Arashihogo

The are the leaders of Gufūgakure. As the leader and most respected ninja in the village, the Arashihogo has the same responsibilities as a Kage would, however its importance and its influence on issues over other nations are inferior of the. The Arashihogo is the strongest ninja of Gufūgakure and its achievements, strength and intelligence are important during its election. Usually the leader is chosen by its predecessor, however, if it ever dies or is incapacitated to make the election, its successor will be chosen by the Gufūgakure Board. The Storm Daimyō has the right to vote for a candidate and, in case of a tie, his vote decides who should be elected. Very informally it is also called. Busts of all the former Arashihogo are kept in the room where Gufūgakure' board convenes, similar to what is done with the Kazekage's statues.

First Arashihogo
The was a member of Gufūgakure's founder clan. Once it was decided to create the title of leader, he was unanimously elected by all those entitled to vote, even though he was still a teenager. Unfortunately, his time as leader did not last long, because he was ambushed by a Otogakure group that wanted to steal his Kekkei Genkai (although this is unknown, it is known that it was one of the treasures of the village). To prevent his Kekkei Genkai fall into the hands of Orochimaru, the First Leader committed suicide.

Second Arashihogo
The was the successor of the First Arashihogo. He is considered the second best Arashihogo of the history. His singular intelligence allowed several scientific departments were created in Gufūgakure (which spawned the scientific recognition of the village). Because of him, the village began to use wind energy as a sustainable energy source.
