Haha, this is an interesting question. Why is the leader of Konoha named Hokage since there is no one who can use fire? Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to be Wood Shadow? The person who asked this question probably hasn’t looked carefully at Naruto and the naming of the ninja village. The principle has little to do with the chakra attributes that ninjas are good at, and the shadows of Konoha Village also use fire escape, which will be explained in detail below.
The origin of the names of Konoha Village and the leader of Konoha Village has little to do with Madara and Hashirama’s impromptu idea and has little to do with the ninja chakra attributes.
In Uchiha Madara’s recollection of the establishment of Konoha Village, he has clearly mentioned the origin of Konoha Village and the title of Hokage. First of all, since the village was established in agreement with the Country of Fire, the Ninja Village is equivalent to The armed forces of the Fire Country, so Hashirama proposed that the ninja leader who protects the Fire Country be called Hokage.
The meaning of the leader of other ninja villages also follows the method of Konoha Village, and is not just based on the chakra attributes that ninjas are good at using. This also explains that Raikage is the leader of the ninja village that protects the Land of Thunder, but the village is called Kumogakure. Sand Ninja Village is in the Kingdom of Wind, but the leader is not called Sand Shadow, but Kazekage, which is directly related to the country where the village is located. As for the origin of the name of Konoha Village, it is even simpler. When Hashirama asked Madara for the name of the village, Uchiha Madara had a leaf in his hand, so Madara named the village Konoha Village.
The Third Hokage and the Sixth Hokage in Konoha Village both use fire escape ninjutsu.
Anyone who says that the previous Kage of Konoha Village did not use fire escape means that they have not watched the anime seriously. According to the setting, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is one of the ninjas who is good at powerful fire escape. In addition, the Sixth Hokage Kakashi also used the Fire Release Technique of Fireball in the original plot of the animation.
So it cannot be said that no one in Hokage can use fire escape, and it has been explained above that the name of the village leader is related to the country where it is located, and has little to do with the escape technique attributes that the leader of the ninja village is good at using. For example, Gaara is the leader of Sand Ninja Village. He is good at controlling sand but is not called Sand Shadow, but Kazekage (Sand Ninja Village is located in the Kingdom of Wind). Both the third and sixth generation Hokage in Konoha Village can use Fire Release in combat, so it is not that all the Kage in Konoha Village can use Fire Release Ninjutsu.
Finally, to summarize, the origin of the names of Konoha Village and Naruto has little to do with Hashirama and Madara’s ideas, and has little to do with the chakra attributes that ninjas are good at using, and the shadows of Konoha Village can also use fire escape. I apologize for the imperfect analysis of the role of art. If you have other ideas, please leave a message for discussion.
