Right now in Naruto universe, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado are members
of Konoha Council.

![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/E4TQG.png)

They joined the council after Hiruzen becomes The Third Hokage. According to
naruto [Wiki:](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki)

> When Hiruzen became the Third Hokage, Homura and Koharu became his
> councillors. With their years of experience and knowledge and their unending
> effort to make Konohagakure a better place, they eventually gained similar
> respect and social status as the Hokage himself.

But it is known that before that, they're member of [Team
Tobirama](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Team_Tobirama), that also included
Sarutobi Hizuren and Tobirama himself. They fought together during the First
Shinobi War. So in this time their power could be compared to Hiruzen?

So, How strong are they now? Have they ever fought again after team Tobirama
was dissolved?

How powerful are Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado now?


Both of them were trained along with Hiruzen (the third hokage) by the first
and second Hokage (Hashirama and Tobirama) so we can assume them to be quite
powerful considering that they participated in the First Shinobi War as well.
As of now, they weren't shown in combat at all, not when Kyubi attacked the
village or not when Pain eradicated the village. I believe it'll be safe to
assume that they have technical skill and experience that they have gained
over the years but since unlike lady Chiyo, they don't use puppets or any
other tool to help them in combat, they're pretty much off the floor.

They're probably reasonably powerful, but it seems unlikely that they'd even
be as powerful as Danzo was, and right now compared to the god-like power of
Naruto, Sasuke, the Hokages, the Sage and his mum, their power is most likely
basically insignificant.

Years and years later...

Well, in my humble opinion they must be quite powerful. But, they must be "old
school" shinobi. Some elemental jutsu, shurikenjutsu and overall ninja field
skills. Danzo himself was, not taking his implants.

They being Councilors doesn't make them inoperable in field, actually. By
their old age, maybe. But in their younger years, not probably. You see, by
the series standards shinobi at their 50ies are still in "action". Orochi,
Tsuna, Jiraiya are Databook recordists, stronger even than Kakashi at his
30ies, at least in their "total". Also, in the series, shinobi starts getting
crampled in their physical stats at 65+. Like Chiyo and Hiruzen. Yet, both of
them remained very skilled technicaly.

In my view, at their prime, Homura and Koharu must have been Top-level Jonin
from Konohagakure, while Danzo and Hiruzen were Kage-material - actually
Hiruzen had unprecedent talent and is a powerhouse shinobi even today. Also,
they were elected by the Second Hokage to partake in his Escort Unite, said to
be comprised only by Elite Ninja. Also, at the Nine-Tails attack, they were
combat ready in the frontlines along Hiruzen and survived the ordeal, while
many younger Jonin died at the claws of the fox.

Kagami Uchiha, said to be an exceptionally strong shinobi from the Uchiha clan
died in the First Shinobi World War, with 25 years... not long after the
mission we saw in Danzo's flashback.
