So we know Sakumo was stronger than all of the Sanin during his time and so right. But even than Hiruzen considered Jiraiya/Orochimaru to be the person he would pass on the Hokageship to.

I wonder why not Sakumo? If someone is stronger than the Sanin.. i'm sure you should go with that person. I believe there was some Teacher-student bias going on. X_X


But anywho, Should Sakumo (If he had lived) been Hokage over Minato?

Nope. He could not deal so he killed himself.

Well, he was dead so... and I don't know, he was older then Minato, but was he a better shinobi? All we know is that he used the White Light Chakra Sabre.

Nobody remembers Sakumo :'( , I know he was heavily respected but I don't think he is Sannin level in terms of power.

He was regarded as scum for putting the life of his allies over the completion of the mission. As aforementioned, "he couldn't deal so he killed himself". He would've been a good Hokage, but what the plot wants, the plot gets.

Sakumo's skills started to deteriorate after he got shamed, didn't they?

Who's sakumo again?

kakashi's dad. the white fang

i think that would be great. but the way he got away of the dishonoured reactions from konoha and his deep depression by committing suicide? i dont think its wise..

In the actual translation he "overshadowed" the Sanin.

Also, what was he suppose to deal with? The very people he saved called him a scum...... Minato and Hiruzen never went through that.

he wasnt stronger than the sanin he was more famous than the sanin

^^^in the actual translation he is put on an above level. Mangapanda puts them on the same level.
