The Minato hate^ and the third picked Minato because he was a better shinobi.

Re: Who do you think would make the best Hokage?
Donzo would have been because he is not soft the 3rd and he would have bought up better ninja the ninja that came up during the 3rds rain are really soft but its a few who's nit but most of them are and no other village would **** with the leaf because everone knows how dirty donzo is
Itachi...imo he was the best candidate. He was already thinking at Hokage level at the age of seven. I believe he should have been chosen even over Minato, and Oro. Just my opinion no more, no less. I just feel he'd have made an uncannily exceptional Hokage.
What?! lmao are you talking about? the fourth was hokage for like maybe 1-3 years, and then Naurto was born and Fyi it was obito who attacked the village the night Minato died and Naruto was born. he was already in his late teens, or a very young man. So Itachi was like idk 7-13, very much alive.At that time, Itachi probably wasn't even born around the time the fourth was chosen. In fact, I know he wasn't. Minato was the fourth Hokage during the time Obito was 13.
But yes, Itachi would've been my choice for sixth Hokage.
