Why was Fugaku the Uchiha Leader?

[TenthHokagexRamen]

who knows. Guy was a fodder, shushi or itachi should have been leader since they had the MS.

Clan leaders are not chosen by power, they are born into the position. Oldest child of the clan leader becomes the next clan leader. Hinata would have become head of the Hyuuga had Hiashi not basically disowned her.

How can you call him a fodder when we've seen nothing? We can tell he was powerful just by the high expectations he had for his sons.

He wasn't made leader because of his power. It was because of his lineage.
