The duty of overseeing and defending the village falls to the Hokage, the most accomplished Shinobi in all of Konoha (the Hidden Leaf Village). Even though Naruto exposed us to a variety of other Kage, such as Raikage and Kazekage, we have attentively seen exceptional people occupy the Hokage position in the anime and manga. In Konoha's history, there have been eight Hokages in all, ranging from Hashirama Senju to Shikamaru at this time. Every Hokage made a significant contribution to the development of Leaf Village and the Fourth Shinobi War. Who, however, is the all-time strongest Hokage? We are here to put a stop to that never-ending discussion. The Hokage in Naruto are listed below, going from worst to finest.
Warning for Spoilers: There are spoilers about the and characters in Naruto in this page. To prevent spoiling your experience, we recommend that you read the manga or watch the anime.
8. The Eighth Hokage, Shikamaru Nara
Picture courtesy of Ukyō Kodachi, Masashi Kishimoto, and Mikio Ikemoto (Viz, Shonen Jump) for Boruto Two Blue Vortex – Chapter 1.Kindly refrain from preparing an assault on me because I put Shikamaru at the bottom of the list, keyboard warriors. As Naruto became a Hokage and led Konoha, we all believed that we would never see another one in the foreseeable future. However, in the brand-new manga Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, things are heating up (find out where to read Boruto Chapter 1 here). After a sequence of events, Shikamaru is now the Eighth Hokage of Konoha. Because of this, the fan base has already criticized him for being the least powerful Hokage to date. Yes, Shikamaru falls at the bottom in comparison to the previous Hokages throughout history. He is a wonderful leader for other reasons, though—hear me out!It's possible that Shikamaru lacks the gods' level of combat skill. However, he is a very intelligent person who has the strength of mind to overcome his obstacles. His intelligence is often underestimated by the fanbase, and it is precisely what is required in addition to fighting prowess to govern the village as a Hokage. It is evidence that Shikamaru served as a commander in battle before becoming became a Hokage adviser. Despite having a lower total strength, he nevertheless stands out for his intelligence and is now rated last.
7. The Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake
Here, let's be sincere! In many ways, the characters below clearly surpass Kakashi. Choosing between Tsunade and Kakashi was the most difficult decision I had to make since they were both exceptional ninjas in their own way. However, Lady Tsunade has a little advantage over him. That being said, Kakashi will always be my favorite character after Naruto, who, like his sensei, is still feared by many countries.Kakashi of the Sharingan was adored by all of the show's strong characters, from Itachi to Pain, which says much about his abilities. Kakashi Hatake, the pupil of Yellow Flash and the son of Whitefang, was a remarkable genius from the beginning . It turned out to be true that everyone had anticipated he would become the Hokage at some point.Kakashi is an all-arounder since he had the Sharingan eye, which significantly enhanced his prowess, and all the adaptable skills that the strongest Shinobi need. Kakashi will thus always rank among the greatest Hokage, if not the strongest.
6. The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade
The fifth Hokage of Konoha was Tsunade, regarded as the finest medical-nin in history. She was the first female character to ever become a Hokage in Naruto. Not only was she the strongest Kunoichi on the planet, but she was also descended from the formidable Senju and Uzumaki clans in Naruto.Tsunade was a well-known and powerful Sannin, one of the three Legendary Sannins. With her Strength of a Hundred Seal, she was unstoppable and her "Creation Rebirth" approach changed the game. She matched up strength-for-power with some of the most formidable personalities, earning her the title of world's greatest nin. Hashirama would have been proud of her for being able to combat Madara without backtracking. Tsunade is among the best Hokage we have ever seen as a result.
5. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi
The first Hokage we ever met in the Naruto manga and anime was Hiruzen Sarutobi. He succeeded the Hashirama brothers as the head of Leaf Village, and he is the only Shinobi after Hashirama to be called the "God of Shinobi."“. Not one, but all three of the Legendary Sannins (who went on to become some of the strongest Shinobis in the world) had him as their primary instructor. For many years, Hiruzen served as Konoha's sage and pillar of wisdom, encouraging many young Shinobis to reach their full potential.Tobirama, the second Hokage, personally chose Hiruzen for the role of Hokage. Hiruzen was considered the prodigy of the Sarutobi clan before our current generation of Shinobi, and he certainly lived up to that reputation. Not only was Hiruzen frighteningly powerful in his youth, but he was much more so as he aged. He battled Orochi with two Hokage who had been reborn. Orochimaru himself said that he would have slain Hiruzen if the latter had been just ten years younger. As one of the strongest Hokage we have ever seen in the series, Hiruzen was a pillar of strength for the Konoha.
4. The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju
In the Naruto series, Tobirama Senju succeeded his brother Hashirama as Hokage. He was the Hidden Leaf Village's second Hokage. Tobirama was seen as one of the best Hokage ever, and his strength and morality made him no less than his brother. It was Tobirama who made all the political infrastructure in Konoha functional. It is entirely his fault that the Hidden Leaf developed into a civilized and well-respected community, building upon the foundation laid by his brother.Let's explore his abilities in more detail now that we've covered his Hokage accomplishments. Tobirama was without a doubt one of Konoha's most cunning and formidable Shinobi. He invented many formidable jutsu, including Impure World Reincarnation, Flying Thunder God Technique, and Shadow Clone Technique. Tobirama was well-known for his proficiency in both space-time ninjutsu and the Water style.Tobirama's ninjutsu was more potent because of his extraordinary expertise. If we evaluate Hokage in Naruto just on accomplishments, he was unquestionably one of the finest. He is listed a bit lower on our list since the anime doesn't go into much detail regarding his actual abilities. Although we would really want to see a spin-off manga for his character, the next Hokage will instead get one.
3. The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze
Because of his amazing abilities, Minato Namikaze was known as the Yellow Flash of Konoha. Though he gave his life to save his child and the town, he went on to become the Fourth Hokage. He was another Konoha-born prodigy who inspired dread in the hearts of numerous countries. It may surprise you to learn that in the Third Great Ninja War, foes were ordered to run at the mere sight of him. That's how incredibly strong Naruto's father was, and we wish he had been on screen more often to see him at his best. We do, however, know that Minato's spin-off manga will soon be available.Minato perfected his abilities, particularly in Space-Time Ninjutsu, which gave him the moniker "Yellow Flash." He was skilled in Senjutsu, Fūinjutsu, Shurikenjutsu, and Ninjutsu, among other arts. Additionally, he invented Naruto's well-known Rasengan technique. He is also capable of performing the Jinchūriki Transformations since, before to his passing, he worked as a Jinchūriki for the Nine-tailed fox. Minato was one of the greatest Hokage in Naruto overall, and if he had lived longer, he could have been the strongest of all time.
2. The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju
When there is a disagreement among Naruto fans over strength scaling, Hashirama Senju is always brought up. This man's level of power during his era established the standard for subsequent Shinobis. You now see why he earned the title of God of Shinobi. Given that he was the first reincarnation of Ashura, this guy had superhuman strength. Using Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he battled Madara and managed to catch the eight and nine-tailed creatures on his own. He even engaged in combat with the Nine-Tailed Fox later.Being the most well-known Wood Release user , Hashirama Senju's best core strength was this. He also has extraordinary Senjutsu talent. Together, these allowed him to build the True Several Thousand Hands methods, enormous humanoid beings, etc. He used his skills to battle tailed monsters and the formidable Susanoo. Hashirama was the greatest Hokage of his day and an inspiration to all Shinobi.
1. The Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki
Since Naruto Uzumaki is the most powerful shinobi in history, he easily outclasses everyone on any power ranking. Naruto's persistence and perseverance in the face of hardship allowed him to rise to the rank of Seventh Hokage of Konoha (Hidden Leaf Village). Naruto's reputation as "the strongest shinobi ever" tells you a lot about his extraordinary skills and prowess. Naruto is without a doubt the greatest Hokage; even the other Hokage would acknowledge this, given that he is the primary character.Being a master of Ninjutsu, he possesses a large and powerful store of chakras that greatly help him while performing his many Rasengan techniques. Not only do his Jinchriki Transformations excel, but Naruto also inherited Asura's chakra. Naruto's many forms, including as the Tailed Beast Mode, the Sage Mode Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, and the ultimate Baryon Mode in Boruto (see Boruto filler list below), represent the pinnacle of his powers. As a result, Naruto is the strongest Hokage to have been born in Konoha.Commonly Asked Questions Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, Tsunade, Kakashi Hatake, and Naruto Uzumaki are the seven hokages, listed in chronological sequence. Shikamaru has just recently been added to the roster as the Eighth Hokage. Thus, there are now eight Hokages in all.Hokage literally means "fire shadow." The guardian and leader of Konoha, the Hidden Leaf village, is referred to as the Hokage in the Naruto anime series.Afterwards, Naruto Uzumaki developed into the greatest Hokage of all time. Until his son Boruto develops into a stronger and more powerful person than his father, this record will stand.
