♣ Konoha Monuments - The Kage Mountains ♣

[Shruikan Tenshi]

The Hokage Monument, or Hokage Mountain, is the most representative trait of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. It is a mountain that has had the faces of all the Hokage carved into the stone. During the first episode, Naruto Uzumaki painted the faces of the four Hokages as a joke, and revealed that he planned to surpass them, stating that his face will someday too be in the monument. At the beginning of the series, the Monument had the faces of the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, the Third Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage. During the timeskip, the face of the Fifth Hokage was added to the mountain, as Naruto found out in the first episode of Naruto Shippūden.
