does family have anything to do with becoming hokage?

[Savagewolf93]

this might be a stupid question but im reallyy curious the first and the second were bothers i thought at least i feel like im wrong though and tsunade was the granddaughter of the 1st. does the family history have anything to do with who is chosen as hokage?

 

[nejis sharingan]

[Yuka]

[nejis sharingan]

No I don't think it matters who your family is. But it is kind of ironic how all the Hokages have been related in someway. The first and second were brothers and Hashi probably trained Tobimaru at some point. Then Tobimaru was the leader for Hiruzen's squad. Then Hiruzen was the leader of Tsunade's squad and then Jman trained Minato. And they also considered Danzo, (in Tobimaru's squad) Jman, (trained by Hiruzen) and Kakashi (trained by Minato) for Hokage at one point or another.

So they may not be family but they all where connected through the squads and training and what not.

Remember Tsunade was a last choice.

No problem. Glad I could be of some help.

isnt it tobirama?

 

[ronus]

Nope. That was Coincident. They were chosen because of their strength and because villagers acknowledged them..

 

[derpderp]

its tobirama, not tobimaru

Not really, but it may be their connections (relationship) like between 3rd and 2nd. They were not family.
