Hiruzen's a damn failure to be honest. I love his character and what he's about, but the fella is a failure nonetheless.

-Let Orochimaru go just to have him launch a full-scale assault on the village.
-He was in charge during the Uchiha debacle
-He never really cared for Sasuke or Naruto to my knowledge
-It seems the Uzumaki devastation (even though it wasn't his fault) happened while he was in charge as well. Keep in mind the Uzumakis were the village's biggest allies.

From an administrative standpoint, Hiruzen's reign was a shitty one.

this, and also hiruzen knew danzo's control over root was corrupt and was causing most of the problems with the uchiha, yet he never did anything about him. also, he let orochimaru go, who later killed him.

Hm, let's see.

Worst to best:
1. Tobirama
2. Hashirama
3. Hiruzen
4. Minato
5. Tsunade

Tobirama made the worst mistakes, and they're pretty big:
1. Edo tensei
2. Segregated the Uchiha even though he knows their hatred can cause them to get angry. (Should've just left them as all the other ninja, just ninja).

But he also was doing the best for Konoha. From one to ten, he's a 3/10.

Hashirama:
1. He left Madara alive. He tried to fix it later, but he didn't.
2. He also gave power hungry villages biju that screwed up his own village.

He tried to make up for leaving Madara alive by killing at the Vote.
He tried to make the biju peace offerings. He failed though.
But he also united the uchiha clan and senju clan, among other clans, formed Konoha, and protected it the best he could.
6/10 for a leader.

Hiruzen made the most mistakes:
1. Oro
2. Danzo
3. Didn't fix the segreated Uchiha clan.
4. Uchiha clan massacre

But he tried I guess. He also had the longest reign as Hokage, so we have to take that into account as well. He's still only a 5/10 though.

4. Minato:
The only thing he did wrong was sealing the Kyuubi into his own son. But he did it for the village's sake. I mean fighting Obito+Kurama is pretty difficult afterall.
7/10.

5. Tsunade:
Despite being the weakest Hokage, she is in fact the best Hokage. The only thing she did wrong was training Sakura. She almost did wrong about Nawaki and Dan though.

She saved many people against pein, she healed Kakashi and Sasuke from their comas, Lee was saved, she trusted Naruto into bringing Sasuke back, she unlike Hiruzen actually tried to kill Orochimaru, and was overall a great Hokage.
8/10 for her

Hiruzen by far he put Danzo in charge of the "darkness" of the village. With giving him the authority the total destruction of the leaf would have been prevented, Danzo was the one who came up with the idea of killing the uchiha, and pinning it on the uchiha without any investigations. Hiruzen also let Orochimaru go and turned his back when he found out at first orochimaru was experimenting which led to the destruction of the leaf (part 1). Tobirama made one mistake and that was the treatment of the uchihas. but that was necessary.

Everything went wrong when that "eunuch" of a ninja like Hiruzen took over. He let someone as scum as Danzo be in charge of root, and that's a naive thing to do.

Hashirama should have curb stomped Madara to death but I think it would be good if the story remained the same.
