Judging by what we saw in this chapter, Hashirama and Tobirama expressed views that are pretty much the core of their future policy. Since those two were Kages and judging their intellect overall one definitely can't classify them as geniuses of any sort, Itachi thinking like a Kage back when he was 7 doesn't seem special anymore.
Kishimoto wasn't very careful in this. He basically overhyped Itachi in one chapter, and then downgraded him back to normal.
