    People criticize Tsunade for not fighting Pain. Some of them say that she is useless. But I think during the Pain arc she prioritises the life of Konoha citizens as a true Hokage should. As for her fighting skills we saw it enough against Orochimaru and Madara. As the first female Hokage she did pretty damn good. She deserved that Hokage spot as a legendary Sanin. And you guys remember when she trashed those two village elders? - That was pure satisfaction right there.......

      Her job during the Pain attack was to keep the village alive while Naruto was on his way back. She did an admirable job of that even after the Almighty Push. Her use of the slugs to communicate with everyone and to protect the village people during the attack was very important. She knew her role and played it. She also used Naruto in the very best way even against the advice of the village elders. Her boldness and belief in using Naruto is what saved the world. Lol, she’s one of my favorite characters if you haven’t noticed.

    I'd like to think that if Tsunade became the Hokage after Minato's death, things would have been so different for Konoha and the storyline in general. She wouldn't have tolerated Danzo's scheme and therefore could have possibly stopped the Uchiha's upheaval. She would have cared for Naruto much better, and she would not have hesitated to kill Orochimaru on the spot if she knew about his experiment.

But that was after her resolve as a character through Naruto's rasengan arc. If something like that had happened before the 3gsw, and she got elected as minato, that wouldve completely changed the story. But if she was like how she actually was in the story, an alcoholic gambler who is in denial, depression, feared blood and battle all because of how traumatized she was, she would'nt even have been elected.

      But now that I think of it, if that was the case, we wouldn't have the Naruto that we have now if he didn't have to go through that rough childhood to develop his strongest jutsu, the talkno jutsu.

This is a shonen so many people thinks being strong is everything, but you're one of the few that knows what is most important for a village to grow stronger.

I can’t speak for you but from my own experience if my opps and my gang suddenly become cordial after decades of bloodshed AND i knew exactly how their abilities worked, personally i’d be weary of them too. You gotta take into consideration the fact that Danzo was the embodiment of everything evil within Konoha beyond Tobirama’s hatred of the uchiha. Tobirama legitimately disbanded his own clan in order to bolster Konoha as a whole AND selected Kagami as a member of his personal squad because Kagami understood Tobirama’s ideology for Konoha over his own clan. Cut that shit out. Danzo lacked the experience Tobirama had while fighting them for years to realize HOW & WHY their kekegenki worked. Danzo didn’t even understand why Tobirama didn’t like the Uchiha, he only understood their power was rooted in darkness (which he was right) and that’s all. Tobirama established the konoha police force to help the uchiha maintain a position of prominence unaware that Danzo was gonna have them moved the the furthest part of the village. Shit it was also Danzo who leaked that Naruto was the Jinchuriki so that the Village would focus their anger on him. So when Hiruzen made it against the fucking law to bully Naruto who had to enforce it and catch the “fuck the police” chants from the Villagers? The Uchihas. Tobirama takes all the credit for the bs Danzo did. He took the idea of “Uchiha bad” as doctrine. He was so overzealous to the point Shisui was in his face saying “yeah agreed but lets just do this peacefully” and Danzo said nah then did what he did. Cut that shit out Tobirama is the best Kage in naruto and your Uchiha fanboying only facilitating the narative Tobirama is racist when that’s simply not true

Konoha is composed of the famous Senju and Uchiha clan, it also is the one to first propose peace to all other major village by initially giving them A tailed beast for free before Tobirama charged them for exuberant amount of money making Konoha one of the few village to actually recover enough after the Shinobi world wars meaning Konoha is rich. it has the famous white fang, the sannin, Yellow flash, God of Shinobi.

Compared to the rain village it is a podunk town. The quality of ninja does not reflect on the state of the town. The logistics necessary to take a town from where it is during Tsunade's tenure to where it is during Naruto's inauguration is insane. a marvelous feat, and Kakashi deserves a lot of credit for that.

The only negative things that happened during her stay was the attack of Pain and well the 4th great ninja war, and she saved countless lives BOTH TIMES.

      To me Hiruzen's problem is that he is too trustworthy and kind and as a result the people close to him took advantages of him and wrecked Konoha such as Danzo and Orochimaru. This is why he is a bad hokage to me. I love one part where Hashirama and Madara fights and Hashirama says that he would kill his own children if it is to protect Konoha. This shows how much he believes in the idea of Konoha and what it stands for which the Uchiha was never able to do. Hiruzen was not able to do that as his emotion made him so weak. He made two biggest mistakes, one was trusting Danzo so much and after finding out about him, should have just executed him. 2nd he should have executed Orochimaru when he found out about the experiments instead of letting him go like an idiot. If he did this, the story would have been so much different.

    I think one of the reason Minato seem to be not doing anything at his time is bc he was not as prepare as the others. Aside from the first two Hokages, the others kind of have some experience beforehand. Hiruzen was Tobirama student since young, and then he had lots of time to do the job before he get too old to handle it. Tsunade was old when she got the job and she was raised from Hokages family so it could be a bonus point to understabd the real concept of being one. Kakashi was also old when Tsunade retire and Naruto got trained to be one right after the war. Only Minato didn't have those experience and he also didn't have that much time to do it. The reason he got chosen at that age is bc the Sannin didn't turn out to be what Hiruzen expect.

    Some video ideas for you Nick :)
    1. What if Orochimaru took Kakashi and later take over his body (which has already awakened the Kamui Mangekyou) when he was escaping, instead of passing him by due to Kakashi being a dollar store Uchiha lol
    -important to note: Orochimaru has already done experiments with Hashirama cells. And can graft H-cells to bodies. So Kakashi's body with Mangekyou, H-cell grafts to mitigate or negate the chakra cost and the eye going blind. Orochimaru in the driving seat of the body.
    Kakashis body with a limitless kamui (H-cells) plus all of Orochis abilities and intellect and pure black air forcec energy he was known for in Naruto first part. Imagine the absolute carnage and destruction he could cause in the Shinobi world. Hizuzen would get bodied on low diff when he decides to kill him, etc etc. He can even pretend to be Kakashi and go back to the village and capture and kill naruto and take the 9 tails for himself and fight the Akatsuki because theres only room for one sherriff in town or something OR because he learns about Obitos plans for the world and doesnt like that fact that itll take away his freedom to chose. I mean his desire for immortality is partly about absolute freedom right. OR pretend to be Kakashi and join the Akatsuki (which would be weird i know since Obito is the leader). Either way itll be glorious to see.
    2. What if Orochimaru takes an interest in Kakashi (when they meet while he was running away from Hiruzen) and convinces Kakashi to come under him. So same as above, Kakashi with H-cell grafts but his body is not taken over by Orochi. Kakashi goes back to the village as a spy or sleeper agent for Orochi
    3. What if Minato sealed the 9 tails in Kakashi instead of newborn Naruto
    Lore for this story:
    - After Rin dies and Kakashi (and Obito) activates the Kamui, he like immediately notices something change with his body (as all Mangekyou awakenings does)
    - He tells Minato about it. Minato suspects the awakening and takes him to a trusted Uchiha (perhaps even Fugaku since Fugaku have already accepted and decided to not make a big deal about Kakashi receiving the eye). The Uchiha listens to the story and teaches Kakashi how to test if he has awakened by pouring chakra into the eye or something. They discovers that he in fact has awakened.
    - He trains the Mangekyou under the Uchiha and gets to the lets say early shippudden level. But the chakra cost is still as bad as in the original story.
    - Since his Kamui is super broken space time ability, and the use of the ability and the change in his body after the awakening makes his body's tolerance to space time travel/teleportation better than other people, Minato decides to teach him the flying raijin.
    - So Kakashi with Kamui and Fying Raijin. Two of the most broken space time abilities BUT he still dont have the chakra to effectively use both of them in battle.
    -Nine tails attacks - Minato recognizes that Kakashi is the perfect host of the 9 tails since A: Not a literal newborn. B: He's a once in a generation genius. C: Minato's own (last surviving) top student. D: Teenager, Prodigy, 4th Hokage's student, Jonin, Anbu Captian, , Made a name for himself in the war. Soooo in a much better position mentally, socially/politically to deal with all that comes with being a Jinchuriki. E: Is in serious need of a good chakra reserve and not getting it possibly wasting his potential (already having activated a broken space time eye, plus a broken space time jutsu, but not having enough chakra to use them effectively). F: Leaf having a combat ready Jinchuriki immediately after Kushina dying, instead of having to wait for newborn naruto to grow up and be combat ready.
    -The story continues but with Kakashi as the MC.
    4. Might Guy as the Jinchuriki of the 9 tails. The Jubidara fight. Kurama activates Baryon mode. But here Baryon mode is Kurama activating the 8th gate instead of that bullshit nuclear fusion thing from the actual story. So both Guy and Kurama activating the 8th gate at the same time, against Jubidara and maybe Kaguya (Assuming itll last longer than the original).
    Fr tho, this should have been what Baryon mode is in the original too instead of the ass-pull nuclear fusion bullshit. Of cause in this it'll be kurama alone activating the 8th gate. 8th Gate already has a set precedent in the original story, plus itll be a cool call back to one of peak moments from Shippudden.

Like 10-20 years seem like a good time to be hokage since the world would move forward and the old ways don’t always work the same so hiruzen being a muscle for minato was a good time.

    I'm afraid I have to disagree with Hiruzen's placement above Tsunade. Just because Hiruzen was the longest Hokage does not excuse his mistakes. As a matter of fact, he could have retired at any point and given the job to someone more suitable. After Minato's death, he should have been an interim Hokage and found Minato's replacement, Orochimaru mentions this during his assault on Konoha. Crediting all the wars to Hiruzen is also a stretch, the Sannin were responsible for the second and Minato the third, only the first could be added to his achievements. Again, giving him an achievement for pushing the Nine tails out of the village is also a stretch. If I lock my front door before Michael Myers walks in, I'm safe right? the same thing. Minato is the one that defeated the nine tails and removed the threat and also protected the village from being blown up. I won't even get into Naruto, the Uchiha, or Danzo because yikes.
    Tsunade inherited a destroyed village and all the problems of her predecessors. She is also the one that had naruto's back throughout the story if she weren't there naruto would probably be locked up in a cage somewhere. It's unfortunate that we didn't see her fight during the pain arc but she still contributed heavily with Katsuya and provided all the intel she had to naruto. As a matter of fact, if Danzo did not kill the messenger toad and Naruto came back when she sent for him, Pain wouldn't have even blown up the village. There's is just so much she did that I think it's unfair to put her below hiruzen.

The forest and buildings making up the leaf village were created with his jutsu. Not to mention he decided to carve up his own clan to ensure the leaf village has enough powerful ninja to defend itself. Hard to compare those kind of things with the more political wins of Tobirama which is why I don't disagree with the ranking, I just think those things Hashirama did were on another level for contributing to konoha

    Tsunade is easily the best Hokage.
    Hashirama let a dangerous maniac with eternal mangekyo's escape out into the world and gave the other villages the bijuu to use as M.A.D.s which is definitely a great idea that wouldn't result in a massive loss of life anywhere you aren't specifically if one was used.
    Tobirama stigmatized the Uchiha that he knows for a fact hold a grudge more than anybody and created the zombie jutsu. Because obviously that's necessary.
    Hiruzen. Just Hiruzen.
    Minato both got his wife pregnant which he knew would weaken the seal and used the reaper death seal instead of, i don't know, any seal that doesn't specifically require you to die and leave your people and son in the aftermath of a natural disaster?
    Kakashi was not a good leader by any account just based off his teaching methods.
    And Naruto never actually does any hokage-ing anymore because he's too busy fighting aliens. Plus he's just an idiot in general.
    Tsunade meanwhile took a village that just got invaded and fixed it completely in 2 years. She was on top of her paperwork and pushed through reform for her hospital and managed to protect her people during pein's invasion. Her only real downfall were the 3 crusty old bastards her teacher left her to deal with so they could keep causing problems for everyone after he was gone

      I mean you kinda took the worst of each kage, extrapolating it with headcanon.
      You can easily say:
      Tsunade was the weakest kage, each other kage would have gone down and almost single handedly stopped pain but Tsunade was too weak to do that. Basically let a whole village get destroyed and relied on a 15 year old kid to save the village when it’s a Kage’s job.
      Despite been in the most peaceful time in ninja history barring post 4th great ninja war, Konoha made no progress technology wise, no progress diplomatically, the only improves were by the doing of Naruto with the sand. Hiruzen had to deal with 3 ninja wars, Tobirama had to deal with ninja war and at least attempted to make diplomatic moves.
      Her failure to rein in Danzo, basically the only failure of Hiruzen was passivity towards Danzo and she just kept the trend going.
      It’s easy to say what a kage did wrong.
      But what did Tsunade do to improve Konoha when she was kage? Very little.

Tobirama also says that the Uchiha is "a clan possessed by evil". So an argument can be made that he does in fact dislike all Uchiha, not just Madara.

      While there is no actual proof of Tobirama not disliking the whole Uchiha clan, I do think his dislike or rather his cautiousness towards them partially stems from his knowledge about the sharingan. He studied the sharingan on Madaras corpse (sure, not the morally greatest thing to do) and found out, that the sharingan and it's powers awaken and increase when the wielder is in a great emotional state. And one of those great emotional states is deep hatred. Uchihas are known to have strong bonds with each other and during the warring states period Tobirama most likely saw a lot of Uchihas losing their loved ones and as a result awaken/increasing their sharingan powers.
      So in the case of an Uchiha entering such a strong emotional state, it can be argued that Tobirama as someone who is a pragmatic, logical and thoroughly planning person would like to at least take precautions to such a case. Though it might not be granted that said Uchiha would become a lunatic and run wild because of that, it is still unpredictable and CAN pose a threat to the villagers/village. And since you can lose a loved one even in peace periods (be it through accidents or intrigues), it might not be the worst idea to at least prepare for that. (Remember that the one who put the Uchihas to the outskirts was NOT Tobirama but Hiruzen/Danzo/the Elders.)
      And I mean he was greatly impacted by his loved ones deaths mostly caused by Uchihas and how Madara turned out to be on top of that.
