Each hokage's biggest mistakes. Not character bashing each hokage has done great things as well!



Hashirama took Madara and the different clans too lightly thinking that it could work itself out

Tobirama was too suspicious of clans most notably the Uchiha causing hatred and distrust

Hiruzen giving danzo power/ not dealing with orochimaru sooner.

Minato wasn't hokage long enough. Although the ninetails attack was sudden. maybe he could have done things differently. but I don't think so

tsunade didn't seem to be prepared for pain to attack the village. She could have reinforced the village more. And was being pushed around by danzo

Kakashi never makes mistakes. He's Kishi's favorite character.

Naruto... we don't know anything about

Who Made The Biggest Mistake I Think Is:
HIRUZEN

First Hashirama was trying to bring the village together peacefully. It was never like him to be forceful or bold if there wasn't a good enough reason.

Tobirama he made a big mistake with what he did with the Uchiha. He had the Anbu spy on them but not only them. Also Hiruzen and Minato allowed this to go on. So should they be blamed as well? The uchiha were killed by uchihas who had no regrets and felt it had to be done.

Tsunade even though the village seemed unprepared for the possibility for Pain to attack at anytime. Helped heal the injured.

Now why hiruzen made the biggest mistake. Danzo/Orochimaru

Danzo his arch-rival was given power to deal with the "darkness" of the village. Well he turned Hanzo against Yahiko killing him. Thus forming the akatsuki. During the ninetails attack danzo didn't help and gave orders for the uchiha to not get involved. making the village think it was their doing. He worked together with orochimaru who was a serious criminal.

Orochimaru. Hiruzen was fully aware of what orochimaru was doing but never took action and let him get away. Orochimaru did a lot of bad which could have been prevented had Hiruzen of done something eariler.

So that's what I think now. Hiruzen is called God of Shinobi. He led the village through 2 great wars. Improved on the ninja systems. Kept the village together for several decades. Has had the longest reign as a hokage and was highly influential not only on the leaf but also the world. Hiruzen was a great hokage but he made the biggest mistake or you could say 2. (Danzo/Orochimaru)

Tobirama kept his racist views against the Uchiha and took away their rights. He only made them Police, so he could keep close tabs on them. Every clan got their slice of the pie, but the Uchiha got the crumbs. They were co founders and should've had a seat within Konoha's government, but nope.

Tobirama's Will was passed down to Danzo, who Hurizen let gain too much power. Danzo tried to assassinate him, was the reason behind all the missing children being kidnapped for Oro's experiments, and was also the reason why the Uchiha are dead. Hurizen was too soft even though he knew Danzo made an attempt on his life. He was also behind Sasuke and Kabuto becoming evil. Itachi obeyed him like house b!tch.

Tobirama

Hashirama is partly to blame for leaving his bias brother in charge, but the bias brother takes the blame. Tobirama created Edo Tensei which brought nothing but destruction to the Leaf and the ninja world, with the small exception of Orochimaru reviving the Hokage for Sasuke and aiding in the war. He also segregated the most powerful clan and roused their anger when they could have been of great help, he gave them authority which tends to be hated. He then left Madara's body intact when he should have destroyed it, if Tobirama did so many things differently we'd be in a different world. All Kages have made mistakes but he has made the most by far.

Tobirama - His ideals lead to rebellion.
3rd Hokage - Let Danzo do what he please.
Minato - Failed to take care of Obito.
Tsunade - Horrible.
Kakashi - Didn't do shit. Lord Sasuke had to save the village.

1. Hashirama: Not sure with him. Maybe he was too idealistic Zzz
2: tobirama: treated the Uchiha like criminals, albeit he had right to fear them rebelling. Sort of up in the air with him.
3. Hiruzen: not killing Orochimaru when he had the chance or at least taking him into custody. Also having danzo run rampant with his BS
4: minato: Not sure, he hadn't really did much besides prevent kurama from destroying the leaf. O guess he should have not died Zzz
5: Tsunade: Instigating things with Pein which lead to ST on the village.
6: Kakashi: Same with minato, he didn't really have much shown, actually even less than minato.
7: naruto: Pretty much featless, hokage wise, so I got nothing.

Kakashi being the first fodder to become Hokage. He couldn't do a thing against Toneri's puppets and the meteor.

Tsunade was orginally suppose to fight Pain, but Kishi's editors or whoever made him drop it. BEcause she was going to land a punch and it wouldve killed the most important pain.

Because letting the tailed beast wreck havoc on the village was a better plan.

Hashirama for stopping Tobirama from killing Madara.

Tobirama for running his mouth about the Uchiha after Madara and Hashirama built Konoha. Everyone was happy then that bozo started flapping his gums, messing things up. Hashirama should've smacked him and showed him who's boss.

Well... by the laws of averages, odds and what not then yeah - Hiruzen is pretty ****ed. He served/reigned the longest so it's likely his is probably the greatest **** up.

That being said, I think Hashirama giving the other nations Tailed Beasts was... mind-blowingly retarded. No wonder Tobirama despaired with his brother's overly generous nature, no wonder he questioned his judgement (with regards to the Uchiha), Hashirama made mistakes like anyone else.

Minato - I suppose his greatest mistake was knocking up his Jinchuriki wife. Masssive failure on their part not to consider the consequences, not that they were to know Madara Uchiha had laid down a devious plot decades in the making to destroy them.
Hmm... his greatest mistake was dying. Not sure how avoidable it could have been to honest, but he was eager to save Kushina at the cost of himself. In an ideal situation Kushina should have performed the technique and Minato should have lived, his survival would (likely) prevented the mistakes Hirzuen would continue/create later on.

Afterall, what good is a Hokage to Konoha and it's people if they're dead?

As far as I'm concerned Tobirama wasn't as bad as most people make out. Sure, Orochimaru delivers a nice speech but people seem to forget he's a slippery bastard who experiemented on children - Konoha's children. Personally, depsite his genius I don't think his analysis of the situation should carry as much weight as it did.
Had Tobirama truly had been against the Uchiha he would have slaughtered himself. Was he wrong to believe the Uchiha were possessed by "evil"? Having seen what he had, I doubt it... the madness that was inflicted by awakening the mangekyou sharingan is horrific, not to mention the lengths some went to gain it.

I don't think it was Tobirama's fault as such for the idea he implemented - but for Hiruzen not adapting to to fit the situation, the changes within their society.
He should have included other clans like the Inuzuka, the Aburama, Akimichi and the Hyuga into the police force... or into other branches of it.

Tsunade... well, she maintained the village as best she could I suppose. Not overly impressed by her lack of disciple in herself and in others (Danzo, Naruto etc).


OVERALL: HIRUZEN

There is a new Akatsuki on the rise. If Lord Sasuke's revolution took place, then there wouldn't be evil.
