Hiruzen also is grossly underestimated. He practically singlehandedly instilled the Will of Fire into the generations under his rule. Ruled for over 30 years successfully through 2 World Wars. Managed to keep Danzo in check for most of the time and died protecting the village.

The Fact is and this has been proven Madara would have made a HORRIBLE Hokage. Why? He was to brutal and would have launched the village into an all out war against the other Hidden Villages. He didn't want equality between all the Hidden Villages he wanted superiority that is not good for peace.

Uchiahmasters you need to recognize that this is the story that Obito was told from Madara who had an inherently biased opinion. Obito believed the Uchiha were locked out of the power structure when this was never the case. In reality the Uchiha were treated like everyone else. The Sarutobi Clan for example was never in a "position of power" but look what happened. Hiruzen became the Third Hokage and Konohamuru will most likely become the 8th Hokage after Naruto is done. In matter of fact when you look at it this way they were treated inherently better than every other clan because they were given the Police not the other way round.

The Funniest thing of all is even with Madara's betrayal and the Uchiha being "locked out of the power structure", the Uchiha still had more chances than anyone else to have one of them become Hokage. If Obito had returned to the village and Lord 4th lived, Obito was guaranteed to become a Hokage. Itachi if not for Danzo and his disease very well could have become Hokage himself. I didn`t say he`d be a good hokage I just said he`d be able to protect his clan.
