Cause he was the leader of the root and the root did alot of work for the leaf and if Danzo was a kage he wont have time too work in the root and it would have been a great disadvantage for the leaf.
Then why was he made the 6th hokage?
Cause they had no choice left Tsunade was in koma jiriya was dead he was the last most elite ninja
I think it was because Jiraiya was the preferred 5th Hokage by the higher-ups but Jman said that he was not the hokage type and told the higher-ups that he knew of a person who was more cutout for the job and it was later revealed to be Tsunade.
Maybe the higher-ups and many Konoha shinibi believed that either Tsunade & Jiraiya were a better and stronger homage than Danzou.
Also as I recall from part one... Danzou was supposedly injured from his battle with Hiruzen for the title of Third Hokage. That's what we were told in Part 1.
The reason why he had all of the cast and wraps.
You've gotta be kidding me. Kakashi was around, he was the other choice. There's Guy and also the Hyuga head.
They were all too young as stated
Minato was even younger when he was made Hokage
Minato was even younger when he was made Hokage
konoha didnt have anyone else other then minato at the time the chose danzo over kakashi because he was a more experienced ninja
