i dont think hiruzen would have done that he implicated that he knew about the uchiha incident and knew that it had to be done but he just didnt have the hart to do it hiruzen knew he was naive so he let danzo be the bad guy and sovle it

Hm, wasn't he dying? I don't think he could have saved himself anymore, because if he could have, he'd just do that.

And he wanted to rule Konoha his own way, so yeah, selfish. With his lack of faith in people and his tendency to not value lives he could have only been a pretty terrible ruler. no this isnt even up for dicusion he would have been a great hokage ruthless, unethical? maybe but good for the village and faith in people doesnt always help you need to have a certain natural distrust to be a good leader and people say that he just did bad things with good intentions but if orochimaru had become hokage the world would have been so much better because orochimaru wouldnt have been the enemy of konoha (he wasnt evil yet at the time it could have been avoided) sasuke wouldnt have turned evil and gone so far with it because he couldnt have gone to orochimaru madara wouldnt have been able to start the great ninja war because there would have been no sage mode kabuto to resurect him and people like neji wouldnt have died so after all his plan wasnt so bad because yes he knew orochimaru was going to turn evil so in a last atempt (and a big bet) he tried to make him hokage (just like hashirama tried to make madara hokage to stop him from turing evil of which i think we all agree was a good plan even though not democratic) but he was stopped by hiruzen (just like hashirama by tobirama) and his last plan failed which in turn made him desperate to save the village and thats why he acts so strange (not neceserly bad)
