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).
lmao! see its ppl like you that make the "great minato" seem stupid powerful.lol im about to put you and every minato fan in there place!

kushina all by her self held the fox down, if not for her the forth wouldnt even been able to use the reaper seal on the fox while it is moving/fighting back. so with out kushina the forth wouldnt have sealed the fox period!if anything kushina could of sealed the fox by her self, but minato didnt want her to.. all facts
the 4th didnt end any war, didnt defeat anybody major but a weak tobi/madara "a shell of his former self"and just because he is fast doesnt mean anything. his best ftg lv 2 rasengan didnt even keep tobi down and that was at point blank range and full eft! he doesnt have the sharingan so even iff he's fast he cant predict movents to save him self. and his skin is just as frail as any other person so if he gets hit with one good one hes out (or breath hanzous poison). stop making him seem godly because of speed, minato has alot going for him and speed isnt the sure thing everytime..
1st:
1.fought madara uchia in countless battles (all uchias for that matter)
2. defeated eternal mangekyo madara at 1000% with the fox (dont care if he took the fox, madara had it first)
