Just look at Hiruzen. Dando decided to do what he wanted to do and Hiruzen was powerless. In this case, Naruto obeyed, therefore everything was fine. It is not every time.
He handled Sage Mode in his loving body. Given more practice and Hashirama cells (coz they are distributed like freebies in NV), he may have been able to handle it
He admitted sage mode didn't really fit his style cause of prep time, think about it, he can do ftg instantly and his rasengan needs no seals so it's as instant as the user can do it( although this is a bit contradictory as one would think he could use sage mode pre attack and use ftg in conjunction with sm to sense any harmful intent(like naruto) but this is just saying, as I think he should of never had sage mode to begin with
All those are some instances of his human side. Can't be compared to Itachi or Minato's compassion. Not even in the same league. Dude chapters before that he was prnentrating Sakura in genjustsu and some time before that he said Kakashi and Sakura were irrelevant. He didn't care fir most part, they could have died for all he cared.

Danzo did what he did in the shadows. Its not like Hiruzen knew all of it. He wasn't "powerless" to stop it, he is easily the most powerful political figure in this massive military force in Konoha, even if he went easy on it. If he knew all Danzo did throughout his reign as Hokage, he wouldn't have stood for it
I did and thus I gave you an example after his clan had been exterminated and after he knew the whole truth. He still those things. His mind was only focused on what he wanted and not anything else.

Regardless he was powerless enough. Dando didn't have the fear that, " What will happen when Hiruzen finds out?" What sort of power dynamics do you see there ? Weak leaders are not good until you have strong followers. Of strong followers suddenly flip, then as a leader you are good for nothing.

His Sage Mode wasn't perfect, he said so himself he couldn't use it in battle, he didn't even use it against Obito. What's worse is the toads never mentioned him when Naruto achieved a higher level of SM than Jiraiya which suggest it was also an asspull power up made by Kishi.
Finally, using Sage Mode is nowhere near the same as containing the most powerful bijuu, Kurama's chakra volume is thousands of times more than what Minato can produce with NE.
Furthermore, Kushina said the Jinchuuriki for the 9tails were chosen for their special chakra, as a non-Uzumaki Minato doesn't meet the requirements to be he 9 tails host.
He was physically overwhelmed from having a bijuu inside him, there's no way he would be able to use KCM with a living body.
Agreed, not only an ass pull power up, but literally nothing was done in kcm by him that couldn't probably be done in his base other than give naruto his half of kurama. Even when he tried to senjutsu up he didn't actually hit jj obito using it(iirc) his kcm was literally a plot device for naruto
True, Kishi made it look like Naruto's talent with biju chakra came from Minato when in reality it came from Kushina. It would've been more believable if she was able to use KCM instead of him.
I wanted him to use more original techs like FTG and sealing jutsu or some of Jiraiya's abilities, the DBZ style look didn't suit him at all.
Underrated...I don't think you know what this word means.
About 22,000,000 results when typed into Google. Naruto Uzumaki himself only gets 7,890,000. And considering the wank nature of fandom, something popular on the internet will always be grossly overrated, overexposed and exaggerated in strength/worth.
Regardless he was powerless enough. Dando didn't have the fear that, " What will happen when Hiruzen finds out?" What sort of power dynamics do you see there ? Weak leaders are not good until you have strong followers. Of strong followers suddenly flip, then as a leader you are good for nothing.
And yet he carried on doing his wrongdoings past Hiruzen's reign, over to Minato's, back to Hiruzen's, through most of Tsunade's and was only stopped because he was killed by Sasuke.
Minato started being overrated when Kishi decided to give him Naruto's feats. Besides FTG he had no originality and came nowhere near Prime Hiruzen's level.
OT: I used to think he was super OP after seeing him fight off obito and Kurama. I think once the power levels rose up as quick as they did, his feats/hype became moot. Then there's the whole JJ Madara solo sesh.
