Sasuke Sarutobi was Hiruzen's father. Sasuke's parents named Sasuke after him, so that he would become as great Shinobi as Sasuke?

How did they even know about someone older than Hiruzen from some other clan? And even things about Hokage were not very well known.

Also, if they knew, why did they not name him Hashirama, Tobirama, Hiruzen or even Minato?

Did you just ask why an Uchiha wasn't named after Tobirama?

Tobirama is an anti Uchiha no one will name a baby after him. Hashirama is a good mention, but people will fear him if he had Hashi's name, Minato was not possible because Minato was alive when Sasuke was born. I am guessing they chose a Sarutobi who has some decent feats like a mediocre guy from the Sarutobi Clan.

Only a few Uchiha got their knickers in a twist.

Most were fine.


OT: Hokage have always been famous. Fugaku and Mikoto were easily old enough to have been alive when Sasuke Sarutobi was, and strong shinobi always make their mark on the world.

Just look at even Kakashi; Zabuza and Kisame recognised him straight away, despite no previous encounter. The latter went as far as to say he was honoured to be known by him.

Tobirama was anti-Uchiha at all.

He gave them thenPolice a Force as a sign of trust and even remarked on their excellent abilities in doing it. If he were anti-Uchiha, he wouldn't have had Uchiha Kagami on his team.

Also it would be weird to name your child after your best friend's husband :what:

I don't think Tobirama was hated among Uchiha. His tactics were not figured out, except by a few. Uchiha in general were proud Tobirama bestowed them the control of police force.

And they did prefer him as a Hokage over Madara, so I think Tobirama was quite popular and not hated.

Even if you think Tobirama hated them, that would not mean they would hate him. But he did not hate them, he was just careful so that another Madara would not appear.

The 4th databook mentioned he had "extraordinary talent".

Tobirama passed Anti-Uchiha laws, and the only thing he did for them was just a front in order to keep a closer eye on them... No Uchiha in their right kind would name their child after him... It's like a Jew making their child after Hitler

Idk about you but I would be driven closer to resentment towards the village if I wasn't even allowed to live in it... I would say I might as well secede and form my own nation

That's all in your imagination.

As I said, the Police Force was given as a sign of trust and he himself remarked on their excellent policing abilities. He even praised the Uchiha who rose above the Curse, like the very Uchiha subordinate that he had on his team.

Any right-minded Uchiha could've named their child over him. It was only the deluded and paranoid ones that wouldn't, because they're weren't in their right mind.

Not really, its quite common these days especially if their friend is really close and their death really impacts them to the point of giving the child the same name?

Also does anyone currently have Hitler's name as of now because there was one case where a baby got Hitler's name but then the parents had to apply for a name change because Hitler's name triggers the Holocaust in people's minds.

Some names = power

Madara's name was power itself

Same for the other legendary shinobi

kakashi's dad, sakumo was well known. nardo's dad, minato was well known (although not many knew naruto was minato's son since it was kept secret).

i assume hiruzen's dad was quite popular although we got nothing but his name only. no feat, not even hype.

and if they did name sasuke in hope that sasuke would become as great Shinobi as hiruzen's dad, well too bad it aint happen. Sasuke becomes waaaaayyyyy better than him.

I could've sworn I read that somewhere though...
Eh I'm wrong sorry for the confusion

All assumption. Didn't see Sasuke Sarutobi's feats, can't make judgement.

You are mistaken. They were not forbidden from living in the village. They only lived in the outskirts because they had control over police force. The reason they lived together was because it is traditional for people from same clan to live together.

Tobirama never did anything forcibly to Uchiha, after Konoha was formed. He just used his diplomacy and political skills to make sure he could keep them under control. He never used force or direct laws to restrict their rights.

Basically, his approach was strategic and Uchiha themselves accepted it. When he offered them police force, they were glad. But unlike Tobirama, they did not understand the long term consequences.
