well that was a long time back na when kishi gave the interview na...things have changed..back then 1st and 2nd looked really weak..now its different..but ofcourse its kishi we talking about....
4th on top..not a surpirse![]()
I think Shodaime. He ended a war, formed his own village, had a Kekkei Genkai and beat Madara.
First ended a war? Fourth was so awesome, the enemy (no matter how powerful) were told to flee on sight of him (no matter what!). And I'm pretty sure he was the main reason that one war ended.me also going with firsthe kicked madaras ass..madara now might be stronger..but madara is madara na

I'm sorry to point this out my friend. the first did end a war in the sense that when the senju and the uchiha made a truce and formed a village, this started a chain reaction with all the other clans which eventually made the one country one village system.First ended a war? Fourth was so awesome, the enemy (no matter how powerful) were told to flee on sight of him (no matter what!). And I'm pretty sure he was the main reason that one war ended.
The first formed the village? The fourth stopped the Kyuubi's chakra blast from destroying the village (which is more than Tsunade did; she may have saved the village, but the Fourth stopped the threat before it destroyed the village). The fourth also created the Rasengan, Flying Thunder God, the Dead Demon Reaper seal, and he was jsut awesome.
First had a Kekkei Genkai? Fourth had Flying Thunder God, and 'Flee-on-sight' orders (wood-style doesn't match up to that).
First kicked Madara's ass? So did the Fourth, except he did it when Madara was older, meaning he had more experience, more knowledge and battle tactics, and when Madara had the First's DNA (he also beat the crap out of Madara while protecting the village from the fox, and keeping his wife and son generally safe; the first just fought with no restrictions).
Minato Namikaze was the best Hokage ever (and the third was stated to be the best in his prime, but A) Minato never made it to his prime, and B) The third used the fourth's jutsu to beat the first, second, and oro, which means that it was the fourth's jutsu and battle tactics that won, so it was pretty much the fourth who beat them).
it wasn't 1000 jutsu, it was every single jutsu in the hidden leaf village he knew and could use them all.4th as someone already pointed out hiruzen's 1000 jutsu, hashiramas wood and tobiramas water dont match up against FTG
all hokage seem to stand out a bit from other kage though
wheres the proof he only learned all the jutsu when he was old? oro said "hahahaha... you, who were called the professor for knowing and being able to use all the jutsu that exist in the leaf... please don't disappoint me too much" (right before sarutobi blows the hokage's legs off) and oro had been a missing nin for around 12 years at that point so he would had to have that title while he was still reigning hokage first time around and not super old.The third? yea he was great but all of you saying The Third in his prime... do you know what he was capable of back then? NO you are just assuming... with age comes experience and that's why he was the master of all jutsu and had plenty of battle experience, because he was OLD.... so we should be talking about the Hiruzen we know, not the one we all assume to be the best, the greatest ... etc. in his prime.
.
O_O TOOo LONG!!! DlD NOT READ!!!!!!!!!!Ok first of all we can't actually decide... why? we don't know enough... we haven't actually seen them fight except for old Hiruzen and Minato a little.
All of you going : "The first beat Madara had that and did that, he was known for that..." yea but have you ever seen any of this? NO they are all STORIES... and we have seen that we can't take everything characters in the manga say for real. If he was so strong why is Madara still alive?
About the second we know even less... only that he created edo tensei, was the best water jutsu user and had space time jutsu... this sohuld make him the strongest however he isn't mostly because you fangurls haven't heard anyone talking about him that much, or fear him, or mentioning him doing something awsome.
The third? yea he was great but all of you saying The Third in his prime... do you know what he was capable of back then? NO you are just assuming... with age comes experience and that's why he was the master of all jutsu and had plenty of battle experience, because he was OLD.... so we should be talking about the Hiruzen we know, not the one we all assume to be the best, the greatest ... etc. in his prime.
The fourth... yea he couldn't kill Madara... but take into account that he was fighting a "perfect Madara" with the First Hokage cells. He lost and arm, got punched with a rasengan and yet he doesn't even have a scratch... I agree that he was not at the same strength as he was when he fought The First however we don't know what powers he had back then.... maybe he didn't have his space/time jutsu, or his phasing abilities... how can you prove that he had any of that back then? you CAN'T
Tsunade yea she is weak in combat, but she can do what no ninja was capable of doing so far, protecting the entire village, and saving people's lives in front of an enemy that no one could have stopped. (if you can prove that any Kage could have stopped Shinra Tensei then i agree with you and +rep xd and don't take me with "if Minato,The First, The third was there he wouldn't have had time to do it... " yea he would, he could have done it before anyone had even realized.) So she is not that weak as some of you think.
And Danzou... can't tell that much... i don't know how good he could handle against more enemies at once... i mean he lost to Sasuke who was just getting used to his MS jutsu. He was strong, but i doubt he was up there with the other Heroes...
So in My opinion... taking into account WHAT we do know FOR SURE i would say Minato is the greatest and strongest... even Kishi said that The Fourth and The Third are the strongest Hokage ever. So because of old age i choose Minato.
he didn't beat madara, madara let him win so that he can be stronger in the future, and if it wasn't for madara he wouldn't have made the village. i say the yellow flash.I think Shodaime. He ended a war, formed his own village, had a Kekkei Genkai and beat Madara.
