Sarutobi Biwako

Sarutobi Biwako (猿飛ビワコ) was a high level citizen of Konohagakure, and the wife of Sarutobi Hiruzen. She was also the mother of Sarutobi Asuma. Biwako is also the grandmother of Sarutobi Konohamaru, and Mirai.

Background
It is unknown when she was born or who her parents were. In the anime, it was shown that a young Biwako peacefully lived in the newly founded Konohagakure, where she attended the Ninja Academy. One day, she fell down in front of it on the ground after bumping into someone and was comforted by Uchiha Madara, whose look frightened her deeply. Then his friend Senju Hashirama however, managed to calm her down by giving her a flower he received earlier.

As an adult, she then married Hiruzen the third Hokage. She also gave birth to two sons one of them was Asuma. While the identity of her second son is unknown.

After the end of the Third Shinobi war, Biwako and her husband had met with Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato shortly before Kushina was to give birth. Because Kushina was a jinchuriki, Hiruzen thought it best for Kushina to give birth at a secure location outside of the village where Minato could maintain the seal, guarded by ANBU and with Biwako and Taji as her midwives. While they were on their way to the location, Kushina stopped to speak with Uchiha Mikoto who had just had her own baby. Biwako was pleasantly surprised that Mikoto had decided to name the boy after her husband's father but prompted Kushina to leave, warning her as they left that her delivery was top-secret.

When Kushina went into labor, Biwako had to calm a hysterical Minato down as he maintained the seal, noting that women were a lot stronger than men. No sooner after Biwako delivered baby Uzumaki Naruto to be seen by Kushina, for the first time. She was struck down by Uchiha Obito who had also killed all the ANBU stationed outside.

Personality
Biwako seemed to be as wise and intelligent as her husband, giving somewhat sage like advice to Kushina about childbirth. She also seems to be very strongly opinionated about women, stating that they were far stronger than men because they can endure childbirth whereas men cannot. She also wasn't above scolding Namikaze Minato for not mainly focusing on keeping the seal intact during his wife's birth even though he was the Hokage.

In the anime, Biwako was shown to believe that when a child is born the mother should be the first of the two parents to meet the newborn due to what they go through during childbirth as shown when Minato tried to meet Naruto first, and she turned the newborn infant away from his father. Also in her childhood, she was very impressionable, as she was easily scared by Madara's glare.

Appearance
Biwako had long, brown hair which she kept in a high ponytail, dark eyes, and slightly visible creases at the corners of her eyes and her mouth. She wore a purple kimono like dress, along with a white haori and sandals. As a child, Biwako's hair was shoulder length with a pink flower hair band, she wore a green kimono, light brown long sleeves shirt with a loquat on the back, red pants and sandals.

Abilities
Biwako was supposedly a very powerful medical ninja.
