Character Analysis
The Third Hokage -Sarutobi Sendaime (3rd)
“The professor”
Known as the “professor” ninja and well known as the most knowledgeable in
ninja techniques, Sarutobi became Hokage of the hidden leaf village a very
young age
Since then Sarutobi has been a strong leader of the community, well
respected if not always liked, among his peers and subordinates for his vast
knowledge and power and his ability to use both in any situation.
Many years before the third Hokage had retired and given up his position as
leader, but due to the untimely death of his successor, was forced to again
resume the mantle of authority through the many trying times ahead of the
Konoha village.
The third Hokage was the first to support Uzimaki Naruto, and always stood
by Narutos’ place in the community, even though he was often exhausted by
many of naruto’s antics. But that wouldn’t be the first time he had to lead
Genins around, Sarutobi was also well known for being the sensei of the
infamous Sennin, a group consisting of Orochimaru, jirabaiya and Tsunade,
who are among the more famous of his students. The first to discover
Orochimaru secretly killing ninja for his experiments, The Third was unable
to kill his former student when he had the chance, a mistake he has much
cause to regret later when Orochimaru returned to wreck havoc on his former
village which had cast him out, even going so far as to call up the dead
specters of the first and second Hokage to help defeat Sarutobi.
Sarutobi’s only weakness is his old age an his inability to maintain
complicated Justus for a large amount of time and his uncertain feelings
towards his main opponent which may cause him to hesitate when action is
required, but his vast knowledge of many different types of techniques makes
up for this easily.
