Like you said yourself, Minato had a lot less time as a Hokage.
1. She ended up losing to Oro's student, Kabuto.
2. She didn't form the alliance, she was unconsious when it was formed...
3. Kakashi was a Jounin, 13 year old or not. And he even wanted to follow the rules and go home, so if the Obito hadn't decided to break the rules and obey Kakashi, the person Minato gave the responsibility to, nothing would have happened, except Rin would have died. This was entirely Obito's fault, Minato had nothing to do with this.
4. Minato would have been equally useful in the fight against Madara. She may have healing abilities, but he has sealing abilities, which would likely have been more useful.
5. Minato trained Kakashi, who is the sole reason Obito is not soloing everyone by himself. IMO, Sakura won't ever be able to surpass Kakashi

I'm not dissing Tsunade, all I'm saying is that you overrate her achievements as the Hokage... Minato pretty much won a war by himself ffs..

Most of Minato's feats as a Hokage proved he was a good Ninja not a good leader. Tsunade is a much better leader then Minato.

Most of Minato's feats as a Hokage proved he was a powerful Ninja not a good leader. Tsunade is a much better leader then Minato.

1.- Does it matter? my point was that she took on Orochimaru, Minato's most powerful rival was his 14 years old student and he didnt manage to kill him despite the circumstances. Failed to recognize him too.
2.- Despite being unconsiocus while the alliance started, she is in fact leading it along the Raikage.
3.- You could say anything in his defense but the fact is Minato didnt anticipate his team failing, which was more than obvious, he didnt identify Rin as a mist spy(Huge mistake from a sensei). And was late to save Obito. An incredible amount of negligence in that area.
4.- Thats Hypothetical as Minato isnt alive, im just stating facts, Minato's career ended because of his student. Tsunade's because of the 4th great war and Edo Madara.
5.- Minato did an horrible job with Obito he was by far the worst Uchiha in history, he became strong trying to save Kakashi, and Kakashi is putting a fight against Obito because the latter gave him his OP eye. Where is Minato there? Kakashi is also the ninja he is, mainly because his experiences fighting Akatsuki and having the Sharingan, otherwise we would have a Raikiri only ninja. Not the copy ninja Kakashi of the sharingan. Sakura is going to be the main Medical ninja in this generation, while Kakashi if not being for the Obito matter would be replaceable as hell.

Ps: You also keep focusing on combat prowess, when being Hokage is way more than that.

An Hokage is a leader of the leaf village, what I don't understand is how Minato became Hokage when he couldn't even train his three students properly, lets just review on each of his students:

Kakashi was arrogant and ignorant and only realised what a total d*** he had been when Obito was dying in front of him but that really didn't sink in that well because he killed Rin presumably because of his mission.
Obito Looked quite normal except for his mental obsession with Rin which lead him down a path "the only way I can save the world is by deluding everyone!".
Rin seemed like your everyday badboy chaser, didn't give two s**** about Obito she just loved Kakashi even though he completely ignored her.

Seriously If I was one of the elders or the 3rd (who ever appoints a new Hokage) I would laugh at him and strip him of his Jounin title. Someone like that who couldn't handle three kids wants to rule a village seems a bit like a joke tbh.

Also I see a pattern here Kakashi had just as bad students and he was going to be made Hokage, oh and Jiraiya was appointed for Hokage even though he trained someone who would destroy the Leaf.

This sounds like more of a hate towards the character in general and not based on his actual feats in the manga.

You really want to compare Tsunade feats vs Minato's? Tsunade healed the entire village before and after Pain's Chou Shinra Tensei(an attack that devastated the village entirely), Fought Orochimaru and with her on Konohas command formed an alliance with the other villages to fight the ultimate war, that started because of one Minato's disciple that he abandoned with a 13 years old jounin in a dangerous mission.

Tsunade also took on against the most powerfull ninja of all time(Edo Madara) with Hashiramas powers and Rin'negan abbilities, plus Edo condition. She is now, despite being rip in half, decided to save the other Kages. While Minatos only moment was sealing the Kyubi based on a prophesy Jiraiya(the credit is his) told him and being able to hit his 14 years old student with his s/t jutsu.

As a teacher he trained Sakura probably the best Medical ninja of this generation, she also healed Kakashi, Lee and Sasuke and many others.

He didint abandoned his disciples he instead went headon attack to take the fire away from them, and thats not abondening. Its war shit happens peeps die.

okay...i will try to beat the flamers.....

Kakashi was arrogant and ignorant, BUT WAS A SUPERB young ninja, and was very loyal to konoha, but was more of a lone wolf.....he was a great kid until his dad died, and after obito gave him the quote "those who break the rules are trash, but those who dont save their friends are worse than trash"

Obito was more or less mid k11 level(as they are currently) before his sharingan, and was a very kind kid whohelped old people all the time(obitos becomeing "evil" had nothing to do with minato....it had to do with madara

Rin was a nice girl who was a great medic, and cared deeply for both of her teammates....she just happened to "love" kakashi....


Minato had one of the most successful teams out there.....it was a war....people get killed......not even mentioning how minato has many skills we havent seen, or how he took out a entire platoon by himself with no signifigant signs of being tired(as he showed up to save kakashi and rin after killing the platoon)


So explain to me how minato taught obito to be evil, kakashi to be stuck up, and rin to be one of the nicest ninjas we have seen?
Or how jiraya taught his students to destroy, or kakashi taught his students bad lessons.....

Minato became Hokage because he had a strong will of fire, was highly skilled, and did teach a successful team.....blameing his students bad qualities on him is childish. He was a sensei, not a parent.

Well, Kakashi and Rin weren't bad. You don't see them joining the Akatsuki or suddenly trying to take over the world. Sure they may have not been the best of students but they never gave up. They always tried their best. Same goes for Team 7. Kages are chosen because of their ability to MOVE ON and keep going NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. Even if one or more of their students/friends have "fallen" :y

Well then you could say the same thing about Jiraiya-->konan, yahiko, nagato and Hiruzen--> Orochimaro and Danzo-->Kabuto and so on. That's stupid. A teacher can't force you to decisions, only show the right path.

So you blamed your teacher whenever you made a mistake?
Grow up. Take some responsibility for your own actions.

Hes the reason Konoha won the 3rd War. ^_^. Him and Tsunade are "war proven" Kages. Meaning they proved themselves in the wars.

minato became hokage because he is a boss

who cares about his students????????? students make their own decisions...minato was a TEACHER not a BABYSITTER

alot of good sensais taught their students properly but still their students went down the wrong path

hiruzen - oro
oonoki - deidara
jiriaya - nagato/konan
kakashi - sasuke
