The fourth hokage didn't have to sacrifice himself to save the village from the Kyuubi - He Chose to.*Why do people say.... the Fourth Hokage is the strongest of the 5 when he had to Sacrifice himself to save the village from the nine-tailes when the 1st could control it...but people say the 4th was the strongest??!!
i got him third if that.
1. 1st Hokage
2. 3rd Hokage
3-4. 2nd and 4th Hokage
5. 5th Hokage
*Why do all the Uchiha fanboys got madara, itachi and sasuke 1, 2, and 3!
I have come to the conclusion that the Uchihia fans are trapped in genjutsu lol. it doesnt matter if sasuke lost one arm and an eye you would still rate him an elite or no matter how many facts you lay out you would still say itachi could beat pain.
*Why are some characters still over hyped!
Kisame(overrated
Hanzo(overhyped
Danzo(overrated
Sasuke(overhyped
4th Hokage(overrated
the akatsuki(overhyped
Why is.....
Kakashi
Choji
Konohamaru
kankuro
so underrated!
Why hasnt ALMIGHTY sasuke won an legitimate fight...i was about to give him the Danzo fight but even at the end when he was completely out of chakra and Danzo still had a little left to finish him off.. he had to depend on
karin to get most if not all of his chakra back.
Why after all these chapters they had to show Neji as an bad guy!!
Why people! Why!!! somebody explain!!!!
Hashirama was able to control Kyuubi due to his KG and then Mito sealed it inside her to help him.
Minato broke control of Madara over Kyuubi and hit him with Rasengan , Put a seal on him in one move. He then teleported Kyuubi with his beast bomb away from the village. Kushina was there to seal the Kyuubi and die with it(she was already weak due to extraction of Kyuubi and baby birth).
Minato sacrificed himself because he knew Madara would be back. So he wanted Konoha to have Kyuubi's power to deal with him. So he used a complicated seal to make his own son the jinchuriki and seal half of it in death reaper's belly because it was too much.
He was young, talented and selfless. He used his brains in extreme crisis situation and came up with so many complicated seals and plans. Got compliented by Madara. Seeing that he came up with original techs and seals like Rasengan which was used by Jiraiya, Kakashi used it to develope chidori and Naruto .. I won't say he is overrated.
Sarutobi was great in his own might.
Basically, it's just a matter of opinion and personal choice. Everybody has it just like you have one. Whatever floats your boat...
