He was once as respected as the Legendary Sannin, but fell in disgrace after he failed a mission vital to Konohagakure and the failure caused the village to suffer great losses. Despite knowing how critically important the success of the mission needed to be, Sakumo had chosen to save the lives of his comrades over the success of the mission. Dishonoured, Sakumo committed seppuku. His father's failure and suicide caused Kakashi to lead his life strictly according to the Ninja code. Sakumo left his White Chakra Sabre (白光チャクラ刀, Hakkō Chakura Tō) to Kakashi. This blade utilises the Hatake's special white chakra.

Based on the name, many assume that Asuma might be related to the Sandaime Hokage, but 'Sarutobi,' the name he shares with the Sandaime, is definitely his family name, while it is probably the given name of Hokage.

She is currently a medical nin in Konoha and led the regeneration of Hyūga Neji using Chikatsu Saisei no Jutsu (Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique). Shizune is quite close to Tsunade, one of the few people Tsunade will trust with absolute certainty and a fairly talented and capable ninja in her own right. Unlike Tsunade, she is level headed, practical, and a rational thinker. As a result, she is the one who tends to stress over details like Tsunade's tendency to gamble and think with her heart. Shizune also looks after Tonton, Tsunade's pet pig.

Relatively little is known about her, only that she has just recently become a Jōnin. She cares a lot for her students and seems to be romantically involved with her fellow Jōnin Sarutobi Asuma, having blushed when Kakashi suggested a connection.

Birthday: March 8
Blood Type: A
Registration #: 010777
Affiliation: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf)
Signature Ability: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Art of the Shadow Doppelganger)
Ebisu is Konohamaru's tutor. He doesn't like the fact that Konohamaru idolizes Uzumaki Naruto, because he only sees Naruto as the container of the Kyūbi. His opinion of Naruto doesn't change when Naruto defeats him with the Hāremu no Jutsu (Ninja Harem) after the Oiroke no Jutsu (Ninja Centerfold) fails. Naruto often refers to him as the "closet pervert". Later, recommended by Hatake Kakashi as a great teacher, Ebisu begins Naruto's one-month training for the Chūnin Selection Exam final. It is during this time that through being with Naruto and seeing the influence he had on Konohamaru that Ebisu realizes that Naruto is more than just the container of a demon, but that he is an outstanding Leaf Ninja. However, Ebisu does not complete Naruto's training, because Jiraiya takes over by summoning a large toad which tongue-whips Ebisu unconscious. Currently, he has been put in charge of a Genin team with Konohamaru and his two friends, Udon and Moegi, as its members.
Trivia
- The name "Ebisu" comes from the Buddhist god Ebisu, who is usually pictured as a well rounded man with a hammer in his hand that brings wealth and prosperity to believers.

Registration #: 011671
Affiliation: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf)
Signature Ability: Mikazuki no Mai (Dance of the Crescent Moon)
Gekkō Hayate was the examiner of the preliminary third portion of the Chūnin exams. At first sight, Hayate appears to not be in the best of health, with a chronic cough and bags under his eyes.
Hayate was the first to discover the truth behind the secret plan between the Sound and the Sand - he was discovered eavesdropping on a conversation between Baki (of the Sand) and Yakushi Kabuto (of the Sound), and subsequently killed by Baki. Were Hayate able to pass on the information gained from that fateful night, Konoha could have avoided the disasterous battle against Orochimaru and the loss of their Third Hokage.
Hayate's lover, Uzuki Yūgao, swore that she would avenge his death.
Trivia
- The name "Gekkō" means "lunar light" and "Hayate" means "quick as wind". Both are names of Japanese fighter planes from World War II.
- Hayate appears to be left-handed due to the way he wears, draws, and wields his sword.

Height: 167 cm1
Weight: 45,8 kg1
Birthday: October 24
Blood Type: A
Registration #: 011226
Affiliation: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf)
Signature Ability: Sen'eijashu (Hidden Shadow Snake Hand), Sōjasōsai no Jutsu (Twin Snakes Kill Each Other), Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu (Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique) (anime only)
Mitarashi Anko is the examiner for the second part of the Chūnin Selection Exam in which Uzumaki Naruto takes part (the part that takes place in the Forest of Death). During the exam, she arrives at a confrontation with Orochimaru and it is revealed that he used to be her sensei. It seems she had also received Orochimaru's cursed seal, but for an as yet unknown reason Orochimaru's connection to her was severed and the Seal disappeared; when Orochimaru battled Anko, he was able to make her cursed seal return, thus incapacitating her with pain as well as ending their fight. Anko knows several forbidden techniques taught to her by Orochimaru, the most notable of which is Sōjasōsai no Jutsu (Twin Snakes Kill Each Other) (literally "Twin Snakes Mutual Death"), a suicidal technique she attempted to use to eliminate her former sensei in the forest of death for the good of Konohagakure.
Trivia
- Mitarashi and anko are ingredients of dango, which coincidentally is Anko's favorite food. This affinity has brought her into conflict with Tsunade.
- According to official databook Anko’s Favourite foods are Dumplings, sweet bean soup and dango. Her least favourite foods are spicy foods. Her Hobby is tea ceremonies and her favorite phrase is "Arriving!".
Morino Ibiki
Name: Morino Ibiki, 森乃イビキ
Age: 271
Rank: Tokubetsu Jōnin1
Height: 193,5 cm1
Weight: 88 kg1
Birthday: March 20
Blood Type: A
Registration #: 010913
Affiliation: Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf)
Signature Ability: Torture, Interrogation
Morino Ibiki is the examiner for the first part of the Chūnin Selection Exam. As the commanding officer of the Konoha Anbu Torture and Interrogation Force (木ノ葉暗部拷問・尋問部隊, Konoha Anbu Gōmon/Jinmon Butai), the design of the first test is obviously his. Described as a sadist by some, Ibiki can easily make people experience mental suffering brought on by his interrogation skills while not even exerting physical torture. He has complete knowledge of human psychology; by attacking a person's mind, he can gain control over their spirit. Ibiki bears burn marks, punctures from where screws were used, and long slash marks, all the physical scars of having been horribly tortured himself. This perhaps illustrates his ability to withstand torture without giving up valuable information.
In the Tea Country filler arc of the anime, Morino Ibiki is shown to have a younger brother, Morino Idate, who left the village with Rakusho Aoi and defected to Hidden Rain. It was also shown that his scars were Aoi's doing. These two incidents have occurred only in the Anime and are not considered canon by fans.
Trivia
- "Morino Ibiki" means "A snore in the forest"; clearly a reference to the big bear that he is.
