Talk:Kage

In the list of Kage-level village leaders who aren't Kage, shouldn't Konan be included too, being both a village leader and kage level? 71.178.101.200 (talk) 21:16, 7 August 2009 (UTC) shes not that strong because jiraiya easily took her on and he was considered kage-levelNarutosagemaster (talk) 21:20, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Jiraiya was able to temporarily disable her jutsu because he knew her weakness and had a jutsu to exploit it, but she was not out of action or injured in the least, and that's Jiraiya, one of the most powerful ninja in the series and strong even for a kage/s-class ninja. Him beating her doesn't make her not qualify, all of the Akatsuki are S-class criminals.71.191.20.162 (talk) 21:32, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Kage commonalities
Kishimoto doesn't seem to be very creative with the overall descriptions of the various kage. Each kage has something in common with other kage of the same number.

1. Of course, the First -kage of each village founded their respective villages and were considered of incredible power. The First Hokage brought together the Senju and Uchiha clans and was hailed as the most powerful ninja of his time, and the First Kazekage brought together the desert-dwelling ninja. It can be assumed this applied for the First Mizukage, First Raikage, and First Tsuchikage (manga-canon).

2. The Third -kage of each village were elderly men with great power. The Third Hokage was nearly 70 years old and undefeated until he sacrificed himself to seal Orochimaru's arms, the Third Kazekage was regarded as the most powerful, and the Third Tsuchikage is a tiny old man who successfully fought Madara Uchiha in the past

3. The Fourth -kage were middle-aged men with connections to the bijuu: the Fourth Hokage (Minato Namikaze) and Fourth Kazekage were the fathers to Naruto and Gaara (both jinchuriki), the Fourth Raikage is the older brother to Killer Bee, the Fourth Mizukage was the jinchuriki for the Three-Tailed Beast. As well, the Fourth Hokage, Mizukage, and Raikage had/have blond hair.

4. There's a little more variation here. The Fifth Hokage and Mizukage are both women, while Gaara (Fifth Kazekage) and the Fifth Mizukage are both very young by Kage standards.

By the looks of his puppet, Third Kazekage wasn't an old man. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:41, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

If Sandaime Kazekage is still alive and undergoing aging today, he'll be as old as Sarutobi more or less. Sasori killed Sandaime Kazekage about 20 years before Shippuden. Sasori was around 35 in Shippuden. It means Sasori was 15 when he killed the Sandaime Kazekage. By the looks of it, Sandaime Kazekage looks like he's around 40 to 50 when he was killed. After 20 years, which is the Shippuden time, he'd be 60 or 70. Just my opinion though.
 * Well, if you look at it that way, then all the first Kage would be very, very old. All the second Kage as well.
 * Seriously, though. The similarities between the first Kage are to be expected. That's how they became the first Kage of their respective villages; by founding them
 * The third Kage similarities are already a lot weaker. Both the Third Hokage and Third Tsuchikage are very old. Both the Third Hokage and the Third Kazekage were the strongest of their Kage lineages. There is no similarity between all three of them.
 * The Fourth Hokage was not middle-aged, he was only in his mid-twenties. The Tailed-Beast connection is a similarity they all share, but that is to be expected as well. Given the chronology of the series, the fourth kage are the ones that influenced the events that started the plot of the series. The Tailed Beasts are vital to that.
 * Three of them may have light hair, but there is still a huge difference between their hair colours.
 * The Fifth Mizukage isn't young by Kage standards. She's in her thirties. The Fourth Kazekage and the Fourth Raikage are only about a decade older and both were most likely already in power in their thirties. The Fourth Hokage was a lot younger than the Fifth Mizukage. The Third Hokage was most likely a lot younger as well. The Fifth Kazekage is about half her age.
 * The similarities are sketchy at best and certainly not the result of a lack of originality. --ShounenSuki (talk 22:53, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

Third hokage was the youngest hokage possibly at the age of 15 or something, followed by gaara, and minato namikaze aslo became hokage at a young age, Their the youngest ones.

Naming
Shouldn't be in trivia section that only the hokage were caled by they number (shodai,nidaime,etc) and the mizukage tsuchikage, raikage and the kazekage wasn't (in theyr village, of course)   sorry the bad speelling. --The ultimate fan of NARUTO welimer2 23:15, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Some one fix this

Co-Kage
Is it possible for 2 ninjas to be kage at the same time? I dont mean going into retirment and another going in, i mean 2 people being co-kages.Scott sswag (talk) 09:27, February 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * No friend that would only lead to problems. Actually I won't say it's impossible just highly improbable --Cerez (talk) 11:41, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Family
In the article it says that jinchuriki are often family of the kages to avoid betrayal and consolidate strength. Shouldn't we add Shodai hokages wife? She offered to be the host of the kyuubi and she had a connection with two of the hokages ToonLiger (talk) 05:48, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
