Personal Opinion

1) Tobirama - Tried to maintain peace with multiple clans at once and protected the village from Uchiha. Even when he knew the Uchiha was a threat, he gave them a role in the village. He also sacrificed his life and led to the survival of his team, entrusting the future to Hiruzen. Tobirama is easily the best Hokage.

2) Hiruzen - Even though he failed to protect the Uchiha, it wasn't his fault. It was the Uchiha's arrogance that forced Hiruzen to make Itachi do it. He fed and sheltered the main character for 14 whole years. He even chose wisely on who would take the title of Hokage. Obviously, he didn't choose Orochimaru because he is evil. He also successfully broke down Orochimaru mentally, rendering Orochimaru to forfeit and back off. Hiruzen eve admitted to try and copy Tobiramas but failed.

3) Hashirama - Because he was the first kage, he didn't know what to expect of this job. He lets his emotions and his boyfriend get in the way of the shinobi dream and realized the meaning of shinobi in the last second. Tobirama even said that Hashirama was a very naive Hokage. And though he did protect Konoha from Madara, Hashirama couldn't finish the job and now Madara is a threat to the entire world.

4) Minato - Not much leadership skills were shown, but he did successfully protect the village from Obito. But going by speculation, he wasn't hokage for very long, so he must have still been inexperienced. Though had great potential. Also, Minato even admitted himself that he was a bust of a Hokage and that Orochimaru could have been a better Hokage.

-----

5) Tsunade - Well not much to say about leadership skills, she doesn't even do anything. She let her long life friend get killed and had to be saved by Naruto twice. She is the only Hokage who couldn't save the village when it was in trouble. When Deva Path landed on the balcony of the Hokages office, all she did was talk despite knowing the fact that this is the same guy who killed Jiraiya. Not even a blitz.

Dont agree with Tobirama being the first since Hashirama basically did bring together those clans that Tobirama later had to deal with. The beginning of a country is always difficult and the alliance is so fragile so Hashirama deserves the #1 spot. Tobirama in the second spot. Hiruzen in the third spot above Minato since during the attack of the nine tails he was the one giving orders and directing attacks. Minato was just trying to solo as he always does in the battle. Tsunade comes out last. Well the order came out as their respective hokage titles lol I guess Kishi had it right.

Tobirama
Hashirama
Minato
Hiruzen
Tsunade

Since we are talking about being hokages I know hashirama let madara live but that was before being a hokage even before the leaf was founded. The reason hiruzen is where he is its because he let oro go while he was hokage and let danzo roam around the shadows.

Tobirama can't be number one.His actions lead to much of the violence and hatred towards the leaf.You could say the Uchiha Clan plan revolt was a direct result of his actions, which mirror many of the actions of Danzo.The Third Hokage has to be near the bottom because he let Orochimaru go, leading to the village nearly being destroyed and for not reeeling in Danzo.

Hashirama - Creating the village, protecting the village from Madara, creating the concept of the shinobi system.

Minato- His reign was short, but for all we know, it was a peaceful time in the leaf leading up to the Nine tails attack in which he successfully defeat obito and stopped the Nine Tails from destroying the village.Remove Minato from the picture and the Nine Tails destroy the leaf with a Tail Beast Bomb

Tsunade - Even if she couldn't defeat Pain, what Hokage not name Hashirama could?Even Sage Mode naruto needed, Talk No Jutsu and Plot no Jutsu.Tsunade saved most of the village with her Creation Rebirth jutsu.People also seem to forget she is heavily responsible for Naruto growth.Giving him freedom to leave the village, take on mission that where dangerous but also beneficial to his development.And she even asked the Raikage to assist Naruto in learning how to control the Nine Tails.Which naruto wouldn't have learn without Killer Bee's help.

Hiruzen and Tobirama in a coin flip for the last two spots.They both did great things, but did some extremely bad things as well.No other Hokages have such awful marks on their records as these two.

Tsunade isn't that bad of a Hokage. While she didn't directly fight pain, she did a lot more than just talk when the village was attacked. She exhausted all of her chakra trying to save as many of the villagers as possible, and as a result was in a coma for months afterwards. She nearly died protecting the village when pain attacked, saying she did nothing is just ignorance.
