easy in one of the naruto episodes when leaf are looking for a new hokage they said that the former hokage can retire and place someone younger as hokage so if the new one dies the old hokage if still alive takes the place as hokage again in this case the 4th died saving the city so the 3rd had to resume the role us hokage.
The Third Hokage was still living during the reign of the Fourth Hokage, and when the Fourth Hokage died by protecting the village the village council decided that they should give the Third his title back instead of a new Hokage.
If you are refering to Konohamaru, he is still alive
The Third Hokage came back to be the leader of Konoha when the Fourth Hokage died when he sealed the 9 tailed beast.
no because the third hokage passed before he knew.
because the fourth hokage died before the third hokage
It is a matter of ones own opinion who is the best hokage; but according to fan polls, the third and fourth hokage were voted the best hoakge.
# Orochimaru never fought the fourth hokage he fought the third the fourth died killing the 9 tails# when he fought the third hokage he changed bodies three times to the sand village kage, to himself and he ripped off his face revealing a young woman#
No, he is dead after using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal
well, there is the third hokage, and then two other people who are dead, I think that one of them might be konan, ether him or she was in the team that Jiraiya mentored. The third hokage's teammates are the two advisors Homura(i think) and Koharu. They are still alive. Konan was taught by Jiraiya, but she wasnt on his team. He trained her briefly in the rain village.
