Information
The Second Hokage (ډΉe, Nidaime Hokage?) was the younger brother of the First Hokage, making him the grand uncle of the Fifth Hokage (Tsunade) and Nawaki. He was highly skilled in water jutsu, and could even perform them without a water source. He contributed greatly to the development of Konoha by establishing the Ninja Academy and many more of Konoha's systems and organizations. He died while fighting in the Ninja World War, after first having given his title of Hokage to his student, Sarutobi. The anime's Tea Country arc reveals that the Second possessed a valuable retractable energy sword called Raijin (_, Raijin? lit. "Thunder God", English TV: "Sword of the Thunder Spirit"). Despite its appearance as an arc of lightning, the blade can be cracked and broken like a regular sword, as shown at the end of the arc.
Decades after the Second's death, Orochimaru resurrects both him and the First to battle their former student, the Third Hokage. With the Third unable to defeat them in his old age, he seals away their souls, sentencing them to an eternity of continuous battle.
