Talk:Third Hokage

Confused?????
How can he be the Third Hokage, if there was already a Fourth Hokage? and it the Fourth Hokage died before the THird hokage came, doesnt that make the Fourth Hokage third, and the THird Hokage Fourth? See? It makes nosense —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dark Zatch II (talk • contribs).


 * He was the Third Hokage, then retired for the Fourth, then became Hokage again when the Fourth died. Simple. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 18:45, 22 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Could you explain it more spiler, because i still dont understand.Dark Zatch II


 * He became the Third Hokage. After a while, he retired. The Fourth became the new Hokage. He died during the fight against the Kyubi. The Third became Hokage again. I can't explain it any better. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs)


 * I Understand now. The Third Hokage retired, and let that guy be the Fourth Hokage. When the Fourth Died, The Third came Back, so it is like a mix-up between Hokages. -- User: Dark Zatch IIDark Zatch II
 * Thanks, Someguy0838-san. -- Dark Zatch II

 * When the Fourth Hokage was killed by the Kyubi, the retired Third Hokage came back into place. For some reason, his title didn't change to "The Fifth Hokage". Instead, apparently he was still alive at the time, hence, used the title he was given before the Fourth became Hokage, "The Third Hokage". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.167.112.220 (talk • contribs).


 * When will Naruto become the Sixth Hokage? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dark Duelist 5000 (talk • contribs).


 * The day Naruto becomes Hokage, will be the day my grandma goes to California
 * Of course Naruto becomes Hokage its the whole point of the seriesThe Truth of the World 03:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * naruto becomes sixth when granny tsunade gives it to him which will be when she belives he's old enough not a question of if he's strong enough--Jackjohnson15 19:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Enough. Talk pages aren't discussion forums. There's not a shred of concrete evidence that Tsunade will let Naruto become Hokage after she retires/dies. She merely supports his ambition. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 02:13, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

current affiliation?
he's dead, how can he have a current affiliation? how can he have a current rank for that matter?


 * Everyone has a affilation regardless of their status, case in point the deceased Zabuza is still a part of the "Seven Swordsmen of the Mist".

Son/Daughter
I was thinking that we need to add under relatives that he has another, as of yet unnamed, son or daughter. Asuma is Konohamaru's uncle, which means he still has a mom or dad.Lascoden 02:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * True, but the section is for known relatives. While we know such a person exists/existed, they are not a known relative. Retlor 06:39, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * well technically it is a known relative considering the fact that konahamaru states that asuma is his uncle which essentially means they are known just not shown yet but you are correct --Jackjohnson15 19:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Current Arc
During the 344th chapter of the manga Sarutobi makes an appearance in the flash back, talking with Orochimaru as a child at the grave of his parents. I think that is important and should be added to the article, but where should it be placed? Should it get its own section or be put into the Background section?Mrcongojack 03:31, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


 * How is his telling Orochimaru about white snake skin important? ~SnapperTo 04:12, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Two Senseis
ok i dont understand how saru could have had 2 jonin senseis when he was a genin. does anyone else know?QuietDrive627 19:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No one ever said there couldn't be two team leaders in a squad. // Decaimiento Poético  19:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)


 * yes but during the invasion of konoha, kakashi states that a team of more than 4 people would be a disadvantage to the team. how do u explain that?QuietDrive627 19:52, 15 March 2007 (UTC)


 * As to that, nobody can say with any degree of accuracy. Possibly Kakashi meant for that specific mission, possibly he didn't mean it to apply to students and their teachers. It's all speculation though. Retlor 08:06, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * well if you think about it two hokages even if that was a disadvantage to them they were still stronger


 * Maybe at the time they had two senseis it could have been to there advantig at the time. Maybe one would take them one day and teach them somthing and then the other sensei would take them the next to teach something else or somthing like that.Smileyface 12 91 13:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

First name
Naruto Shippūden: Narutimate Accel lists the Hokage's given name as Sasuke. This would make sense, given that he is based on Sarutobi Sasuke. Would this be worth adding? Alexpt 18:31, 13 May 2007 (UTC) no thats a mistake

Abilities
I think it should be noted that some of the techniques that he uses listed under Abilities in the article are in the anime only.Sarutobi627 19:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Uncited statements
Masashi Kishimoto originally planned for the Third Hokage to be a dog, but eventually dumped the idea for being "too weird".


 * I'm sorry, but this whole [potentially controversial] statement will have to be deleted if it is going to remain unsourced. Further, it appears to be a questionable Internet declaration, I can't find any official website confirming it. I'll be nice and give it a week or two to be sourced, if by that time the sentence is still uncited after two weeks, it'll be removed per being an indefinite citation.
