‘Naruto’ is one of the most popular and well-written shonen anime. It is a classic anime and almost every anime fan has watched it. It follows the manga written by Masashi Kishimoto. The anime also has a sequel by the name of ‘Boruto‘, which follows the story of Naruto’s son.
Kage are one of the most important people in the ‘Naruto‘ universe. They are essential and extremely important. They are mentioned throughout the anime but there are some doubts about exactly what the Kage are and how strong they are.
What Are The Five Kage?
A leader of one of the five shinobi countries is granted the title “Kage.” These communities’ chiefs are frequently regarded as the strongest Shinobi in the community. Even though this is often the case, it is also one of the strongest in the community. Kage are the few Jonin who are the most elite among Jonin, making them the ones picked for their strength if Jonin is the most elite shinobi in the village.
There are a total of five nations in the anime; the Land of Earth in the Northwest, the Land of Lightning in the Northeast, the Land of Water in the East, the Land of Wind in the Southwest, and the Land of Fire in the center. And the leader of each nation is known as a Kage.
The prefix changes according to the land they govern. For instance, the leader of the fire nation is known as Hokage, where the prefix ‘Ho or Hi’ refers to fire. All the Kage are known by a prefix that designates the land they govern. The land of water has Mizukage, the land of lightning has Raikage, the land of wind has Kazekage, and the land of stone has Tsuchikage.
How Powerful Are They?
The Kage traditionally are the strongest Shinobi in their village but it is not always true. The Five Kage of Naruto were outstanding shinobi with incredible power that was hard for any ninja to match. Few shinobi could be regarded as powerful enough to compete with them. And even fewer could outclass them in strength and ability. The top shinobi on the continent are known as the Kage.
Although Hokage are strong, strength alone does not matter. Not only does the physical strength make Kage strong; but you also need the mental fortitude to make the right decisions. You need to have enough influence over your village and the village must accept you as the leader.
Is There Anyone Who Can Defeat 5 Kage?
As mentioned above, the Kage are not always the strongest Shinobi in their village. Even if they are there is a good possibility that another Shinobi from a different village may be stronger. There are a select few people who can easily defeat a Kage; the Otsutsuki family, the creators of Nen can easily defeat any of them except Naruto. This is because he possessed the Chakra from Hagoromo Otsutsuki and can take on almost any foe.
Uchiha Obito and Madara are some of the humans that possess the power to defeat them once again except for ‘Naruto‘.
