The first four will be releases, they haven't actually been given life. Also, the series is ending soon, and Naruto's goal since the beginning was to be Hokage. So people are wondering if he'll make it. Personally, I think, even without the Sharingan, Kakashi is better for the position than Tsunade. He has almost unmatched Ninjutsu, excellent taijutsu (Better than part 1 Lee and he's beaten Gai before), and thorough knowledge of genjutsu. He's mastered over a thousand techniques from all the nations. But The most valuable asset is his mind. He's virtually unmatched in battle strategy and tactics, not to mention field experience. The only one right now who I think could react as intelligently and as fast on the battlefield as Kakashi is Shikamaru (who I'm pretty sure is smarter at this point). But Shikamaru isn't as battle capable. Kakashi might not have much raw power, but he knows exactly how to use it. For example: When they first went to Kaguya's lava dimension, Sasuke only had time to save himself and Naruto. Kakashi, in the midst of falling, thought through all his options, and saved himself and two others. No one can say that isn't fast, I mean he pulled a kunai out, tied a scroll around it, threw the kunai to the ceiling, caught Sakura, and threw a kunai at Obito to pin him to the wall. Sasuke barely had time to summon a hawk to fly to Naruto. My point is...

Tsunade is a very powerful kunoichi. But I don't think she's the best leader for the village. Not by far.
