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 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. According to chapter 81 of Boruto Manga (chapter 1 of Boruto Two Blue Vortex), Shikamaru Nara is the new Hokage in town. 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.

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.

[10] 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.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: 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).

In the Genjutsu World seen in Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie, Kizashi Haruno was the Fourth Hokage. Like the real Fourth Hokage, he gave his life to save the village. 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.

Jiraiya was considered for the Hokage position multiple times: first prior to the Third's retirement, [12] again after the Fourth's death, and once again after the Third's death. [13] He refused each time because he believed he couldn't give the office the attention it deserved. Shikamaru with his sheer intelligence can lead the Konoha village in the right way. But when it comes to battle, that’s when the trouble arises. I’m afraid Shikamaru can’t stand his ground in the battle when compared to the previous Hokages. See where Shikamaru ranks vs the other Hokages in our Strongest Hokages in History article. Thus, Shikamaru becoming one was no fluke, and let’s see what changes he will bring as the leader of Konoha now. 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. During his life, the Third Hokage was said to be the strongest Hokage in the village's history as well as strongest Kage of his time. [6] [7] [8] Years later, the Seventh Hokage was recognised in the same way. [9]

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.

Despite not holding any notable political position, her importance to Konohagakure's history can be traced through each of her careful stitches. According to Hinata Hyuga, the Unnamed Seamstress was responsible for making each Hokage's signature cloak since Hashirama was elected Konoha's leader.
