Gaara is the youngest Kage but the 4th was the youngest in konoho out of all the hokage i dunt think he was hokage at 20ish but maybe around 18

No, Minato was in his twenties. It is implied in chapter 450 that Minato was younger than Kakashi (now in the present, thirty years old) when selected for the title of Fourth Hokage. And if you look at the time when Tobirama chose Hiruzen Sarutobi to succeed him as Third Hokage, you see he was actually the one that was around eighteen. Hiruzen was already Hokage of Konoha when becoming the teacher of Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, while Minato was the teacher of Kakashi, Obito, and Rin before he became Hokage. Thus Minato only became Hokage after the Third Shinobi War ended, meaning that significant time passed and in his twenties, was when he became the Fourth. But at eighteen Minato becoming Hokage, there I must disagree with you.

Ok well not 18 but was the youngest hokage in chapter 450 they nominated kakashi (him being 30) and stated 4th was younger no where there was the 3rd mention on his young age and if he was youngest they wouldve said that the 4th and 3rd were younger so how do u know that the third wasnt 30+ before he became hokage? i mean yee he looked young on the flashback wit the 2nd hokage but that doesnt say much in the manga it is implied as the 4th being the youngest hokage unless kishi made a error but no where is it mention on how old the 3rd was so i disagree wit 3rd being the youngest

Well, you can't use the fact that the Council never mentioned Sarutobi becoming the Third at a young age as way of stating Minato became the youngest Hokage. Perhaps they forgot to mention him or chose not to? Besides, they mentioned Minato because of the fact that Kakashi, the most worthy candidate after Danzo's death, was a student of Minato, who was a student of Jiraiya, who was a student of Hiruzen. They wanted to note the connection, and that's why they mentioned Minato and his age to sway all the other members into choosing Kakashi.

Also, Hiruzen looks nowhere near the age of thirty during Danzo's flashback. I know you're speaking hypothetically, but try not to exaggerate things too much. Anyways, we do know that Minato became the Fourth in his twenties, but we don't know when Hiruzen became the Third - in my opinion, he was the youngest to become Kage, but then again I might not be right. It's difficult to say, but I hold in saying that Hiruzen was the youngest to become Hokage. Let's see who'll be proven right as the manga continues.

I think he is the youngest Kage. And, to be honest, probably the weakest.

Yes, Tsunade could beat him. Remember, she is one of the Sannin. Why it may be just a title, it speaks for itself. Her strength is more than enough to **** up Gaara's shield of sand and sand armor.

On top of that, Gaara being Kazekage isn't quite as impressive as Naruto becoming Hokage. Unfortunately, Sunagakure doesn't have too many impressive ninja as only Baki, Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari stand out. Baki's only shown skills typical of an average Jonin.

Konoha, on the other hand has Kakashi, Tsunade, had Jiraiya during the actual manga timeline, Danzo, Neji, Hinata, Gai, Asuma, Kurenai, Sasuke (until his obvious defection, at which point even before, he stood out), Hiashi Hyuuga (or Hizashi, can't remember which), the Hyuuga clan in general, and even little Konohamaru.

...

Can't believe you put Konohamaru in that list. Anyways, the only reason it appears that the leaf has WAY better overall ninja is because the series is based on that village. If the other villages had any actual green time you'd see that they were alot of ninjas on par with kakashi, Tsunade, Jiraiya, etc. Oh yeah, and just incase you haven't noticed, there may be other kekkei genkai clans that we haven't seen yet. ..... And h

Gaara is the Youngest kage but at least he isnt the weakest....im almost positive
that he could beat Tsunade....Gaara is pretty damn powerful xd
??
I agree he's the youngest. :) Weakest? uha, that's questionable dude. :p
How sure you are that he could beat the crap out of Tsunade. :O Well, we've seen it and it has been justified in the manga that she's indeed the best medical ninja alive, but we have yet to see her combat skills. :D and i'm also positive that she could put up a fight with any other S-Rank shinobi out there. :) yay.

Many in the sand village would when Gaara was revived from the dead all the women their were fighting over who would protect Him. They were saying He was a good looking Man. So He has Ladies chasing Him.

Tsunade is no push over...but when it comes to combat all she has is brute
strength...but when your fighting Gaara you need speed...but with her, she
could probably punch through his ultimate defense

Sad that shukaku is removed out of Gaara, it could come quite handy if he could controll it properly

Yuh, but this statement would make much more sense if it goes like this... :D

Tsunade is not a pushover, but when it comes to her combat skills, the only skills that have been shown are her brute strength & offensive medical jutsus. When it comes to Gaara being your opponent, speed is only one of the many factors you need in order to win, but with her brute strength she could prolly break gaara's ultimate defense because it was shown that brute strength can get through gaara's sand when he fought Kimmimaro. :) There you Go. ;)

Well I believe Gaara is strong at his age, all he needs is experience. ;) he still has time to make himself stronger and learn more jutsu whereas Tsunade has been into wars and is a very experienced shinobi already. ;))

gaara is the youngest known kage to date(no clue how old yagura was but I'm sure gaara was younger because tho he looks young he looks to be older then naruto gaara and the shinobi in their age group)and it has been stated(my apologies I'm too lazy at the moment to find where nor do I want to)that minato was the youngest hokage

And h

Konohamaru. Rasengan. Fourth's technique. HIS AGE. Beat a Pain body in a fight. Didn't kill him, but incapacitated him temporarily, which, in Naruto can constitute a win because all you'd have to do is take out his rods while he's out cold.

I didn't say no other village had great ninja, Kumogakure seems to have great ninja. Sunagakure just seems to have weak ninja. Trust me, I'm not being biased. I'm Arab. I'd WANT Sunagakure to have the strongest ninja. Gaara is a great ninja for his age, but he's not Kakashi level, much less Tsunade.

Ok will by now why would'nt have mentioned that the third was the youngest hokage? they could've said something when he battled Oro or when danzo started showing up? but no he's dead and gone and wasnt young when he got hokage seat. u look at itachi age that guy looks like hes 18 or something but he's really 25+ yrs old. in naruto all characters look young even kakashi does'nt look 30. the fact is by now they would have mention 3rd being the youngest hokage but he was'nt the youngest lets not forget when he step out of the hokage seat he was 50 something and then he was 68 when he died seeing this flashback jus didnt resemble him much because he was younger thats why everyone thinks he was so young becoming hokage but compared to being 30 something to 50 is a big difference. so i can gurantee u on this fact that the 3rd was not the youngest and i could be proven wrong but i am pretty sure of it
