I love how people are saying "Where is Itachi?" all over the place, and saying he has done the most for the Leaf. SERIOUSLY how fanboyish can you people be???
EVERYTHING that Itachi did is due to...DANZO. Danzo made the order, and from the shadows controlled what Itachi did. So basically, all of you who are voting for Itachi are in fact voting for Danzo. But you're just not smart enough to understand, and instead you insult the OP for being perfectly right in leaving Itachi out.
I choose Sarutobi H. Cos he single handedly stop Orochimaru from crushing the Leaf.
There are others that have done much, but they didn't do up to Hiruzen and I'll give my reasons.
1. Minato stopped Tobi and the nine tails, but if he wasn't there, Hiruzen could also use the reaper death seal.
2. Naruto didn't save the village from Pein, he actually saved himself. Pein wasn't after destruction of the village, if he knew Naruto's location, he wouldn't even bother coming to the village.
3. Itachi was just a tool used by the elders to maintain peace. It was their plan and decision. Furthermore, Sasuke knew that Itachi couldn't have wiped out the entire police force singlehandedly, that's why he asked Itachi about who helped him. [Itachi's response was "Madara"].
In conclusion, Hiruzen trained the ones who later became the three legendary Sannin. The 4th and 5th are his direct or indirect product.
If he didn't stop Orochimaru + 1st + 2nd edo hokages, no one in Konoha could, hence, the village would have ceased to exist.
This is just my own opinion.
"minato died at an early age so he didnt do much for the leaf"?! try to remember how and why he died. he died protecting konoha from the kyuubi and thats not "much"?! i honestly think that without minato the leaf would have been completely destroyed back then
um orochimaru u mad he actulay did help danzo but hes is still a bad guy

He did what was right to him.. and to Danzo.. They did it in the name of Konoha. But he also killed the people of Konoha (Uchiha).
Im not gonna make a guy on the list, who killed people without even knowing how things would have turned up..What itachi did now is heroic before it was pure innocence and stupidity.
yep yep, said that perfectly, i say danzo
Itachi??
