In Jiraiya's novel The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi, the village leader of Shuku is called the Kokage as an obvious homage to the Hokage position. Main article: Tsunade Tsunade ( 綱手, Tsunade) is a descendant of the Senju and Uzumaki Clan, and is one of Konohagakure's Sannin. She is famed as the world's strongest kunoichi and its greatest medical-nin. The repeated loss of her loved ones caused Tsunade to later abandon the life of a shinobi for many years. She is eventually persuaded to return to Konoha and take on the mantle of Fifth Hokage ( 五代目火影, Godaime Hokage, literally meaning: Fifth Fire Shadow), where her skills prove invaluable to the village.

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. Hashirama Senju was the First Hokage of Konoha, as well as one of its two main founders. He possessed the strength to counter Madara Uchiha in combat, making him one of the strongest characters in the entire series. Hashirama was a master of all five nature transformations, but his specialty was the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai. Using this power, he was capable enough to duel both Madara Uchiha and the Nine-Tails at the same time, an extremely admirable feat.The answer is simple. Bad writing. They just wanted Naruto and Minato to have a unique look so they gave them a unique look even though this made less than no sense and directly contradicted the established world building. We might as well ask why Madara as the 10 tails Jinchuuriki was vulnerable to taijutsu when jinchuuriki gaining a cloak which makes one immune to all taijutsu is one of the main advantages of being a jinchuuriki. Yes, Guy should not have been able to harm Madara even slightly because the 10 tails should have given Madara a cloak that rendered him invulnerable to taijutsu.

However, Sasuke never recognises himself as a Hokage due to his past criminal acts and his personal life-long journey of atonement. [14] 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.

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. 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. The Eighth was the chief aide of both the Sixth and the Seventh, as well as the student of the Third's son.At one point, Sasuke claimed Itachi to be the "true" Hokage on account of the latter's hefty sacrifices for the sake of the village. A reincarnated Hiruzen would later share this sentiment. This means the Unnamed Seamstress would've been at least 11 or 12 during Konoha's founding. She'd have turned 75 by the time Minato Namikaze was appointed the Fourth Hokage by the Land of Fire's daimyo and been in her early nineties in the year Kakashi Hatake became the Sixth Hokage. As Naruto became the Hokage 96 years after Konoha's founding, the Unnamed Seamstress was likely over 100 years old while stitching his Hokage inaugural robes. This would make her the oldest living person in all of Konohagakure, having lived through each of its iterations since the Hidden Village was first founded. Orochimaru was a prime candidate to be the Fourth Hokage, but was passed over because he didn't embody the Will of Fire.
