Updated on December 21st, 2022 by Kennedy King: Although the adventures of Naruto and his allies have finally taken a backseat to the next generation of Leaf Village shinobi, there is no denying that the loudmouthed, knucklehead ninja is one of the most beloved characters in anime history. Countless new fans are introduced to the iconic series every year, and for them, the franchise’s most shocking moments still possess the same novelty that made them so impactful in the first place.
The Third Hokage is the first character in Naruto who seems to possess insurmountable levels of strength. Fans witness the power of Hiruzen Sarutobi in all its glory at the end Chunin Exams Arc . Unfortunately, this display of power culminates in the first major tragedy to befall the events of Naruto.
In a heart-wrenching moment, the aging Hokage uses the Reaper Death Seal in a last-ditch effort to seal the First and Second Hokages. The fact that Sarutobi wasn’t able to win the tug-of-war against Orochimaru, who escaped at the cost of temporarily losing the use of his arms, is a massive punch in the gut for any Naruto fans rooting for an absolute victory.
