Most Powerful Hokage and Hokage Candidates of the Leaf Village.
This is a pretty simple list. The Hokage are the leaders of the Leaf Village and are generally considered the most powerful of the village or one of. But not all shinobi are equal in strength and its only natural that on Kage may be more powerful than another. This is a list of the most powerful Hokage from least to greatest. And of course MAJOR SPOILERS.
NOTE 1: This is with candidates included like title says.
NOTE 2: At least of 1/15/15 Obito, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Itachi and ones like them are not included. This is because they are never mentioned as nominees but rather really want it or are mentioned to be worthy. Obito's status due to some statements from lord 4th is up for debate as to whether or not he should be on. As of now though he is not.
NOTE 3: This is a pretty big piece of information I forgot to mention so I'll mention it here. This isn't based off Prime stats. This is based on the stats last seen. If that were the case we'd have a very different list. (I mean very different). For one Kakashi would be the 4th most powerful hokage not last(Naruto being 1st, 3rd being 2nd, 1st being 3rd, Kakashi being 4th). So yeah. Pretty big thing I left out lol.
