sarutobi clan

The Sarutobi are a clan that have been around since the early days of Konoha. They served as the building blocks for the Ninja academy; Not having as many unique Jutsu and properties to their clan, they are able to easily teach a wide array of students accessible skills. 

Many Nin are fond of them due to their common positions as academic heads. You will find that most Konoha Ninja learned their Academy Techniques and basic Ninja techniques from the Sarutobi.

The Sarutobi do still maintain some unique identity, having Ash-based Jutsu as their Hiden. 

The Sarutobi are extremely intertwined with the monkey sages. During the Warring States period, they lived in close proximity to them. Since then, they have split off due to the monkey sages wanting to abstain from the quarrels of Shinobi. The monkey sages and Sarutobi both understood one anothers’ circumstances and maintain mutual respect - The Sarutobi refuse to disclose the location or inner workings of the monkey sages to Konohagakure.

A stranger will always give you a kind greeting when passing by. Civilians will often ask you to teach them Jutsu.
