Why there was two Hokages in one time I am talking about the 3th and 4th Hokages in naruto?

Answer 1

[SPOILER ALERT] *THIS ANSWER RUINED HALF OF NARUTO FOR ME!!! SO ANNOYING* the 3rd hokage was getting old , he thought he was going to die soon , so he appointed naruto's father to be the 4th hokage so he could take over right after the 3rd died. Until the 4th hokage worked with the 3rd hokage. When the Nine tailed fox attacked their village the 3rd wasnt strong enough to beat the nine tailed fox but the 4th hokage was so he went and fought the Nine tailes. He couldn't beat it either so he used a jutsu which sealed himself(4th hokage) and the nine tailes inside a baby boy(Naruto) So the 4th is actually still alive. The 3rd and the 4th worked together but the 4th got defeated before the 3rd did. Does that answer our question?

Answer 2

There is no proof, can't answer that question.

But I would say first Hokage is stronger (my opinion), he defeated madara 100% with kyuubi, while yondaime and madara didn't really use full strength during their fight.

Answer 3

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, passed on the title to Minato Namikaze, who became the Fourth Hokage. Minato however sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails into his newly born son, Naruto Uzumaki.

With no other suitable replacement, Hiruzen became Hokage again, however he was still known as the Third, his original title.

Answer 4

Because the 3d Hokage had been old and retired, Minato Namikaze, or Yoindame Hokage, Then took over at a young age. Minato had sove Konoha a lot of times, during three days of being Hokage, and then died keeping his son,Wife, and villagers from the nine-tailed fox. After that, A few med-nins cared for Naruto, while the third came back into the picture of being Hokage.
