History
Hiruzen promoted himself as the “strongest Hokage” to make other villages wary of Konoha. He admitted this was propaganda when the resurrected Hashirama and Tobirama questioned the title. Their subsequent fight with him publicly undermined the claim 125 126 127.
After Hiruzen’s death, Naruto urged Tsunade to lead Konoha. She assumed temporary authority without objection and organized the immediate recovery. Her formal appointment as Fifth Hokage followed later 135 186.
