The Konoha ninja hierarchy is headed by the hokages. They serve as the village’s leaders and are regarded as the clan’s strongest ninjas.

There are a few Hokages among them, though, who act as actual bosses in combat.

Naruto Uzumaki (Seventh Hokage)

The strongest shinobi ever to exist in the Naruto universe is still Naruto. In addition, the main character’s participation in the Fourth Shinobi World War earned him the title of Hero of the Hidden Leaf.

Hashirama Senju (First Hokage)

The Hidden Leaf Village was established by Hashirama and Madara Uchiha, a former rival. He was often referred to as the “God of Shinobi” in recognition of his superhuman abilities.

Minato Namikaze (Fourth Hokage)

The Yellow Flash of Konoha was another moniker for Minato. He was also crucial in bringing the Third Shinobi World War to a close. In addition, he once defeated a whole army of ninjas by himself.

Tobirama Senju (Second Hokage)

Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, died, and Tobirama took over as ruler. Although his abilities could not be matched to those of his older brother, he is in charge of stabilizing Konoha through political shrewdness and strategy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi (Third Hokage)

Hiruzen gained the nickname “The Professor” for his mastery of several skill sets and fighting modalities while being a student of the previous two Hokages.

Tsunade Senju (Fifth Hokage)

During the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade was crucial. She is also renowned for being the world’s strongest kunoichi and the best medical ninja.

Kakashi Hatake (Sixth Hokage)

The Copy Ninja, Kakashi of the Sharingan, and Cold-Blooded Kakashi are just a few of Kakashi’s aliases. The Chidori, one of the greatest close-combat tactics, was developed by the elite ninja in the interim.
