Hokage

The Hokages
Hokages (火影, Fire Shadow) Are the leaders of Konoha and They are are generally the strongest shinobi of Konoha; however, Some are not aways the strongest Shinobi in the village.

There have been five Shinobi who had gain this title so far.

1.Shodai Hokage
The First Hokage was the founder of Konaha and he was the older brother of the Second, and the grandfather of Tsunade who currently is the Fifth Hokage of Konaha.He saw the people of Konoha as a part of him,and his legacy takes on firm route in the village.

Later it was revealed that Orochimaru had used his DNA for his own genetic experiments. Orochimaru implanted his DNA into sixty test subjects and the only one that survived the experiment was Yamato. Orochimaru wanted his mokuton technique and his abilty to control Tailed Beasts. During some point in his life he fought Kakuzu but the nature of this fight is unknown at this point

He is later revived from the dead by Orochimaru using Impure World Resurrection to fight the Third Hokage during the Destruction of Konaha arc.

2.Nidaime Hokage
The Second Hokage is the younger brother to the first Hokage and Tsunade's great-uncle. He was also The teacher of the Third and current Elders of the village ( minus Danzo). He was very proud of his superior abilties such as the ability to perform water jutsu without a water source.

He is later revived from the dead by Orochimaru using Impure World Resurrection to fight the Third Hokage during the Destruction of Konaha arc.

4.Yondaime Hokage
The Fourth Hokage, was the brave ninja responsible for sealing the demon fox inside Naruto. He is said to be the greatest ninja Konoha had ever produced. Though his skills in combat go largely unwitnessed, he was considered dangerous enough that a flee-on-sight order was given in regards to him during the Third Ninja War. Before performing the seal on the demon fox, the Fourth said that he did not want Naruto to be viewed as the container of a monster, but as a hero who saved the village from annihilation. This request, however, was not honored by the villagers, who still held much resentment for the demon fox. He was a student of Jiraiya along with two other unknown Genin, and was the sensei of Hatake Kakashi, Obito Uchiha and Rin.

The Fourth shares many similarities with Naruto, including the same spiky blond hair, blue eyes, same techniques, the same blood type (B), and overall similar personalities as noted by Jiraiya. Uchiha Itachi noted Naruto to be the Fourth's "legacy". Furthermore, when Jiraiya was trying to force Naruto to release his demon fox chakra, he pushed Naruto off of a cliff, saying, "Forgive me, Fourth," as he did so. Beyond these, there are several minor comparisons made consistently throughout the series. Any hints to his real name, history, or family relations have been carefully avoided, making his past one of the biggest mysteries of the series.

The Fourth created several distinctive techniques, including the Flying Thunder God Technique, which essentially allowed him to teleport to any location with the use of a special seal. He also created the Rasegan, a technique that does not rely on hand seals, but instead uses a concentration of spinning chakra in the palm that causes immense damage to its victim on contact. Later in the series it is revealed that this signature technique is actually incomplete. The Fourth had planned to add his own nature manipulation training to the Rasengan, making it even more powerful, but couldn't manage to combine the two prior to his premature death.
