Generally, the new Hokage is selected by the current Hokage upon
their retirement, but if the old Hokage dies or is incapacitated before
being able to do so, the Fire Daimyō
will appoint a Hokage Candidate upon the recommendation of the Konoha
council and the Fire Daimyō council. Afterwards, the candidate will need
to be approved by the jōnin of the village to become officially Hokage.
After being approved, they move into the Hokage Residence
to live in and have their faces carved out in the monument behind it.
If the former Hokage is still alive, they will generally keep helping
out, making the transition easier and more stable. The Hokage carry
their title for life, even after retiring from active duty. The Hokage's
office is located in the administrative section of the Academy.
