How come he entered the ANBU Black Ops, the best of the best, the elite of the elite, at the age of eleven? How come he had the wisdom of a Hokage at the age of seven? Sorry, but that argument is empty.

Jiraiya? He'd refuse the position. Danzo? Worst candidate for Hokage ever. I'd choose Orochimaru over him. Tsunade? Wasn't at the village, and still would've refused. Fugaku? Not only is he a bad choice for Hokage, but he also isn't Kage strong. Unsuitable. Kakashi? He wasn't at the level of becoming Hokage yet. So basically, Itachi is the best candidate, period.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Supreme Shinobi, The Professor, being under control of a genjutsu from a clan he's had decades of observing? Those who can testify to Hiruzen's prowess will deny the possibility of him being under any sort of genjutsu. Not only is it impossible to happen in the first place, but even if he got into a genjutsu, he'd still manage to break free from it.

The only way to stop the revolution from happening would be to either sate the Uchiha clan or eradicate them. Sating them would include making Itachi the Fifth Hokage. And the same can be said about Itachi, because even without his Mangekyo Sharingan, he's still a force to be reckoned with.

@X29 there are no contradiction in my reply. Itachi (before the coup) was just a prodigy nothing more...most of his fame came during and after the coup so don't try to change the chain of events around to prove your point. besides kakashi also entered anbu at very young age and became a captain too similarly yamato. Besides kakashi had his MS so definitely he was stronger feat as well as skill wise. clearly he had better chance of becoming hokage heritage wise too(since he was student of minato who was student to jiraiya who was student to hiruzen who was student to both tobirama and hashirama). you don't seem to get my point abt mentioning those people. the point is their were so many people who were much stronger and more experienced than itachi for being hokage.(since being a hokage in the village meant that ninja should be strongest and wisest too), heck even fugaku was stronger(than itachi) because of MS. besides itachi never killed his clan by himself ,he was being helped by madara trained obito and besides if fugaku had stood up to against itachi I highly doubt he would have been able to complete his mission. And all that fuss abt hiruzen being professor and all, all shisui had to do was use koto blam hiruzen is a goner. besides don't you think it would be highly suspicious if suddenly hiruzen gives hokage seat out of nowhere saying that it would stop the coup.everyone would suspect such a thing. besides without MS I don't see itachi ever winning against many(*cough* kakashi.) at the very best he was a prodigy who had really bad future and besides shisui and itachi sworned to protect the village from darkness. the only permanent solution to the coup I see is minato somehow telling about "madara".
