The Hokage is quite easily the most prized position for any individual to hold in the Hidden Leaf Village in the Naruto series. The Hokage is, simply put, the leader of the village and the one responsible for the well-being of all the people in the village as well. In many ways, the Hokage is like a parent to all the villagers, and to them, the entire Village is like a family. A Hokage needs to be very powerful, but at the same time, very wise, calm, and calculating as well. Fans have seen many powerful ninjas take this spot over the years, and every single one of them has been impressive in their own way.
