Secondly, the first era of Kage was indeed implied to be the strongest, although this is because they were forged in an era of permanent strife. If they weren't the strongest, they would never have survived.

I am sure I remember in part 1 the Hokage was said to be the title of the strongest Ninja in the village. Itachi did say something about the title of kage was the one who was acknowledged. But with out being the strongest Ninja being acknowladged alone would not be not get you there you have to be the strongest.

I mean if the 1st era of Kage was weak the Hashirama would have taken over the Ninja world. the 1st gen kages had to be at least close to Hashirama level for this to be possable. and then every gen after that would be weaker then the next with only a few exceptions along the way.
