Sarutobi Clan
After Madara Uchiha activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Senju Clan Tobirama, who was Edo Tensei body, and the other three Naruto were unaffected. Tobirama originally intended to use kunai to cut the vines binding those affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but no one woke up, and new vines quickly wrapped around them.
However, the situation had changed; the God Tree was rapidly absorbing the chakra surrounding the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Tobirama then sensed that although Madara's chakra had disappeared, new chakra had appeared at the same time, and decided to go and check it out with the other three Naruto.
To find out the cause of Madara's death, Tobirama planned to use Madara's lower body to perform the Impure World Edo Tensei, thus forcing Madara to reveal the current battle situation. However, Hashirama rejected this plan due to the issue of the living sacrifice. Subsequently, the four Naruto tried other methods. When Hashirama touched Madara's failed lower body, in an instant, the Sage of Six Paths, sensing the fusion of Indra, Ashura, and the Nine-Tails' chakra, appeared before the four Naruto and explained the current Naruto in detail. After Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed, Tobirama, along with the Sage of Six Paths and the other 16 deceased Kage, used the Summoning Technique to transfer Team 7, the nine Tailed Beasts, and the dying Madara Uchiha from the Original Ball Space back to the ninja world. The Sage of Six Paths Five Kage then dispelled the Edo Tensei, and their souls returned to the Pure Land.
The Third Naruto of Konoha in the Land of Fire, and a direct disciple of the Second Naruto, Senju Clan Tobirama, he was skilled in combining ninjutsu of five different attributes, proficient in all of Konoha's ninjutsu, and was known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu." He trained the legendary "Legendary Sannin," who Might-Shaker the Shinobi World.
Background: Hiruzen Sarutobi was the Naruto who held the highest power in the Land of Fire for the longest period in Shinobi World history, and also the longest-lived Naruto, ushering in the golden age of Konoha. He tragically sacrificed himself during Orochimaru's destruction of Konoha while using the Reaper Death Seal.
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was resurrected by Orochimaru using the Edo Tensei technique. He went to the battlefield with the other three resurrected Naruto to support the Allied Shinobi Forces. After the war, his soul returned to the Pure Land.
The Third Naruto of Konoha, he succeeded to the position shortly after the end of the First Shinobi World War. He was proficient in ninjutsu of all five chakra natures and was known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu".
He was an outstanding ninja, beloved by the villagers and possessing excellent leadership skills, who bravely stood up to protect the village. Although he was very strong, he was always too lenient with others, which led to irreparable consequences. Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing the Naruto robe, often wore a black, tight-fitting combat suit in battle, a ninja hat, and a small mustache. The hat had green layered armor on both sides and an extra-long strap at the back. His combat suit had silver armor extending from the shoulders to the back, with the character "fire" inscribed on the back armor.
He wore two vertical ninja tool pouches on his back, tied at the waist with a purple silk ribbon, and had mesh wrist guards on his arms and calves. His right arm had a green layered armor plate. During his tenure, he wore a white Naruto robe with a red ninja uniform underneath and a Naruto hat. In his old age, Hiruzen Sarutobi's hair and mustache turned white, his face was covered with wrinkles, and he always had a pipe in his mouth.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was a notorious heavy smoker. While doing clerical work, he would often hold his pipe, exhaling wisps of purple smoke. His dying words to Orochimaru were. "You are obsessed with ninjutsu, and proud of it. This punishment is most suitable for you. I will take away all your jutsu."
From a young age, Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to combine ninjutsu of five different natures, demonstrating talent surpassing even that of the Second Naruto. Furthermore, Hiruzen Sarutobi could use over a thousand ninjutsu techniques. He had honed his skills to perfection in the five nature transformations, secret techniques, taijutsu, and genjutsu, and had also thoroughly researched all the techniques of Konoha Village, earning him the title of "Professor."
Tobirama a child Hiruzen Sarutobi, son of Sasuke Sarutobi. He displayed exceptional abilities from a young age and grew up under the strict tutelage and meticulous care of the Second Naruto. He, along with Shimura Danzo, Kagami Uchiha, Torifu Akimichi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane, were classmates at the Konoha Ninja Academy, directly under the leadership of the Second Naruto, Senju Clan Tobirama. After being promoted to Jonin, the six of them joined Naruto 'Tobirama elite guard unit.
During missions, Hiruzen Sarutobi usually operated in a team with Shimura Danzo. He and Danzō had a deep bond, and the two considered each other rivals and constantly competed. In his youth, during his time as a Jonin, Hiruzen Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi the legendary Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha— Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru.
The First Shinobi World War Shinobi World War: During the First Shinobi World War, Kinkaku and Ginkaku suddenly staged a coup at the alliance ceremony between the Raikage and Naruto. Using the power of the Six Paths Ninja Tools and the Nine-Tails' chakra, they killed the Second Raikage and severely wounded the Second Naruto. Subsequently, the heavily wounded Senju Clan Tobirama led his subordinates Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, Shimura Danzo, Torifu Akimichi, Kagami Uchiha to break through the encirclement. Kinkaku Ginkaku led the elite of the Kinkaku Force in pursuit. The group decided that one of them would act as bait to lure the enemy and give the rest of their teammates time to escape.
Tobirama secretly tests his subordinates to choose the right successor. Danzō, though wanting to volunteer as bait, hesitates at the crucial moment due to cowardice. Hiruzen Sarutobi steps forward, offering to be the bait. Tobirama, for the future of Konoha, Tobirama decides to act as bait himself. Before departing, he praises Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions and appoints him as the next Naruto. Hiruzen Sarutobi then sacrifices himself to protect Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.
Hiruzen Sarutobi Naruto Naruto. After the death of the Second Naruto, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzō worked together to make Konoha the strongest ninja village once again. Several years later, with the support of veteran ninjas such as Mito Uzumaki and Sasuke Sarutobi, Hiruzen Sarutobi succeeded as Naruto. By this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had grown a beard. As Naruto, he protected the village and the country, deeply inheriting the will of the Second Naruto.
After becoming Naruto, Hiruzen Sarutobi Danzō as Naruto assistant and made Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane high-level advisors to Konoha, responsible for making decisions on major village affairs and managing Konoha's administrative organs. Hiruzen Sarutobi was a great ninja who deeply loved the village and protected its residents. He had outstanding teaching abilities and was known as the Professor of Ninjutsu. His proposals were also incorporated into the Ninjutsu Academy curriculum.
He perfected the Ninja Academy's educational system, leading the village to a peaceful and prosperous era; he can be said to be a symbol of Konoha Village.
Following the Third Shinobi World War, with concessions made by Minato, Konoha Konoha Iwagakure. To take responsibility for the Konoha ninja who sacrificed their lives in the war, and under pressure from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Konoha leadership, the Third Naruto voluntarily resigned from Naruto position. He then passed the Naruto title to Jiraiya Namikaze, a student of Minato Namikaze.
The Nine-Tails' Attack' Nine-Tails' Attack: During the Nine-Tails' attack on the village, the Third Naruto led the village's elite ninja in an attempt to stop Nine-Tails, even managing to force it out of the village. However, he ultimately witnessed and could not prevent the Fourth Hokage Naruto from sealing the Tailed Beasts with his life. His wife, Biwako Sarutobi, was also killed by the Masked Man attacker, Obito Uchiha, while caring for Kushina Uzumaki during her childbirth.
Teammate Torifu Akimichi succumbed to his injuries while fighting the Nine-Tails. The Fourth Hokage Naruto was reinstated and reinstated as Naruto. Although the Fourth Hokage successfully repelled the Nine-Tails, the sacrifices were immense. Following this, the Konoha leadership and the village ninja discussed choosing a suitable Naruto. Shikaku Nara proposed that Minato's successor be chosen, but Koharu Utatane believed their experience was insufficient to lead. At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi forward, volunteering for the role, and subsequently received support from Konoha leadership, including Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.
Orochimaru Hiruzen Sarutobi was the Naruto who held the highest power in the Land of Fire for the longest period in Shinobi World history, and also the longest-lived Naruto. He couldn't bear to see Orochimaru researching forbidden techniques. Soon after, everyone in the village, from genin to chunin, and even jonin of the ANBU, went missing. Hiruzen Sarutobi received intelligence that Orochimaru was acting suspiciously, so he led ANBU members to the forbidden technique base to attack Orochimaru. Hiruzen Sarutobi initially wanted to kill him, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it, and thus allowed Orochimaru to escape.
The Rescue Operation: The Uchiha Coup. Several years later, Hiruzen Sarutobi, now in his old age, finds himself facing Hiruzen Sarutobi coup d'état by the Uchiha Clan, fueled by their discontent with the Konoha. Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzō, and Konoha Danzō realize they cannot allow the Uchiha Clan to seize power. They utilize the Masked Man Obito Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and Itachi to prepare a countermeasure and devise a solution.
This led to the tragic massacre of the Uchiha Clan. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzō then recruited numerous elite members of the ANBU and Root, who went to the Uchiha Clan region and the Konoha Military Police Force headquarters to finish off the survivors. Although the Uchiha Clan was wiped out, this prevented Konoha from engaging in civil war and preserved the village's peace. Due to the Uchiha Clan Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzō was confined and stripped of all power.
Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that the police force could not be confined to one clan; it should recruit widely. For the future of the village, it was essential to place the right people in the right positions. He then established a new police force, using Hiruzen Sarutobi's Danzō members and his ANBU members to control it. Twelve years later, during the third official Chunin Exams Chunin Exams, Hiruzen Sarutobi specially invited the Fourth Hokage Wind Shadow of Sunagakure, an ally of the Land of Wind, to watch the elimination tournament and set up a seat next to him.
During this period, Namiashi Raido served as Hiruzen's bodyguard. Because Uchiha Sasuke failed to arrive for the exam, Hiruzen repeatedly postponed the exam time, but Sasuke still did not participate. Subsequently, Hiruzen decided to disqualify him, but due to the persuasion of the Fourth Kazekage, Hiruzen abandoned this idea.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi failed to realize that the Fourth Hokage Wind Shadow at this time was merely Orochimaru in disguise... As Konoha collapsed, Orochimaru, Gaara as the Wind Shadow, targeted Orochimaru and entered a berserk state, launching an attack on Konoha using the Otogakure Village and the Sunagakure Village.
The Wind Shadow and his subordinates captured the Third Naruto and brought him to Kikyo Castle. The Wind Shadow revealed his true identity as his student, Orochimaru. Orochimaru's subordinates, the Sound Four, formed the "Four Violet Flames Formation" on the castle tower, surrounding Orochimaru and the Third Naruto as their battleground. The flames generated by the barrier prevented the Konoha ANBU from entering. The Third Hokage knew that escaping from this formation would not be easy.
Orochimaru shed tears before the battle. The Third Hokage thought that he would still be sad for killing his teacher, but Orochimaru claimed that he was just yawning and that's why he cried. This left Kakashi, Guy, and the ANBU speechless. He then challenged the Third Naruto (unlike his subordinate Kabuto Yakushi, who emphasized to Team 7 during the second Chunin Exams that surprise attacks were the way of ninjas).
In the fierce battle against Orochimaru, the Third Hokage used the "Ninjutsu: Tile Shuriken" to attack Orochimaru, but Orochimaru easily dodged it. The Third Hokage immediately countered with the "Hidden Shadow Snake Hands"; however, this was just his "Earth Substitute".
After the Third Hokage attacked Orochimaru with "Earth Release: Earth Flow River," "Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet," and "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet," Orochimaru was no pushover. Although he dared not underestimate the Third Hokage again, he still boasted that he would be easily defeated. In the ensuing battle between master and disciple Orochimaru demanded that the Third Hokage engage in a serious final battle to settle the score. The Third Hokage, in turn, "accepted the invitation" and removed his Naruto uniform, revealing his ninja battle armor.
However, just as the Third Hokage used the "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique," Orochimaru resurrected the First and Second Naruto using the Edo Tensei Naruto. Their wills were completely erased, forcing them to participate in the battle, and the two were unable to unleash their original strength.
During the battle, the First and Second Naruto rushed towards Hiruzen Sarutobi Naruto engaged him in taijutsu attacks, but Hiruzen Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi them. Hiruzen Sarutobi then used "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet," spewing flames from his mouth towards the two brothers. Facing the Fire Release attack, the Second Naruto used Water Release: Water Wall, violently unleashing a wall of water like ocean waves to block Hiruzen Sarutobi's Fire Release attack! Immediately afterward, the Second Naruto clasped his hands together and used Water Release Wave, instantly summoning water that spun and rose rapidly like a tornado. The water then spread like a waterfall, crashing down on Hiruzen Sarutobi. Hiruzen Sarutobi used Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall to build a giant rock to block the flood; however, as he returned to the castle from the rock, he was punched and kicked by the First Naruto and then forcibly dragged into the water by the Second Naruto. He managed to escape back to the earth wall after breaking free.
The Second Naruto used Water Release: Water Severing Wave to unleash multiple water jets that shattered the earthen wall, Hiruzen Sarutobi landed on the castle tower once more.
At this moment, the First Naruto used the Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence technique to rapidly grow multiple trees from the ground. The trees were uprooted and created a forest in an instant, with their branches tightly binding Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands and feet. Unable to break free from the entanglement, Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned the summoning beast "Monkey King" Enma using the "Summoning Technique" and transformed it into the "Adamantine Staff" to cut the binding branches.
With the assistance of his summoned beast, Enma, the Enma King, Hiruzen Sarutobi used the Wood Release technique, which the First Naruto had transformed into, as his weapon, the Adamantine Staff, to fight Orochimaru, who had taken the Kusanagi Sword, the Sky Sword, from his mouth. The two fought to a standstill for a time. However, the First and Second Hokage then attacked one after another, and Hiruzen could not fight all three at the same time. He could only leave explosive tags on the limbs of the First and Second Hokage before being kicked away by Orochimaru.
Orochimaru approached the Third Hokage, who had been knocked onto the castle tower, and expressed his disappointment. The Third Hokage was moved to tears as he recalled Orochimaru's childhood. However, Hiruzen Sarutobi soon regained his fighting spirit and attacked Orochimaru with agile movements. Enma also reached out from his staff, attempting to strangle Orochimaru. Orochimaru managed to dodge Enma's attack by turning into mud, and revealed his second true face to Hiruzen Sarutobi —the face of a young female ninja who had successfully possessed a body through the "Living Corpse Reincarnation."
Orochimaru stated that this was merely a vessel for his second reincarnation, and his next target was Sasuke Uchiha, who possessed the Sharingan. Hiruzen detonated the explosive tags on the First and Second Hokage to successfully stop their attacks; however, their "Reanimated" bodies could be immediately repaired.
After repairing their bodies, the two Naruto continued their attack on their beloved disciple. The First Hokage used Wood Release to try and grab Hiruzen Sarutobi again, but fortunately, Enma transformed into a "Adamantine Prison Wall" to protect him in time.
The First Hokage also used the "Illusion Technique: Dark Travel Technique" (in the anime, it's used by the Second Hokage) to trap Hiruzen Sarutobi in darkness and launch an attack. Due to Hiruzen Sarutobi 'Hiruzen Sarutobi advanced age and weakened state, his strength was no longer what it once was. Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to use the forbidden technique Orochimaru, the Reaper Death Seal. Hiruzen Sarutobi then used two Shadow Clones to seal the First and Second Naruto, while his own body sealed Naruto. However, during the sealing process, Hiruzen Sarutobi unfortunately pierced Orochimaru from behind with his Kusanagi sword, rendering Hiruzen Sarutobi unable to extract Orochimaru's soul. Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to use the Death God to cripple Orochimaru's hands, preventing him from ever performing Orochimaru seals again to use ninjutsu.
Hiruzen Sarutobi berated Orochimaru, saying, "You are obsessed with ninjutsu and arrogant about it. This punishment is most suitable for you. I will take away all your jutsu."
Determined to use the forbidden technique Reaper Death Seal, Hiruzen Sarutobi believed that Konoha's "Will of Fire" would be passed down. So, as he fell, he still had a smile on his face and saw Orochimaru from his childhood again before falling into a deep sleep.
His summoning beast, Enma, vanished instantly upon losing its summoner, and Orochimaru, also rendered powerless, retreated under the protection of the Sound Four. When the Konoha ninja arrived, he was found lying on the castle tower, having passed away peacefully.
His funeral was later presided over by his childhood teammates Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane. The entire village was in mourning. The genin recalled the fun times they had with the Third Hokage, but the memories only made them sadder. They could only offer a flower at his grave as a final blessing to the deceased.
Orochimaru passed away with a smile during the Fourth Shinobi World War. He obtained the Death God Mask from the Uzumaki Clan Storage Hall, cut open his abdomen to release the souls devoured by the Death God, regained his hands, and used the four White Zetsu clones within Sasuke as living sacrifices to resurrect the past Naruto through the Edo Tensei technique. During this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi told Sasuke everything he knew about Itachi, the Uchiha Clan, and Konoha. After telling him everything, Sasuke decided to protect Konoha, so Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other three Naruto rushed to the front lines to fight.
After being Hiruzen Sarutobi using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Edo Tensei rushed to the battlefield and, together with the other three Naruto, activated the Four Red Yang Formation to seal the Ten-Tails. At this moment, the Ten-Tails released a Tailed Beast Ball, attempting to break the barrier. The Third Naruto, already on high alert and prepared, successfully defended against the Ten-Tails 'Ten-Tails attack, causing it to suffer the consequences. After arriving at the battlefield, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled proudly. Seeing Naruto Sasuke, Hiruzen Sarutobi Sakura reminded him of his disciples Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade. Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi declared that a new era had arrived, and told Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura to Sasuke forward.
At this moment Obito Uchiha used the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal to absorb the Ten-Tails into his body, forming a sphere, which then shattered. Obito Uchiha successfully became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, breaking through Hashirama's Myōjinmon and using the red flames forming a hand on his back to tear apart the Four Red Yang Formation. After the battle with the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Hiruzen Sarutobi witnessed the Second Naruto's invention of the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags. Knowing the Second Naruto's power, Hiruzen Sarutobi warned Minato to run.
To analyze Obito Uchiha's moves and abilities, Hiruzen Sarutobi broken free of the main battle, used a giant Shuriken Shadow Clone to Shuriken Shadow Clone Obito in his Ten-Tails Jinchuriki Obito Uchiha alone. Unfortunately, Obito Uchiha shattered his upper body with Yin–Yang Release sphere, but he regenerated on his own. Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha had activated Infinite Tsukuyomi, and the roots of the God Tree were growing wildly, draining the chakra of the Allied Shinobi Forces wherever they went. At the critical moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi used his Ruyi Jingu Bang to sever the roots of the God Tree's split branches, rescuing Naruto from having his chakra nearly drained by the Ten-Tails.
After rescuing Naruto Hiruzen Sarutobi used the Second Naruto's Flying Thunder God Technique to reach the Allied Shinobi Forces' battlefield. Back on the battlefield, Hiruzen Sarutobi teamed up with Orochimaru to fight the God Tree's split forms. The master and apprentice first used Orochimaru's Hidden Shadow Snake Hands to entangle the God Tree's split forms, then Hiruzen Sarutobi used his Ruyi Jingu Bang to break the God Tree. Through everyone's tireless efforts, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Obito Uchiha, was finally defeated.
After confronting the God Tree, Hiruzen Sarutobi joined forces with the Allied Shinobi Forces to fight against Tobi, who was using the Wood Human Technique. At a critical moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi used the Five Release Great Combo Technique neutralize Tobi's attack, protecting the Allied Shinobi Forces. Infinite Tsukuyomi Madara Uchiha activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hiruzen Sarutobi, being Edo Tensei body, was unaffected by the other three Naruto.
Hiruzen Sarutobi originally intended to tear off the vines binding those under the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but no one woke up, and new vines quickly wrapped around them.
After the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed something amiss at the location of Naruto and the others' battle and decided to go investigate with the other three Naruto. To find out the cause of Madara's death, the Second Naruto planned to use Edo Tensei, thus forcing Madara to reveal the current battle situation. However, this plan was rejected by the First Naruto due to the issue of human sacrifice. The four Naruto then tried other methods. When the First Naruto touched Madara's failed lower body, the chakra left behind by the Sage of Six Paths appeared, and the four Naruto encountered the Sage of Six Paths.
After Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed away, he, along with the Sage of Six Paths and the other 16 deceased Five Kage, used the Summoning Technique to transfer Team 7, the nine Tailed Beasts, and the dying Madara Uchiha from the Original Ball Space back to the ninja world. The Sage of Six Paths Five Kage then dispelled the Edo Tensei Summoning Technique, and their souls returned to the Pure Land.
Sculptures and memorial halls display photos of the Naruto throughout history. On the wall above the Naruto's desk hang photos of Naruto First, Second, Naruto Fourth Hokage Naruto. Photos of the Naruto adorn the walls of the offices where Konoha's administrative affairs are discussed.
