Hiruzen Sarutobi THE FIRST HOKAGE'S BACKGROUND

    Born into the Sarutobi clan to Sasuke, Hiruzen was a prodigy
    who truly stood
    out in talent. He and
    his former team-
    mates, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, were students of Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage. He had somewhat of a rivalry with Danzō Shimura ever since they were children, but Hiruzen always
    managed to pass milestones before Danzō. During the First Shinobi World War , Team Tobirama along with Danzō, Kagami Uchiha and Torifu Akimichi were pursued by enemy Kumogakure ninja. Knowing that one of them would need to distract their pursuers in order for the rest to
    escape, a task that would result in their death,
    Hiruzen volunteered. Tobirama however, chose
    to be the decoy instead, but before leaving he
    appointed Hiruzen as the Third Hokage.

    Later in his life, Hiruzen became the teacher of Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, who would go on to become known as the Sannin. In time, he married Biwako and became the father of two children, Asuma Sarutobi and one who has yet to be seen in the series. This unnamed child would
    later give Hiruzen a grandson: Konohamaru Sarutobi.

    While Orochimaru was his student, Hiruzen came
    to appreciate Orochimaru's natural talent, and
    often told Jiraiya to be more like him. He also
    came to recognize an inner malice and a lust for
    power within Orochimaru, and tried to steer his
    student away from these personality traits. After serving as Hokage for many years, Hiruzen
    started looking for a successor to the title. While
    he hoped to be able to give the position to
    Orochimaru, it became apparent that Orochimaru
    was only interested in the role of Hokage for the
    power it offered. His first choice was Jiraiya, but due to Jiraiya's journeys, Hiruzen instead passed
    on the role of Hokage to one of Jiraiya's pupils: Minato Namikaze.

    Knowing fully well the dangers Minato's wife Kushina Uzumaki (then the jinchūriki of the Nine- Tailed Demon Fox) would face in childbirth (as the seal holding the tailed beast is prone to weakening at this point in time), he sent his wife
    Biwako and a few ANBU for security to let her
    give birth outside the village. Nonetheless, the
    rogue Madara Uchiha would track them to release the Nine-Tails and order it to attack
    Konohagakure, while Minato faced Madara,
    Hiruzen lead Konoha to combat the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. He would then arrive to the scene when Minato decided to seal the Nine-Tails in Naruto, forcing Hiruzen to resume the role of Hokage. He saw to it that the orphaned Naruto
    would be safe by keeping the identity of his father a secret.

    After reacquiring his title, Hiruzen began
    investigating a number of disappearances within
    Konoha. Upon reaching the source of the
    abductions, he found Orochimaru to be the one
    responsible. Having used those that he
    kidnapped as test subjects in his quest to gain immortality, Orochimaru allowed his former
    master a chance to kill him. Ultimately, Hiruzen
    was unable to bring himself to kill his former student, allowing Orochimaru to escape.

    Hiruzen was one of four Konoha elders involved
    in the massacre of the Uchiha clan. He tried to find a peaceful alternative, but negotiations fell
    through and, against his wishes, Itachi Uchiha was ordered to wipe out the Uchiha. Itachi
    proved unable to kill his brother, Sasuke Uchiha, so Hiruzen promised Itachi to keep Sasuke safe.Source URL: https://funcartoongallery.blogspot.com/2011/06/hiruzen-sarutobi-first-hokage.html
