Overview[]

Hokage[]

Generally, the new Hokage is selected by the old Hokage on their retirement, but if the old Hokage dies or is incapacitated before being able to do so, the Konoha council and Fire Feudal Lord council will meet and appoint a new Hokage together - sometimes within hours of the former Hokage's death. Afterwards, the candidate Hokage will need to be approved by the jonin of the village. After being appointed, they are given the Hokage Mansion to live in and have their faces carved out in the moument behind it. If the former Hokage is still alive, they will keep helping out, making the transition easier and more stable. The Hokage carry their title for life, even after retiring from active duty.
