I'm talking about this "According to Asuma Sarutobi, his student Shikamaru Nara has the ability to become Hokage, but won't due to him being too lazy to want to." i mean its just someone saying that someone else could be hokage if they tried, what made it deserve a place in the trivia?--[[User:Charmanking2198|Charmanking2198]] ([[User talk:Charmanking2198|talk]]) 19:10, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

:If Kakashi had been mentioned only once as having potential to be Hokage, he'd be mentioned, why not Shikamaru? It's in the trivia section, it relates to the subject of the article, while still not being vital to it.

:Yes. But above everybody else in the series, Shikamaru was stated to have Hokage potential. A lot of people aspire to become Hokage, but not everyone has the potential to. That's why Kiba for example isn't listed as wanting to become Hokage (not that he doesn't have the potential) or what not.--[[User:Cerez365|Cerez<small>365</small><sup>™</sup>]][[File:Hyūga Symbol.svg|20px]][[User talk:Cerez365|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 19:38, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think the stuff about people with potential to be Hokage is unnecessary, but I was thinking, we've listed several other people as having held the position, if only temporarily and the Trivia is running a bit long, so could I add a sub-section titled "Non-Canon Hokage" and throw in links to them with a short explanation, it might make the whole think look a bit neater. --[[User:Hawkeye2701|Hawkeye2701]] ([[User talk:Hawkeye2701|talk]]) 15:30, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hiruzen himself says that there's a soul bound to Orochimaru's Edo Tensei technique that doesn't belong to those he resurrected, so the First and Second Hokage are obviously not trapped within the Death God, only Minato and the Third.

[[User:Omnibender|Omnibender]], this was extracted from the Hokage's article Overview: "...but if the old Hokage dies or is incapacitated before being able to do so, the Fire Daimyō will appoint a Hokage Candidate upon the recommendation of the Konoha council and the Fire Daimyō council. Afterwards, '''the candidate will need to be approved by the jōnin of the village to become officially Hokage'''.
All Hokage have had some connection to each other: The First and Second were brothers, the Third was the student of the Second, The Fourth was the student of Jiraiya, who was a student of the Third, and the Fifth is the granddaughter of the First, the grandniece of the Second, and the student of the Third. When Kakashi was considered for the position of the Sixth, his connections to the past Hokage almost cemented his selection as he was a student of the Fourth. The former acting Hokage, Danzō, was once a rival to the Third for the position, and Danzō disagreed with the peaceful ideologies of the five Hokage.

:"Enter office" there means exercise the position, not move into the Hokage's Residence. Saying he was a candidate already points out he had yet to officially become Hokage.

== Regarding Kakashi ==
+
== Meaning of Hokage ==
  +
In Japanese, "hokage" means fire light. Although it is true that the letter "kage" normally means shadow, the meaning changes from shadow to light in specific combinations of kanjis. Other examples are tsukikage -> moonlight and hoshikage -> starlight. [[Special:Contributions/220.100.22.39|220.100.22.39]] ([[User talk:220.100.22.39|talk]]) 16:35, June 22, 2013 (UTC)
   
Should it be noted that Kakashi is essentially the acting Hokage now? Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro have explained that Danzo flew the coop, and so it's been decided that the group needs to move on as though Kakashi had been chosen instead of Danzo from the start. I mean, the village doesn't know, but they said there's no time to go back and have the Jonin vote. So do we count Kakashi as acting Sixth or not?

== Chapter 627 ==
:He's not. Right now, Kakashi is a dude staying at an inn on the Outskirts of the Land of Iron. Danzo left the summit, but that doesn't dismiss him as acting Hokage, because nobody at the summit has the authority to say "Danzo is no longer Hokage." Only the Fire Daimyo and/or the Jonin Council can say that.--[[User:TheUltimate3|TheUltimate3]] ([[User talk:TheUltimate3|talk]]) 16:33, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

On the last panel of said chapter it says "The strongest soilders are ready"/ "The biggest of the big fish about to flex their might" (depending on your translation). Now I may be reading into it a little too much but does this confirm that Hokages 1-4 are among the strongest in history? Well actually the 2nd and 4th since 1st and 3rd are already considered among them. I'm just saying since Tobirama constantly fought evenly and eventually defeated Izuna (who was noted to be one of the greats among the Uchiha) and Minato is already considered one of the most gifted and on top both are arguably the strongest Kage of their generation. However like I said just very intense speculation. --[[User:Youngjusticeplayer007|Youngjusticeplayer007]] ([[User talk:Youngjusticeplayer007|talk]]) 18:11, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

:Yeah, Hokage are the strongest Kage. Save Tsunade of course. I mean:
This is my opinion, but i think we should have the pictures of the kage being in their kage robes if there are pictures of them in them, not their profile pictures, there is one of the 1st and 5th kages, danzo too, and we can put the picture on Minato's page (the one that says, Minato as the fourth hokage, i just personally think we should put those as the pictures on this page --[[User:Sauske-Blaze|Sauske-Blaze]] ([[User talk:Sauske-Blaze|talk]]) 21:11, December 17, 2009 (UTC)Sauske-Blaze

== 1st controlling some biju ==
 
 
The 1st Hokages Secret Wood Style Jutsu made him able to control biju. I understand how Madara was able to control them through his dojutsu/genjutsu. But how can ninjutsu be able to manipulate things. All it is suppose to do is hurt you. {{unsigned|70.198.109.1|00:38, 2010 January 9 (UTC)}}
 
:Ninjutsu can be used for a lot more than just hurting people. The way i understand it, the First Hokage channels his innate ability to control Tailed Beasts through his Wood Release. It was just a coincidence that his kekkei genkai gave him both powers.

== Question ==
 
 
When Orochimaru was fighting the 3rd and summons the first and the second, were they the real 1st and 2nd or are they fakes. if they were real, there is no question that hiruzen is the strongest hokage since he was able to beat the1st, 2nd and Orochimaru at the same time. i think that minato was strongest since hiruzen said i wish the 4th were here, he would be able to beat Orochimaru. {{unsigned|70.198.109.1|00:45, 2010 January 9 (UTC)}}
 
:They were the real First and Second Hokage. They had their souls, their abilities, and their strength. The only thing they lacked was their minds, since Orochimaru took those away. They were, in fact, more difficult to defeat, because they could regenerate when harmed.
 
:The Fourth Hokage was not stronger that the Third, but he had the potential to become stronger. The Third Hokage was specifically called the strongest of all the Hokage, which includes the Fourth. However, the Fourth Hokage was called the greatest shinobi and the greatest Hokage and was said to be able to have risen to great heights. This indicates that he was one of the best in every point a shinobi and Hokage should and could be great and he could have potentially have become even stronger than the Third. He just died before that.

I understand all of this, like at the end of chapter 450 he was said to be hokage, but even kakashi said the jonin didnt vote yet so hes acting as hokage for the time being. and even danzo said he wants to impress the other kages to get the vote from the jonin... so officially he wasnt hokage, but he just acting as hokage.--[[User:Shelldone|Shelldone]] ([[User talk:Shelldone|talk]]) 23:18, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
I think since the article is titled "Hokage" the point of the page is to show the Hokage of the village. Danzo was never officially a Hokage, or else he would have a picture in that room, and a carving of his face on the Hokage Monument. Danzo was merely put as the Acting kage, thats the word. What i mean by "acting" is that he was appointed leaser until a final decision was made (the jonin vote). I believe the hokage page should just contain information about the official hokage and that in the trivia section, its says, "Danzo was appointed during the Kage Summit arc as Temporary Hokage, until an official decision was made, unfortunatley, he died before the official Jonin vote was made," or something like that. --[[User:Sauske-Blaze|Sauske-Blaze]] ([[User talk:Sauske-Blaze|talk]]) 00:24, May 16, 2010 (UTC)Sauske-Blaze
 
 
When he was dieing he admitted to not being the Hokage when he was thinking of Saurtobi. He was a candidate not the real thing. In order to be the real thing you need the Daimyo's blessing AND the Jonin vote. Danzo died before he got to the Jonin vote and as such even he admitted he wasn't Hokage. Say what you want but the character himself admitted it.[[User:Saimaroimaru|Saimaroimaru]] ([[User talk:Saimaroimaru|talk]]) 05:53, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

ya but if ur going to keep danzo, then kakashi should be there too, he was a candidate as well, and if you say he wasnt given blessing my the daimyo, he was a second from being done so, meaning that he was a candidate for the position, it's either put both the candidates, or take them out......my suggestion is to just make a trivia that kakashi and danzo were candidates for the position of 6th hokage --[[User:Sauske-Blaze|Sauske-Blaze]] ([[User talk:Sauske-Blaze|talk]]) 21:38, June 9, 2010 (UTC)Sauske-Blaze

i agree, however, in the Fire Daimyo's head he already had Kakashi as a candidate for the position, and he was literally about to say "I hear-by appoint you as the Sixth Hokage" --[[User:Sauske-Blaze|Sauske-Blaze]] ([[User talk:Sauske-Blaze|talk]]) 22:20, June 9, 2010 (UTC)Sauske-Blaze

plus to add a point to previous comment, the word Candidate dictionary definition: A person who applies for a job or is nominated for election (side note:) -A person or thing that is regarded as suitable for or likely to receive a certain fate. Basically what i am trying to say is that a candidate is someone who is considered for the position. You have to use the word correctly, if you are going to say Danzo a CANDIDATE for 6th Hokage, then you need to put Kakashi as well because, he was considered for the position of 6th Hokage, my suggestion are to either change that danzo was a candidate, put a thing or kakashi as candidate, or just change to a trivia thing --[[User:Sauske-Blaze|Sauske-Blaze]] ([[User talk:Sauske-Blaze|talk]]) 22:25, June 9, 2010 (UTC)Sauske-Blaze

::@Sauske-Blaze: Not when the term is used to refer to a candidate for an official position. In that case, a candidate isn't just someone who has the possibility to gain that position, but someone officially chosen to run for that position.
 
::For instance, let's say that the position we're talking about is that of president. The candidates for this position are those officially chosen by the participating parties.
 
::@Jacce: Acting Hokage doesn't actually completely fit the situation either. An acting Hokage would imply someone who takes over until a new Hokage can be elected. Not to mention that we actually have an official canon title. --[[User:ShounenSuki|ShounenSuki]] <sup>([[User_talk:ShounenSuki|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/ShounenSuki|contribs]])</sup> 17:32, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
While the fact if Danzo should listed as Hokage or that we should make a new section about Hokage Candidates, should we not at least aknowledge on the Hokage section that for a while he was giving out the orders and representing the village as leader for a while. While he may not have been "Hokage," he was still in charge. [[User:Thomas Finlayson|Thomas Finlayson]] ([[User talk:Thomas Finlayson|talk]]) 18:01, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
I like ShounenSuki's point, like say the presidential run, all the people running for the position of president are known as candidate's, but I agree as well with his second point, that he should be listed as acting, or temporary acting or something. Maybe we should just change it to trivia that he was the acting hokage during the Kage Summit arc, and keep the page for the official hokage --[[User:Sauske-Blaze|Sauske-Blaze]] ([[User talk:Sauske-Blaze|talk]]) 22:34, June 10, 2010 (UTC)Sauske-Blaze
 
 
Since he was preforming duties as Hokage and had a chance of becoming the Hokage, something Jiraiya and Kakashi didn't, Danzo could be listed as "acting". [[Special:Contributions/213.67.182.127|213.67.182.127]] ([[User talk:213.67.182.127|talk]]) 10:02, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
I think that Danzo should be removed from the Hokage page, because he was never officialy appointed like the others and if not that way then put it to trivia that he was acting hokage or remove the picture, because he is already dead.--[[User:Adek121|Adek121]] ([[User talk:Adek121|talk]]) 14:05, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
Of the non-Hokage, Danzo is the one who got closest to being one. From the structure we know (appointed by Daimyo, approved by jonin), he's the one who went the furthest. Also, why remove his image? Only Tsunade is alive, should we remove deceased Hokage as well? Don't think so. [[User:Omnibender|Omnibender]] - [[User talk:Omnibender|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Omnibender|Contributions]] 20:36, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
The best title for Danzo is "Interim", he was the Interim-Hokage. A person who is put into a position for the meantime to deal with current issues until the position can be resolved at a later date. I think this word should be substituted in the place of candidate, that or use the word 'Nominee' which also makes sense. On the debate on the word 'candidate', it is best defined, in the context we are talking about, as a person who is a contender and has some form of support for a position; Kakashi would fall under this definition of being a candidate, since he has several people who would support him such as Shikaku in his run for the position of Hokage. Naruto could be considered a candidate for Hokage, since he was praised so highly by a anonymous villager/Ninja and other notable characters. --[[User:Alastar 89|Alastar 89]] ([[User talk:Alastar 89|talk]]) 07:08, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
:No it isn't. ''Interim'' implies a temporary position one hasn't necessarily been officially elected for. Danzō's position was neither temporary —he would have become the real hokage had all gone right— nor unofficial — he was chosen legally and according to the normal procedures. There is no good word in English for what Danzō's position was. There are various terms used for positions like Danzo's, but none are perfect:
 
:* '''Candidate Hokage:''' Implies he has no official duties, nor has been actually elected in any way yet.
 
:* '''Hokage-Elect:''' Does imply he has already been elected, but also that he has no official duties yet
 
:* '''Interim Hokage:''' Implies a non-elected, temporary position with limited power, serving as an bridge between two official hokage. Usually used in times of crises when there is no longer any official government and no time to officially elect one.
 
:* '''Acting Hokage:''' Also implies a non-elected, temporary position. Usually because the official hokage is temporarily unavailable.
 
:* '''Hokage Nominee:''' Same as candidate-hokage, but implies candidature suggested by someone else, rather than candidature on one's own accord.
 
:* '''Hokage-Regent:''' Implies a temporary position held because the official Hokage is unable to rule in their own right, be it illness, minority, or something else. implies a non-elected, held-for-life position.
 
:* '''Hokage-Designate:''' Implies the person holding the title is expected to become the next Hokage, but isn't yet there.
 
:* '''Hokage-in-Waiting:''' Same as Hokage-Designate.
 
:No English term truly fits Danzō's position, so we fall back on the term used by Kishimoto-sensei: HoKage Candidate. —[[User:ShounenSuki|ShounenSuki]] <sup>([[User_talk:ShounenSuki|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/ShounenSuki|contribs]] | [[User:ShounenSuki#Translations|translations]])</sup> 11:50, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

''All of the former Hokage have been sealed away in the stomach of the Death God summoning; The Fourth was sealed when he sealed the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox within Naruto, while the '''First and Second were re-sealed''' when the Third sealed them away. As for the Third, he was sealed when he gave his life to seal Orochimaru, but only managing to seal away his arms.''

== Sakura connections ==
 
 
Why, in the connections trivia point, is sakura mentioned. She's never once been mentioned in regards to being hokage. The point is about the connections of those who have been hokage or, like kakashi, were considered for the position. Sakura really has no reason to be mentioned.

== WHY MANGA pics all of a sudden? ==
 
 
Why is Narutopedia gradually changes all anime pics into manga pics? Is this a wiki that only covers manga now?

Other examples include Part 2 characters from coloured volume chapters, when there are full body shots of them in the anime?

:If you can find a high-quality, flawless anime image of the Hokage Mountain, no-one will stop you from switching it with the manga image I put up. I only changed the image to one of the manga because the anime images were... not up to par, so to say.

== 4th to 3rd Hokage? ==
 
 
Okay so obviously the 9 tails attack on the Leaf was before the 1st episode, and then the 4th hokage sealed it , so obviously it was the 4th hokage at that time. But if that's true, then at the beginning of the show, why was 3rd hokage back in seat? And how was there ever a 4th hokage if the 3rd hokage never died at the time? shouldnt the 3rd hokage still of been hokage when the 9 tails attacked? --Mizukage[Mist]
 
:People tend to retire when they get pretty old. Hiruzen Sarutobi was 56 when the Nine-Tails attacked. That's not exactly young for a ninja. Jiraiya died at a younger age than that, as did many powerful shinobi. It should be no surprise that he would want to retire. That's my take on it, anyways.
 
:The only important thing you need to know is that the Fourth Hokage was named while Sarutobi was still alive. That is the word of god. (Word of god as used here refers to the word of the creator of the series.)[[User:Ryne 91|Ryne 91]] ([[User talk:Ryne 91|talk]]) 05:40, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

A country/village's political system isn't something that is straightforward.

== Bringing back into discussion ==
 
 
I think we should simply mark Danzo as Hokage on the list not just Hokage candidate, because he did die true but was appointed hokage in Tsunade's absence and was hokage for a whole arc, like how the Third hokage pretty much handled things when the fourth died but in this case he was appointed and not just hokage candidate really and it's kind of bugging me that if we just mark Hokage Candidates the list will fill up with everyone who will be taking over for their absence so it simple, we mark him hokage or take him off the list. --[[Special:Contributions/141.157.21.68|141.157.21.68]] ([[User talk:141.157.21.68|talk]]) 00:03, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

The rule says that a ninja is appointed Candidate by the Fire Daimyo, then officially Hokage by jonins of Konoha. Therefore, at this moment, Kakashi was probably about to be appointed as a Candidate.

:Danzō was appointed for Hokage by the daimyō, the only reason we list in as Candidate is because that's how he was listed in one of the Fanbooks. Kakashi would have been appointed for Hokage the same way, and would probably be approved faster, since pretty much only Root supports Danzō, while Kakashi is much more popular among the jōnin.

Of course, he would have been approved faster, but the only thing which disturbs me is this part "if Tsunade hadn't woken up moments before hand". Because if Tsunade hadn't woken up moments before hand, he would have been appointed as the Sixth Hokage Candidate, then later will officially be Hokage by being approved by jonins. But maybe, because of the war which about to begin, Fire daimyo decided to appoint him directly as the Sixth Hokage.

:We don't know that the daimyō could simply bypass Konoha's system like that. More than likely the voting process amongst the jōnin would have taken place a little faster than it did with Danzō, but I don't believe an external force like the daimyō could just say "ok you're officially the Sixth, no voting necessary", Konoha's supposed to be an "independent" system.--[[User:Cerez365|Cerez<small>365</small><sup>™</sup>]][[File:Hyūga Symbol.svg|20px]][[User talk:Cerez365|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 10:40, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
 
 
Probably you're right, but concerning what I said before, what do you think about this? I mean, if Tsunade hadn't woken up moments before hand, Kakashi would have been appointed as the Sixth Hokage Candidate for sure and would not officially be appointed as the Sixth Hokage like it is said in the article.

:Uhm, that's sorta nitpicking. Why are you hankering so much on one word? --[[User:Cerez365|Cerez<small>365</small><sup>™</sup>]][[File:Hyūga Symbol.svg|20px]][[User talk:Cerez365|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 11:24, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
 
::No, it is not the case. It is just that there is a big difference between being appointed as a Hokage Candidate and being appointed as a Hokage simply, and the context is also different. [[User:Whitewhol|Whitewhol]] ([[User talk:Whitewhol|talk]]) 11:32, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
 
 
Did you read my comment? The manga shows the daimyō appointing Danzō as Hokage. The fact he's listed as "candidate" is only because he got the nomination, but had yet to be approved. He was appointed, period. Kakashi would have been appointed, by Tsunade woke up first.

== Tailed Beast Control ==
 
 
He did it with the help of his necklace. Go the article 1st Hokage's necklace.{{unsigned|180.234.153.55}}
 
:Hashirama used the necklace to enhance his control of "jinchūriki and the tailed beasts". The way you were editing it made it sound as if Hashirama lopped all the tailed beast together and swung the necklace over their heads and told them to sit. That, is impossible.--[[User:Cerez365|Cerez<small>365</small><sup>™</sup>]][[File:Hyūga Symbol.svg|20px]][[User talk:Cerez365|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 11:42, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

An unnecessary trivia point

I'm talking about this "According to Asuma Sarutobi, his student Shikamaru Nara has the ability to become Hokage, but won't due to him being too lazy to want to." i mean its just someone saying that someone else could be hokage if they tried, what made it deserve a place in the trivia?--Charmanking2198 (talk) 19:10, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

If Kakashi had been mentioned only once as having potential to be Hokage, he'd be mentioned, why not Shikamaru? It's in the trivia section, it relates to the subject of the article, while still not being vital to it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:14, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

No? kakashi was going to be appointed as the hokage for real, Shikamaru never even got close to it.--Charmanking2198 (talk) 19:35, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

Yes. But above everybody else in the series, Shikamaru was stated to have Hokage potential. A lot of people aspire to become Hokage, but not everyone has the potential to. That's why Kiba for example isn't listed as wanting to become Hokage (not that he doesn't have the potential) or what not.--Cerez365Hyūga Symbol(talk) 19:38, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think the stuff about people with potential to be Hokage is unnecessary, but I was thinking, we've listed several other people as having held the position, if only temporarily and the Trivia is running a bit long, so could I add a sub-section titled "Non-Canon Hokage" and throw in links to them with a short explanation, it might make the whole think look a bit neater. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 15:30, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

Danzo's info

Can anyone edit some of Danzo's info? Instead of "He was later appointed as the official Sixth Hokage Candidate (六代目火影候補, Rokudaime Hokage Kōho) after Pain's invasion, but died before he officially entered the office of Hokage." Should be: "He was later appointed as the official Sixth Hokage Candidate (六代目火影候補, Rokudaime Hokage Kōho) after Pain's invasion, but died before he be approved by the jōnin of the village to become officially Hokage.Dragon NJMB (talk) 00:39, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

That sort of implies he would have been approved by the jōnin, which isn't necessarily the case. I don't see what's wrong with the current statement. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:45, May 30, 2013 (UTC)
To me, both state he was going to take office because he was approved. The first implies he was already approved, but just didn't make it back in time to officially take office. The second at least gives a slight notion to the idea that they had not voted him in yet. --Taynio (talk) 02:16, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Omnibender, this was extracted from the Hokage's article Overview: "...but if the old Hokage dies or is incapacitated before being able to do so, the Fire Daimyō will appoint a Hokage Candidate upon the recommendation of the Konoha council and the Fire Daimyō council. Afterwards, the candidate will need to be approved by the jōnin of the village to become officially Hokage. After being approved, they move into the Hokage Residence to live in and have their faces carved out in the monument behind it..." Dragon NJMB (talk) 21:00, June 10, 2013 (UTC)

"Enter office" there means exercise the position, not move into the Hokage's Residence. Saying he was a candidate already points out he had yet to officially become Hokage. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:29, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

Meaning of Hokage

In Japanese, "hokage" means fire light. Although it is true that the letter "kage" normally means shadow, the meaning changes from shadow to light in specific combinations of kanjis. Other examples are tsukikage -> moonlight and hoshikage -> starlight. 220.100.22.39 (talk) 16:35, June 22, 2013 (UTC)


Chapter 627

On the last panel of said chapter it says "The strongest soilders are ready"/ "The biggest of the big fish about to flex their might" (depending on your translation). Now I may be reading into it a little too much but does this confirm that Hokages 1-4 are among the strongest in history? Well actually the 2nd and 4th since 1st and 3rd are already considered among them. I'm just saying since Tobirama constantly fought evenly and eventually defeated Izuna (who was noted to be one of the greats among the Uchiha) and Minato is already considered one of the most gifted and on top both are arguably the strongest Kage of their generation. However like I said just very intense speculation. --Youngjusticeplayer007 (talk) 18:11, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, Hokage are the strongest Kage. Save Tsunade of course. I mean:
  • Hashirama = god of shinobi
  • Tobirama = very powerful, inventor of modern ninjutsu basically (shadow clones, flying thunder god, edo tensei, possibly body flicker etc.), skilled with Suiton
  • Hiruzen = god of shinobi, mastered all Konoha techniques
  • Minato = young prodigy Hokage, one who can fight Orochimaru on equal ground despite the greater experience and bodily modifications of the latter
