First Hokage of Hidden Leaf Village

The first Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village is extremely strong. Shodai, and his brother Nidaime (the 2nd Hokage) trained the current Hokage, Sarutobi (the 3rd) to what he is today... though they both died early in their leadership leaving Sarutobi to train himself.

One of the Jutsus that only Shodai knows is Forest Genesis, where he feeds his chakra to the surrounding plant life making them large and strong and to trap his opponents.
When Orochimaru resurrects Shodai in Zaku's body, he is forced to battle his student, Sarutobi. Sarutobi manages to place a seal on him which traps the soul in the "belly of death" where there's no escape... however Sarutobi dies as well.

Second Hokage of Hidden Leaf Village

The Second Hokage is the younger brother of the First Hokage, Shodai. He, along with his brother, founded the Hidden Leaf Village. After Shodai stepped down from being Hokage, Nidaime became the next Hokage. He has very powerful water jutsus (even when there was no water). Some of his attacks include Water Dragon Blast Skill, Water Formation Wall, and Water Wave. He was Sarutobi (3rd Hokage's) main teacher.

When Orochimaru resurrects Nidaime and Shodai, Kin Tsuchi houses Nidaime's soul. After being turned into a killing machine, he fights his former student. Sarutobi finally places a seal on both him and Shodai that their souls go to the "belly of death" which no one can escape.

The Third Hokage is the Hidden Leaf village chieftain. He would probably have retired as Hokage (highest ninja position) of the village twelve years ago had the Fourth Hokage not sacrificed himself in order to seal the Demon Fox. He's now quite old, and he mostly does administrative jobs like running the academy, assigning missions to the ninja teams, and other such tasks.

The Third Hokage is the one who recognized and explained to Iruka about Naruto's behavior, that it was an affirmation from the village that Naruto was alive, that he existed, and that he can be a contributor to the village.

The Third Hokage was killed while using a forbidden jutsu called Sealing Jutsu Shikifuhin Reaper Death Seal in an attempt to kill Orochimaru in episodes 79-80. Although he failed, he did take away the use of Orochimaru's arms so that he may never perform a ninjustu ever again.

The hand signs for this jutsu are snake, boar, sheep, rabbit, dog, rat, bird, horse, snake. It was also used by the fourth Hokage, and we know because page 91 of the 14th manga volume shows "So this is the God of Death that the Fourth Hokage was saying only the caster of the jutsu can see." The God of Death is pictured as a white haired person with horns, a knife in his mouth, beads, and a faceless person. The way the Jutsu works is that the God of Death takes the beads in its right hand and wraps them around his arm (similar to Miroku from Inuyasha). Marks appear on that hand as the arm goes into the person that performed the jutsu. Next, the caster needs to grab the person, so the hand grabs onto the person and pulls the soul out of the body.

Orochimaru later figured out that this jutsu was used to seal the nine tailed fox. Unfortunately, as Sarutobi (who later gets a sword pierced through him) explains to Orochimaru, "The caster must hand over their soul to the God of Death for the Jutsu to work. It's a sealing Jutsu. It requires the complete sacrifice of ones life." He also says that the souls wouldn't rest in peace, but suffer in the belly of the God of Death. This part scares Orochimaru a bit because when he sees the God of Death, he witness it taking the knife out of its mouth, slicing two of the four souls, and eating the two that it cut.
Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade were the Third Hokage's students.


Fourth
Minato Namikaze, mostly referred to as the Fourth, graduated from the Academy at the age of ten and would go on to become the student of Jiraiya. There he was taught the Summoning Technique and signed the contracts with the Toads. Minato mastered the technique, being the only person to fully control Gamabunta, a feat not even his sensei could do. His skills would further grow with the development of his own jutsu, the Rasengan (although he did not live long enough to complete it) and Flying Thunder God Technique.

After attaining the rank of Jonin, Minato was given direction of his own team, which consisted of Kakashi Hatake, Rin and Obito Uchiha. Along with Kakashi, Minato's reputation greatly increased during the Third Great Ninja War, where his skills earned him the moniker of Konoha's Yellow Flash.

Later on, he became the Fourth Hokage (Yondaime Hokage). However, he is most famed for his defeat of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. When the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konoha, Minato rushed to the village, where he and Gamabunta faced off against the Tailed beast. Near the end of the battle, Minato made the ultimate sacrifice: using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, he sealed the demon fox into a newborn child, Naruto, in exchange for his own life. His dying wish was that Naruto be viewed as a hero, and not the container of the demon fox, a request that villagers did not listen to.

Tsunade, or Granny Tsunade as Naruto would call her, is one of the three legendary Sannins that was trained under the 3rd Hokage, also known as Sarutobi, along with Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Unlike Orochimaru and Jiraiya, she has incredible super-human strength and a bad temper to go along with it. Tsunade also happens to be the grand daughter of the 1st Hokage. She is a spontaneous person who loves to gamble, even though she is horrible at it and always ends up losing.

Her grandfather died fighting a great war when she very young, and everybody in her life that wished to become Hokage in the future, like her brother and boyfriend, also ended up dying. So she goes along traveling the world, with her student Shizune and Pig Ton-Ton, borrowing money from banks and loan-sharks to gamble and lose it.

Because of her troubled past, she resents and refuses to go back to Konoha (the Hidden Leaf Village). A turn of events then happen involving Orochimaru and she then she finally decides not only to return to Konoha but to also take the place of her deceased sensei and become the 5th Hokage. As Hokage, she tries to rebuild the almost obliterated village of Konoha.

Fifth Hokage Tsunade has a huge fear of blood, but she gets over it when she was fighting Orochimaru... which is good, since she is a medic.

Toward the end of episode 96, Tsunade has flashbacks to her days with Dan, her boyfriend, and her little brother Nawaki. They both wanted to be hokage, but unfortunately both died. Tsunade gave them a necklace that belonged to her grandfather, the 1st Hokage, but it was given to and meant only for her (though with the chain of events that occurred, it seems to belong to those who are meant to be someone important to Konoha, as in the hokage). She gave both Kawaki and Dan the necklace, and they each ended up dying from it.

Naruto is like a little brother to Tsunade because he looks like her younger brother, and has most of the traits that Dan had including goals which is to be hokage and protect the village. She offered a challenge to Naruto, telling him that he couldn't master the Rasengan in a week, but if he could then she would give him the necklace. Of course, he did win and he got the necklace, but he didn't die.

Tsunade is believed by some to bethe Yondaime's aunt, which, if true, would make her Naruto's great aunt. Also, the diamond symbol on her forehead is very important because it keeps her looking young, but at a cost of taking away years of her life doing so. We learn in manga issue 19 that it also helps her heal completely when injured.

The symbol on the back of her coat, "kake", means "gamble" or "wager".
