now this has most likely been said before but i cant find is here at least but i was thinking today
had itachi not massacred the uchiha and the coup not happen might the elders have nominated and selected itachi to be the 5th hokage after all he was renowned in the entire village for his overall prowess as a ninja it would seem like a logical choice instead of having to go find tsunade when a more than suitable replacement was in the village all along
note im not an itachi fanboy but i do think he could have made a suitable hokage
