It took him five years to complete his Hermit Training and he was deemed the leader of the Tsurugi Clan. Years later he meets Itachi Uchiha, Ryun Uchiha, and Sasuke Uchiha when they form the Village Hidden in the Mountains (Yamagakure). After Itachi steps down as Yamakage, he becomes Nidaime Yamakage (Second Mountain Shadow). He founds Yamagakure's ANBU and it's Academy.
