The Hokage Timeline Makes no Sense

[Ashura San]

All these Hokage threads got me thinking. The Hokage timeline makes no sense.



Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru became genin at age 6 (I'm assuming. They look extremely young in the flashback with Hiruzen as their sensei).

But doesn't he look younger when he was announced Hokage than when he was a Sensei?

So was he Hokage and their sensei at the same time?

Also, this means Hashirama just died at or a little after this point (Hiruzen becoming Hokage) because he was alive when Tsunade was born but only remembers her as a child/toddler maybe
But why would he be alive and not be Hokage? Did he step down and turn it over to his brother? But that also can't make sense because Hiruzen was their sensei and he Hokage at the same time meaning Tobirama was dead. But Hashi has to be alive remember? He knows Tsunade.

I don't blame you if you're lost. I'm lost myself now XD

It's like this:
Hashi is Hokage. We all assume he dies.
Tobirama is Hokage. We know he dies and make Hiruzen Hokage.
But Hashi can't be dead because Hiruzen teaches the sannin (Tsunade).
So if he's not dead why isn't he Hokage?
This also mean Tobirama died before him.


Anyway, after that the timeline isn't that bad.

There 18 years between the sannin (51 in part 1) and Hiruzen (69 in part 1)

Meaning Hiruzen was 24 when he started teaching them.

So judging by that, he was made Hokage some time before the age of 24...

This guy was Hokage for 40+ years and finally turned it over to Minato.... Who died soon after which forced Hiruzen back into office until he dies. Making Tsunade the Hokage.

Wtf Kishi

Smart move there,being able to judge anime characters age and then confuse yourself and others...

 

[EZQ]

Yes, kishi screwed that a lil bit. Anyways it is not very important

This is the Tsunade Hashirama remembers:

He probably died soon after that, making Tobirama the second Hokage, who in turn remained in his position for a few years before passing the title to Sarutobi. Meanwhile, Tsunade grows up and ends up being in the team of Hiruzen.

I think it was stated that hashirama had stepped down and appointed tobirama as 2nd but about the other stuff I have no idea lol

 

[Filo]

Tsunade is like 4 in that picture.


They aren't 6 as genin they look like 10 dude

That would make sense. I didn't know that though.

 

[rahul uzumaki]

the only possible solution to this is that jiraiya,oro and tsunade were approx. 10 years(in the above image)
hashi might have seen his granddaughter and taught her gambling.

in this image we can infer tsunade not to be more than 4 years.
thus we assume that soon after the fight of madara and hashi, tobirama was declared as the 2nd ..
and after the 1st great war, he declared hiruzen as the third.

assume hiruzen to be approx 15 years in this pic ;

and about 22-25 years in this pic;
hope this satisfies you !

Why not check Iksokrips timeline, his timeline seems accurate to me.

 

[SharinganReader]

Make the tsunade folks older in that picture and tobirama's reign shorter and everything falls in its place

 

[TheEvilOne]

Tsunade is like 4 in that picture.


They aren't 6 as genin they look like 10 dude

They graduated from the academy when they were 6. this was confirmed by Kishi in the latest databook.

Wtf Kishi

1. Hashi is Hokage, but steps down and retires, letting Tobirama take over.
2. Tobirama has Hiruzen in his squad, (note Hashirama is still alive).
3. Tsunade is born or just getting into the Academy.
4. Before Tsunade graduates, Tobirama sacrifices himself for his squad and names Hiruzen as the third hokage, Hashirama dies.
5. Tsunade graduates and due to few jonin, hiruzen becomes her sensei

Nice ripping my thread......

It's made this same thing few months ago.

They indeed become Genin at the age of six, but that doesn't mean that they are six in that image.

There is a link of my Timeline in my Signature. If you what to clear up this confusion, just go there and read it and see how events unfold. I hope it helps you. :yeah:

Few months ago. . . ? :erm:

People make exactly the same or at least identical threads on daily basis.
