Okay, in the wake of all these Hiruzen and Minato threads, I decided to make a more general one about the Hokage. Using facts and logic is preferable to trolling please. ;)

What is it that you like about a certain Hokage? Strength, character, MASSIVE BEWBS status?

If we were to sweep away all statements regarding who is the strongest HokagecoughHiruzencough, who would you pick as the strongest of the bunch and why.... and by that, of course, I mean not Tsunade. x)

Danzo by far was the strongest hokage. The guy was pretty much OP to the max. He had 10 izanagi's and could use Kotoama every few hours as opposed to 10 years. He is pretty much invincible in battle at full power.

Personally my favorite is Minato. The reason is due to him becoming such an incredible shinobi without the assistance of a kkg or bijuu.

As for who I'd believe to be the strongest hokage disregarding character statements would be Hashirama due to him defeating Madara at the valley of the end.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the best Hokage of them all, his character is incredible + unlike Minato he wasn't selfish; well, Minato was really selfish sealing the strongest Bijuu in his own son (not counting Juubi)

+ strongest is Hashirama, followed by Hiruzen (god of shinobi and man who defeated Madara)

My favourite is Tsunade, coz she's a woman ^_^, and women aren't very strong in Naruto

secondly, it's Minato, but only because of Naruto's birthday

Being selfish is looking out for ones own self. Minato wasn't doing that when sealing the kyuubi inside Naruto. He was thinking of the village and the entire world when he made that choice.

Favourite Hokage: Minato easily, various reasons, like the personality and the fact he became strong without KKG etc.
Strongest Hokage: Not really my choice as the manga blatently states Hiruzen is.
Best Hokage: Either Hiruzen or Minato who both died for the village. Hiruzen because he also successfully dealt with the Uchiha situation.

My Favourite is definetly Minato as well, his cool and calm attitude with the absolute intent on protecting his family is what makes me soo. I know the third loves the whole village, but Minato rivals that i think.

His skill set is not sooo insanely powerful that he can't be killed by stabbing, or can't be take out a whole village in a single move. He teleports and Rasengan, and obviously smart and insane observational awareness.

Oh and I can't forget I like how he took the over confident Tobi and smacked his face into the ground, and still made it in time to protect his family.

He died protecting and giving his son a reason to live(although it didn't turn out the way minato wanted, they hated him instead of thinking of Naruto as the saviour of the village)

oh, guys who say how Minato became awesome shinobi without KG, than remember that Tobirama, Hiruzen and Tsunade don't have KG as well

Being selfish is looking out for ones own self. Minato wasn't doing that when sealing the kyuubi inside Naruto. He was thinking of the village and the entire world when he made that choice.

not really, he could have sealed Kyuubi in Kushina, so that it would be revived again (Kyuubi) before that would happen, he would become stronger and could take care of Naruto, + he could have had Hiruzen with him against Kyuubi the 2nd time, tell me how that wasn't better idea

(it was Kushina's idea and he said NO)

But naruto was the only logical person to seal the nine tails in because he was the only person around and since he's part of the uzamaki clan he's able to handle the nine tails chakra

And? What does that have to do with me liking Minato for becoming such a powerful shinobi without the assistance of a kkg or bijuu. That's not the only reason I like him, it's one of the many.

not really, he could have sealed Kyuubi in Kushina, so that it would be revived again (Kyuubi) before that would happen, he would become stronger and could take care of Naruto, + he could have had Hiruzen with him against Kyuubi the 2nd time, tell me how that wasn't better idea

(it was Kushina's idea and he said NO)

It's never specified when a bijuu returns to life after it has been killed, so who knows how much time Minato would have to prepare.

Also that would allow Tobi to get his hands on the kyuubi since it would return and still be roaming around. That puts the village and the world at even greater risk.

It makes no difference whether Hiruzen and Minato teamed up becuase neither one of them are powerful enough to stop the kyuubi. The only way is to seal it, which Minato did.

I await Minato haters/trolls, what with all of those posting Minato as their favorite. xD

Minato already stated that the reason he couldn't do that was because Kurama would simply be revived without a Jinchurki to contain it, which would destroy the balance of the Tailed Beast, likely bringing about a war on Konoha by one of its enemies.

I Fail to see how that is selfish, trying to save the village by using his own son. it wasn't meant to give him power. Minato wanted the village to see Naruto as a hero for saving them, but instead they blamed naruto for the evil that the nine-tails did.

The reason he couldn't use kushina even if he wanted too, at that moment she was way to weak even for an uzumaki to continue to contain the beast for too long..

The strongest...I would have to say is Hashirama due to feats and hype.

what would stop minato from later sealing kurama in himself for example? + at that time was Konoha strongest, so war wouldn't be problem
