Four Pillars Of New Konohagakure
Shikamaru Nara
Man with 200 IQ aka Smartest person in whole Shinobi world
Advisor of Hokage and chief of staff at Hokage Office
One of only two members Rookie 9 to become Jonin after war.
Crucial part of Allied Shinobi
It's said that the Shinobi Alliance worked due to Shikamaru of Konohagakure (Source: Shikamaru Hiden)
Fun Fact: Before getting married Shikamaru used to send letters to Temari instead of emails as he didn't found the medium trustworthy.(Source:Gaara Hiden)🥰
When Gaara found out about Shikamaru and Temari's relationship he started reading Icha Icha Paradise so he could understand why he didn't saw this coming like Kankuro .(Source:Gaara Hiden)
Sakura Haruno/Sakura Uchiha
Strongest Kunoichi of her generation and one of the Three Strongest Shinobi alive.
Best Medic Ninja in Five Great Shinobi Nations and Head of Medical Department of Konohagakure.
One of only two members Rookie 9 to become Jonin after war.
Started mental health clinics for war orphaned children in Konoha and Other Shinobi Nations (Inspiration being Mirai, Naruto, Sasuke and Sai so other kids could get the mental and emotional support her friends weren't able to). (Source: Sakura Hiden)
Gaara acknowledges her as a Shinobi of his class in terms of power and has acknowledged her as an example of Shinobi who's very powerful despite not being a part of any ninja clan. (source: Gaara Hiden)
Fun Fact: She not only surpassed tsunade in in fighting and medical skills but also kinda in gambling (i.e. cards) she has a genius level memory that she can memorize all the moments of cards to the point that she knows all of your cards and thus win, lose or draw it's all in her hands, all thanks to her analytical skills that rivals Sharingan - implied by Sasuke in Chunin arc and Boruto-Tip: Never play cards with Sakura cuz it's bound to be an unfair game😅. ( Source: Sasuke Retsuden)
Sasuke Uchiha
One of the two Strongest Shinobi Alive, The one with the Sharingan and Rinnegan. Only Shinobi equal to Naruto.
Known as Shadow Hokage, one who protects Konoha from outside through the shadows.
Former Avenger.
Sacrificed normal peaceful life i.e. living with his wife Sakura and beloved daughter Sarada to protect Shinobi world from threat that might be greater than Kaguya, as he was only one who could do this mission (due to his visual prowess) which led him to staying away from his family for years. (Source: Naruto Gaiden)
Likes to blend science of nature in his jutsus for example: creating barrier of pure water i.e. pure H2O so it doesn't conduct electricity like normal water and creating ice using water nature and wind nature together. (Source: Sasuke Shinden: the star pupil)
Fun Fact: Sasuke was probably the last person of his generation to read Icha Icha Paradise considering even Gaara was 12 years ahead of him in this case.(Source:Naruto Shinden: Parent and Child day)(On that day Sasuke found out that Karma exists-any smart person can guess what I'm trying to say)😅
Just like Naruto he is still a Genin even though he'smore powerful than any Kage, Except Naruto.
Naruto Uzumaki
One of the two Strongest Shinobi Alive, the one of the last two jinchuriki and also the strongest one.
The Seventh Hokage aka Nanadaime.
Man because of whom the formation of Shinobi Alliance was possible in first place.
Has to do the mountains of paper work, sometimes he overworks himself leading him not being able to spend much time with his family(Hinata, Boruto and Himawari), all for the well being and development of village that he considers as a family to him.
Most unpredictable Shinobi in history of Shinobi world.
Before becoming a Hokage he used to train next generation ninjas of academy occasionally during his Hokage training.(source:The Last movie and Sakura Hiden)
Fun Fact: He is only Hokage to be directly promoted from Genin to Hokage. (but considering the fact that he is more powerful than any other kage, Jonin and chunin so participating in Chunin exam at that point would be pointless)😀
Note: 1)Most of the points mentioned above are after war, source being Canon Novels and Manga.
2) Before anyone asks why Kakashi Sensei isn't on list it's because I consider him as very foundation of this four pillars, the work they are doing at this point was possible due to Kakashi aka Rokudaime's support and guidance.

So Kisame's often considered the fourth most powerful Akatsuki member, but the top three are pretty unanimously Obito, Pain and Itachi. And with Kisame's motto being survival of the fittest and MO being taking out the weakest links, it’s fascinating to see him end up as one of the most well connected members of the Akatsuki. And since the top three never openly get to clash, technically speaking, he stays loyal to all of them. He's;
- Working broadly for Pain, Akatsuki's open leader, who wants to create peace through traumatising the world through a cycle of war
- Working secretly for Obito, Akatsuki's real leader (and by proxy, Madara and Zetsu, Akatsuki's real-real leaders), who wants to create peace through trapping the world in a dream realm
- Working day-to-day for/with Itachi, the Akatsuki's biggest name, most powerful field member, and a secret double agent, who wants to create peace through becoming the most powerful shinobi that's ever lived, and through using that power 'as much as he wants', 'lead the world to subjugation'
So either Kisame is the ninja equivalent of the minions, or the dojutsu wielding top three of the Akatsuki all looked to him and went 'yup, he's Henchman Shaped'

Okay I just gotta go off about this real quick.
People don't understand Naruto as much as they think they do, and I am considering making youtube videos just to prove it.
For some reason, people say that Rock Lee better embodies the main theme of Naruto than Naruto himself. These people, wrongly, state the main theme of Naruto to be that a person born with no special skills can beat a prodigy. This is incorrect. The theme of Naruto is right in the "talk no jutsu" meme. It is a story of acceptance, acceptance of others, and of yourself. Naruto can reach almost anyone with just words because his power is in his ability to connect to those around him.
Kishimoto doubled down on this in Shippuden by introducing infinite tsukuyomi and the sage of 6 paths. There is a clear dichotomy there that emphasizes the theme. Forced connection and acceptance vs genuine connection and acceptance.
It's funny to me that people hate how Naruto secretly was "special all along," so he doesn't fit the "whole theme of the show." No, he doesn't fit your assumption of the theme. He never did because he was special from chapter/episode 1. Did we all forget that Mizuki told us that Naruto had the demon fox in him since day 1? The fox with so much Chakra the 4th Hokage died sealing it away?
The theme that people swear is the whole theme of Naruto was specifically for a section of one arc. It starts with Lee vs Sasuke and ends with Naruto vs. Neji. The reason Lee fits the theme so much is because, it's Lee's character arc feeding into Naruto's journey. Naruto watched Lee and Hinata give it all they could to the point of injury and then he decided to beat Neji and show him that they could pick their own destiny.
