Founding and History of the Sarutobi Clan


Sarutobi Clan was formed way before the creation of the Hidden Leaf Village. Its origins are unclear, but they were one of the first people to settle in the village. Sasuke Sarutobi was an incredibly strong Shinobi from the Sarutobi clan and the father of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Not only that, Sasuke Uchiha is named after Sasuke Sarutobi.



Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sasuke Sarutobi’s son, was a prodigy at a very young age. He was trained by both the First and Second Hokage and eventually became their successor as Hokage. Before leaving for his death, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju appointed Hiruzen as the Third Hokage.



But Hiruzen retired and gave the position to Minato Namikaze, who would die while trying to protect the village from the Nine-tails. Thus it forced Hiruzen to once again take up the position of Hokage before he died.



Apart from Hiruzen, the Sarutobi clan also had other powerful Shinobi and this included Asuma Sarutobi, Hiruzen Sarutobi’s son. He held a position as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, who were tasked with protecting the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire.



Hiruzen’s other son and his wife were part of the Anbu, who contributed greatly to the village. Konohamaru Sarutobi, Hiruzen’s grandson, also proved to be an incredibly strong and efficient Shinobi at a very young age thanks to his training from Naruto Uzumaki. He is one of the few people who can actually use the Rasengan.



The Sarutobi Clan also had close relations with the Akimichi, Nara and Yamanaka Clans. They were tasked to strengthen the unity between the three clans. Every generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio receives special earrings from this clan after swearing their oath.



Not only that, the Sarutobi Clan is famous for their incredibly strong Fire Release Techniques. Konohamaru Sarutobi is seen using Fire Release at a really young age and he is also able to use Ash Pile Burning Ninjutsu, which he learnt from his grandfather.
