It has produced several notable members who have held positions of high authority, such as [[Hokage]], and membership in the [[Twelve Guardian Ninja]]. All known members have also been observed devotees of the [[Will of Fire]].<section end=summary /> == Overview == After Konohagakure's formation following the [[Era of the Warring States]], the Sarutobi were amongst the first set of clans to ally themselves with the [[Senju]] and [[Uchiha]]-founded village, alongside the [[Shimura clan]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 625, page 8</ref> Not much is known of this clan but, in order to strengthen the [[Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi Clan Memorial|unity]] between the [[Akimichi]], [[Nara]], and [[Yamanaka]] clans, it has become a tradition that one of the Sarutobi give each of the members of the current [[Ino–Shika–Chō]] trio special earrings when they swear their oaths.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 533, page 12</ref> Several members were also seen during the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]] in the battle against [[Madara]], [[Obito Uchiha]], and the [[Ten-Tails]]. They used the [[Fire Release: Great Flame Technique]] to quickly dry the [[Lava Release: Quicklime Congealing Technique|quicklime]] which was covering the beast.<ref name="chpt612">''Naruto'' chapter 612, pages 12-13</ref> == Abilities == [[File:Great Flame Technique.png|thumb|Members of the Sarutobi clan using Fire Release.]] The Sarutobi are famous for their high willpower, and exceptionally strong shinobi.
