Hashirama and Tobirama were the ones that founded the village so they don't really count but:
-Hiruzen was taught by Hashirama and Tobirama and became known as 'the God of Shinobi'.
-Danzo was also taught by Tobirama and was recognized for being strong.
-Hiruzen was the sensei of the Sannin who all became renowned.
-Jiraiya may not have been a Hokage but was recoginized as Hokage material for being a member of the Sannin and produced a Hokage in Minato.
-Minato went on teach Kakashi who is now acknowledged as being Hokage material.
-Kakashi who is Hokage material, taught Naruto who is going to be Hokage after the war.
-And Naruto who is already Hokage material is now a mentor to Konohamaru.
It just seems as if the strength of a Hokage in the series is only determined by the strength of the Sensei. It's not all about what they can do it's about how they can teach what they can do and the concept just seems wrong to me. Why is it that every single one of the strongest shinobi in Konoha that have been introduced have been taught by a Hokage or someone of Hokage material? The only real exception is Gai.
