Yeah, she's an ex-Kage. She was deposed and didn't keep the title. She's just... Sort of there in Konohagakure without rank.

I am aware. I am simply stating something we ended up discovering in the anime, a 'filler' episode made it known that some villages tried to be recognized like the Five Great Nations capitals, but were not official, so therefore they will not be recognized on the same level. As long as you understand that to some characters you may not be a true 'Kage' or 'Ex-Kage' then there is no problem.

Thank you for clarifying that Aeron, do continue.
