I don't remember Orochimaru being a Hokage prospect. I believe Orochimaru's geniusnees was enough for him to be a Hokage by Sarutobi, but it was his evilness and greed or something like that, that led Saru to chose another candidate, and that was Jiraya.

To be honest, had Oro not been evil, he would have actually been quite a hokage. In terms of intellegence and being able to sway people to join his side, even though they knew his evilness, they still somehow believed all the way. Who knows, maybe this newly turned Oro might be the next Hokage. XD

Anyways, the sannin weren't obviously as powerful in the past, as they were presently in the show. We don't know about what Sakumu did, but he was known and feared as the white fang, so that has to be something, lol Though, I wonder what feiled of shinobi made Sakumo that famous. Can he just be a more powerful version of Kakashi without the Sharingan? Or is some specific amazing jutsu that only he knew?
