To be fair to Tsunade, Kishimoto intended for her to defeat Pain but the editors of SJ said that Naruto should be the one to beat him.

where is it said that his editor wanted naruto to do it?

He actually told it in the same interview where he said it was going to be Kakashi's year if I remember correctly.

Also, of course Tsunade wasn't the first choice. She was retired, she never was an option before Jiraiya said he can make her come back to the village.
Also Hiruzen is clearly the weakest hokage. Minato belongs in the same skill level with Tsunade. :|

This isn't the fanfic section.

Tsunade is fodder.

@On-Topic. Tsunade is fodder.

It would've been interesting if Jiraiya became Hokage, spying on the Konoha ladies taking a bath leaving the paperwork to his secretary. Kakashi sneaking on the Hokage Office to take a peek on the work-in-progress sequel of his book.

Seriously, where are people getting this information from? I have found no proof of this.

^ This.

This is the first time I've heard about something like this. But it never happened in canon so it's meaningless anyway.

I agree that Tsunade was the last option since the Leaf was desperate for a Hokage and the two candidates at the time did'nt want the position.IMO she is the weakest of all the Hokage and is not equiped to combat threats to the village like Pain.

Minato, Tobirama and Hiruzen would all have been annihilated by Pain. xD
And Hiruzen is weaker in combat than Tsunade. Minato majorly lacks firepower for a kage.

@bold: Really? :Omg: I only heard the part where Kishi intended for her to fight him, i didn't know about defeating her defeating Pain. Those mother****** :devil:

OT: That's partially correct. Jiraiya would be Hokage he wanted to, but she fits the spot quite well.
And never compare anyone to Hashirama... He's the closest thing next to the So6P alongside Madara.
You mentioned Hiruzen and said she's out of his league. Ok, imagine he was in her spot during Pain's invasion? How is he supposed to do something for his village? Shove his Enma pole up Deva's ass? She actually did something during the invasion by protecting the villagers and shinobi.
Besides, any kage doesn't have to do all by himself, every village has jonin, chunin, etc... A kage alone doesn't keep the village going on.

And wasn't Naruto supposed to be the one to shine? >.>

It was Kishimoto's intention to let her have the blows on pain.

Actually it was Kishi's intetion to let Hinata kill pain and save the NV, the interview of him saying this was lost and never again found....

Minato defended the village from the Kyuubi and MS Obito, and saved it with a minuscule amount of damage.

Tsunade just healed the wounded while the village got decimated. Didn't even try to fight.
