Sarutobi came out of retirement to become Hokage again when the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to seal the Kyuubi inside Naruto. Sarutobi (his first name is unkown) was a student under the First and Second Hokages along with teammates Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane. He is the father of Asuma Sarutobi and grandfather to Konohamaru. The Third Hokage is a respected and wise elder figure in Konoha, he was the one that had ordered a ban on talk about the Kyuubi sealed inside Naruto amongst the adults in the village. Although old age has caught up with him, Sarutobi possesses knowledge of many techniques (some forbidden) and is more than a match for any S-Ranked ninja. Because he has witnessed the deaths of so many comrades in wars, Sarutobi always seeks diplomacy and peaceful resolutions to conflicts before violence can break out. Sarutobi enjoys smoking his pipe, and when not conducting Hokage duties, he likes to wander the village and talk to young girls. Although he maintains an authoritarian personality, Sarutobi may have a perverted side as well since he has fallen for Naruto's Sexy no Jutsu on more than one occasion. 
He was the sensei for Jiraiya,
Tsunade
and Orochimaru
from the very beginning when they were just genin. Sarutobi
favored Orochimaru for his natural talents as a shinobi. When
he
became the Third Hokage, Sarutobi planned to make Orochimaru his
replacement. However, Sarutobi was also aware of an
unquenchable
thirst for power inside Orochimaru. This trait proved to be
far
more deadly than Sarutobi had thought when Orochimaru was discovered to
have been kidnapping people for his experiments to achieve immortality.
When the crucial moment came, Sarutobi could not bring
himself to
kill his favorite student, thus allowing Orochimaru to escape and form
his organization.Allowing Orochimaru to live would prove to be a huge mistake years later when he returns to Konoha in an attempt to destroy it. Sarutobi was killed in his battle against Orochimaru, but in return he sealed his former students' arms so he can no longer perform jutsus. This major setback forces Orochimaru to retreat, thus saving Konoha from destruction. Episode 69, 71, 72 Abilities and Jutsus:
