Kage's

Hokage

The Hokage (meaning "Fire Shadow") are the leaders of Konoha. They are generally the strongest in the village, although ideology and renown plays a large part in their being chosen for the position.
Five shinobi and one kunoichi have gained this title so far. When the position for Hokage becomes open, whether because of the previous Hokage's death or incapacitation, the Konoha Council promptly begins to search for a replacement,in some cases within hours or days after a Hokage has been deemed dead or unfit; this can be seen in the case of Tsunade after she slipped into a coma.
After being appointed, they are given the Hokage mansion in which to live and have their faces carved out in the stone wall behind it. Though she was pointed out during the first part of the series, the Fifth Hokage's face was not carved out before the beginning of Part II.
According to Kakashi, once a shinobi has been appointed by the Konoha Council it is up to the Jonin of the village to determine whether the position will become official.

Kazekage

The Kazekage (meaning "Wind Shadow") are the leaders of Sunagakure. Feared and respected across the world, they are responsible for making Sunagakure a powerful and great village, despite its small size. However, being responsible for raising so many great shinobi seems to comes at a heavy price, as all the Kazekage so far have met untimely deaths at the hands of assassins. For this reason, the Kazekage lineage is sometimes considered cursed.

Mizukage

The Mizukage (meaning "Water Shadow") is the leader of Kirigakure. As such, their word holds sway over all political and military issues that present themselves regarding Kiri and its inhabitants. Zabuza Momochi once tried to assassinate a Mizukage as part of a coup d'etat, but failed.

Raikage

The Raikage (meaning "Lightning Shadow") is one of the five great Kage of the Naruto world and leader of Kumogakure. It is unknown how many Raikage there have been

Tsuchikage

The Tsuchikage (meaning "Earth Shadow") is the leader of Iwagakure and as such is the most powerful shinobi in the entire village.
