace during his lifetime, his legacy and vision for the world would continue to shape the village and the entire shinobi world even after his death. Main article: Kakashi Hatake Kakashi Hatake ( はたけカカシ, Hatake Kakashi) is a shinobi of Konohagakure's Hatake clan. Famed as Kakashi of the Sharingan ( 写輪眼のカカシ, Sharingan no Kakashi), he is one of Konoha's most talented ninja, regularly looked to for advice and leadership despite his personal dislike of responsibility. To his students on Team 7, Kakashi emphasises the importance of teamwork; he himself received this lesson, along with the Sharingan, from his childhood friend, Obito Uchiha. After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kakashi becomes Konoha's Sixth Hokage ( 六代目火影, Rokudaime Hokage, literally meaning: Sixth Fire Shadow).
