The establishment of Konoha Village was initiated by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. The Hokages, known as the leaders of Konoha Village, have conserved the “Will of Fire” to protect the village and its people. Their families have also played a significant role in this. Hokage Fourth, his son, and even his granddaughter, who dominates the current era, were the highlighted ninjas of Konoha Village. Here are some short trivia about the grandchildren of Hokages in the Boruto-Naruto anime series.
1. Tsunade
Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. Since her youth, she has lost valuable people one by one, such as her brother (Nawaki), lover (Dan), and friend (Jiraiya). This eventually had an impact on her psyche. Tsunade also served as the Fifth Hokage. She played a crucial role in the Fourth Great Ninja War. Despite being elderly, this well-known medical ninja’s physique and physical appearance remain youthful through the byakugou seal. Currently, Tsunade is retired as a ninja.
2. Konohamaru Sarutobi
Konohamaru’s parents died when he was still very young. He was then raised by his grandfather, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage. Like his grandfather, Konohamaru also wanted to become Hokage. Naruto Uzumaki’s student was very promising since childhood. At an early age, Konohamaru was able to defeat one of the Akatsuki Pain members and almost harmed Temari. Now, he is one of the elite jonin of Konoha Village.
3. Mirai Sarutobi
Mirai is Konohamaru’s cousin. Mirai never met her grandfather (Hiruzen) and father (Asuma) because they died before she was born. Mirai is active as a chunin-ranked kunoichi. She is skilled in genjutsu like her mother and uses chakra knives, which belonged to her late father, Asuma Sarutobi. This young ninja also respects Shikamaru Nara. For Mirai, Shikadai’s father is not just the Assistant Hokage but also a mentor and father figure since childhood.
4. Boruto Uzumaki
The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had two grandchildren. Boruto is the first and the only grandson. Boruto also inherited yellow hair like Minato and Naruto. Like his father and late grandfather, Boruto has a career as a ninja. Their main technique is Rasengan. Since being made Wadah, Boruto’s fate has tragically changed. He gradually lost valuable things because of Momoshiki’s curse.
5. Himawari Uzumaki
The only granddaughter of the Fourth Hokage is still studying at the Ninja Academy. Himawari has begun to show unique talents like her late grandfather. Minato was dubbed the Yellow Flash of the Leaf, and Himawari is also excellent at speed. Besides, at a young age, she was able to activate the byakugan unique to her mother’s family, even inadvertently. Himawari seems to hide potential. It is no wonder that she is often touted as a future Hokage candidate.
Only Tsunade and Konohamaru, among the grandchildren of Hokages in the Boruto-Naruto anime, were able to meet their late grandfather. Mirai, Boruto, and Himawari were not yet born when the Third Hokage and Fourth Hokage died. But, of course, they cherish their grandfather.
In conclusion, the grandchildren of Hokages in the Boruto-Naruto anime series have unique stories and traits. They are among the ninja fighters who continue to preserve the Will of Fire and protect the village and its people.
