I just wanted to address this. I know people claim that Naruto has a lot of plot holes but I don't believe this to be true. People claim things like how it was impossible for Obito to give Nagato his rinnengan if Nagato is older but that was just people who got their facts mixed up. (Madara gave Nagato the rinnengan and Obito was entrusted to make sure Nagato awakened it).

Anyways, I'm not one to obsess on finding plot holes but I can't get this one out of my head. Konohamaru as we all know, is the third Hokage Hiruzen's grandson. But when looking at the Sarutobi family tree it starts with Sasuke Sarutobi whose son is Hiruzen. The problem comes then because Sasuke only had one son and Hiruzen and his wife Biwako Sarutobi had only one son Asuma. Asuma then has a baby with Kurenai (name unknown) so it's understandable that the baby is the grandson of Hiruzen. Konohamaru though is a mystery. Asuma is his uncle but Asuma has no brother to be Konahamaru's dad. I do not think he was 'adopted' as a grandfather from Hiruzen.

I'm new here so I'm not sure if there has been numerous threads on this before but it would be nice if someone could explain the situation or confirm that it indeed is a plot hole.

Asuma has a brother. He's Konohamaru's dad. That should be the case, since Kono is his nephew.

Or a sister perhaps.

Its not a plothole, Konohamaru's parents have just never been revealed. Hiruzen had multiple kids not just Asuma.

Madara gave Nagato the rinnegan and Obito was entrusted to make sure Nagato summoned the Gedo Mazo and to use Rinne Tensei... Nagato didn't have to awaken it... it couldn't even be turned off... and Nagato couldn't control it... :)

I'm sure Asuma doesn't. On the Naruto Wikia, Hiruzen has only one son

And yet Konohamaru is Asuma's nephew. How do you explain that? He must have had a brother or a sister.

We don't have info on Kono's parents, doesn't change the fact that they exist.

I understand that maybe they haven't been revealed or Hiruzen may have adopted Konohamaru's dad but Hiruzen only had Asuma
