The Second Hokage is a Hypocrite

[SkyGodHorus]

What? I don't get it.

how is a hypocrite i don't get it ?

What ? I dont get it

He means Tobirama appointed Hiruzen as Hokage rather than letting the people decide.

Believe it or not, I see your point. However, Tobirama was dead the next day and as you said, the people probably still voted. By the looks of it, he was more or less estimating that Hiruzen would be voted in. There is either that, or the leaf being at war meant the people not having the time to vote and the village requiring a leader immediately, and Tobirama saw Hiruzen as being the most qualified. Basically like the vice president taking over for the president if he is killed and then the secretaries and so on and so forth.

Well, in this case he's still not a hypocrite. Hiruzen didn't take the hokage seat right away as a 13 year old. Tobirama did say that he would become the hokage, but Hiruzen wasn't the hokage from that second. When Tobirama said that, it pretty much made Hiruzen the prime candidate, but if others disagreed, he still wouldn't become hokage. The lords and everyone else would have to agree upon it to.

He was Hokage the next day... And he wasn't 13. He's around Naruto and sasukes age.

I agree with this.
But @bold, the people probably still did vote. Just because a hokage recommends someone else doesn't mean that they automatically become hokage. That's why when Hashirama stated that he wanted Madara to become hokage, Tobirama retorted that he wouldn't be chosen anyway, considering that no one in his clan or the village would support him. The village supported Hiruzen and saw that he was a fit choice at the time, hence why he became hokage.

 

[Dantе]

tobirama is wise man
he already knew who would village choose as leader like he knew when hashi became one

 

[ᖇ α z m α η]

I see your point but Tobirama seems to be a realistic person, he foresaw what would happen if power hungry Madara becomes Hokage (would have been catastrophic).

Okay. But people obviously agreed with the choice and accepted it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have allowed it. In Hashirama's case, it's different considering that he was attempting to make Madara hokage, someone who most did not trust.

And about the age, yes you're right. I don't know why I said he was 13. xD

 

[Zen Uchiha]

He told Hashirama not to decide and pick the Hokage on his own.

Then he decides and picks Hiruzen as the Hokage on his own.

oh lol now i get it thanks

I don't think he's a hypocrite. He just contradicted himself.

However, there is one hypocrite and she is Sakura. She treats Naruto like crap then suddenly supports him or even faked her love confession. Now I see why everyone hates Sakura.

 

[HiddenSound]

No one with dat fur can be a hypocrite.

 

[Penguin]

There was also, most likely, a wartime rule that the Hokage could appoint a Hokage in case of death just until the council re-elects.

 

[Tobby17]

lol. next time he'll take a quick trip to Konoha, organize an election and then come back to sacrifice his life...

 

[JIRAIYA perv]

what if he knew that the people liked Hiruzen/thought he's worthy and based that statement on that/considered it ?? hmm

That's going off-topic, Sakura isn't even a part of this thread and that was a lame attempt to bash a character.
She's been Naruto's friend since ch3, it isn't sudden for her to be supporting him, it's happened throughout the manga and she's just a tsundedae. Obviously not everyone hates her, considering that in the overall popularity polls by Shonen Jump, she beats all the other females.

He said Hashirama can't do it, he didn't said anything about himself

 

[BlacLord™]

Oh. Hashirama wasn't about to die though. Completely different circumstances.

This.

It wasn't as if he could just pop back to the village and leave his students alone for a day or so.

The derp is over 9000!

not gonna front but yeah Sakura has nothing to do with this thread I guess it was unnecessary. My bad

Tobirama was afraid that Hiruzen might neutralize him, fear does stuff to people.

OT: I think he was just in his decision.
