Minato and Sarutobi

[rocklee123]

Shouldn't Sarutobi have died before Minato? ? ? ? ?

 

[Imperfect]

Nope, he retired, leaving the village to Minato, then Minato died, and the 3rd became Hokage again.

TL;DR version:

No.

Full version:

Spoiler

No.

 

[AllomnisymbolsparttwoT]

Hiruzen retired :I

 

[Haru70]

No... being the 3rd doesn't mean he has to die before the 4th.

That's like saying Obama needs to die before we elect our next President.

Want Obama to stay in power till death? Chances are much higher he will live well in past his presidency, sir.

[Ultimatum]

So this is an Obama thread now?

 

[Penguin]

Quit spamming about Obama...

OT: One can step down without dying.

 

[Kakashisquad]

Well he would have if he didn't retire

 

[RNITBmsage]

1 sarutobi retired
2 obama should be president 4eva

 

[phantomlord22]

dieing is not something about age and it's not something that people can choose

 

[MickNerks]

Bill Clinton should have been president 4ever.

To OP, Hiruzen was Hokage for 40+ years before Minato was elected, so it was time for him to step down.​

Dont forget the old man was alive at the beginning of the manga, what ever naruto's age was then thats how long hiruzen outlived minato.
