This administrative group is responsible for the selection and approval of new Chuunin, Jounin and Kage for each Hidden Village.

Hidden Leafs administrative group was responsible for the selection of the new Fifth Hokage. Their first choice was the Legendary Sannin Jiraiya, he declined but he offered to find the other Sannin Tsunade to ask if she would take the position. After finding Tsunade, she eventually agreed to take on this duty and the Council appointed her as the Fifth Hokage.

In Hidden Sand the Council was responsible for choosing a new Kazekage after the previous ones fell in battle. After Sandaime Kazekage disappeared under mysterious circumstances, the Council was slow in picking a new leader, much to the village's detriment. For that reason they made moves to quickly find a new Kage after Godaime Kazekage fell in battle.
