In the third great ninja which was stated to last a few years, we saw the sanins fight we saw minato fight and also we saw kakashi and obito but the only one we didnt see was hiruzen, if he was as powerful as his hype he should have been at the front lines, that way war could have ended faster instead of sending mere kids to a blody war.

I mean i understand his role as hokage but that didnt stop hashirama to battle madara outside of the leaf, also tobirama died outside of the leaf in the battlefield, in the 4th great ninja war the fact the kages were the head of the alliance didnt stop them from going to face madara.
I mean if he was as powerful as he was hyped to be he could have saved a lot of lives going himself to war, i´m not saying he could have stopped the war all on his own but he could have been a great help.

Shows Hiruzen is all hype and no show.

Or he is that powerful and he didn't want to end the manga in one scan

Hashirama went to fight Madara cos he wanted him to stay by his side and be the next Kage, plus, it was 1 day.

Now Hiruzen on the other hand was dealing with Danzo, the Uchiha's and so on. Also, being on the front lines would mean months away from his duty as a Kage. Once Minato becane Kage, he never fought either.

As far as Hiruzen and the others knew, it was the Uchiha who chose to do what they did. Obito was just behind it all.

because a hokage once elected cannot be going on ninja missions anymore, his sole role is to ALWAYS be at the village in case of any attack so that he can put his life on the line to protect the citizens and the infrastructure itself.


...duh.


outside of the leaf is one thing... he did not want to harm the people dude...


ANOTHER COUNTRY... is a whole 'nother story.... obviously no... you DON'T get it.

hokage always stays in the village except in situation Which requires their presence and they are the village last line of defense.

Kage's role is to protect The King's/Queen's aka Future generation, so their responsibility lies more in the village .

Then explain Tobirama being out of the village in another Shinobi land at that, with his squad

No he means, they never suspected the Uchiha clan of anything prior to the Kyubi attack, Obito caused the Kyubi attack, at the time of the war (the time period in question), Obito was just a kid still in Konoha, so the Uchiha weren't a problem

That is how he survived all the wars while Sannins,Minato and other powerful shinobis went to war even kids went to war and died of stepping land mines and shit. He employed psychological warfare,he spread rumour among villagers about prime Hiruzen so nobody would dare question his potential.

Joking aside,

- Kages don't participate in Wars...
- When Hiruzen did went into battle, everyone was relying on Minato to save the day...
