Nidaime Hokage Anime

Nidaime was the younger brother of Shodai and Tsunade's grand uncle. He greatly contributed to Konoha's establishment as a major power. He was very proud of his superior combat ability, and was especially skillful at water jutsu to the point that he did not require a source of water to perform them. One such ability was Suiton: Suishoha, (Water Release: Water Shockwave) which allowed him to spit out a large body of water that he could control to attack others. He was the teacher of the Third Hokage, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane, and was the one to appoint the Third as his successor. He was resurrected and summoned by Orochimaru to battle the Third, who is eventually forced to seal away his soul to defeat him. In the Land of Tea arc, the Second was revealed to have owned a legendary sword called Raijin (Lightning God), the blade of which was composed of pure lightning-based energy and could retract into the handle. Despite being composed of pure energy, the blade can be cracked and broken like a regular sword, as shown at the end of the arc.
