not precisely, but assuming they age like normal humans, we know the first/second(sounds like they died relatively young, according to the lore, we know they didnt live up to be old grandpas like the 3rd, so maybe mid 40s?) taught the third at a very young age. The third retired around the time when tobi discovered madara, so maybe 50-60 years has passed since madara defected from konoha. So that makes him around 100+ years old. From the founding of the village to naruto's present time, i want to say about three generations has passed (generation=25 years). Seems like they get a hokage every 25 years or so, mathematically ofc.

The 1st has to die around 45 + because he did meet tsunade and she looked to be 3-4. And 5 hokage within 100 years is kinda bad imo.. considering the third was Hokage for the majority of it.

not 5 hokages within 100, the 1st must have been mid 20s-30s from the founding of konoha, and madara wasn't that much different. So including that age + the third's age(since he was there for most of the time period) = that makes madara roughly about 100 years old, around when he met tobi or hell even assuming his age at the present time, 100 years give or take a few.

from what I recall, Tobirama died because he used himself as a scapegoat to help his team complete a mission, and thats when he choose the third hokage (cuz he knew he would die). I got this from the anime so idk if its from the manga.

Something like that, they were being chased by an elite team from the Hidden Cloud. Tobi chose to be a diversion so his team (who had Hiruzen and Danzo) could escape

Wait, I recall a scene from the anime, dont think its from Shippuuden.

Tobirama and Hashirama stands in the Hidden Leaf Village and talk to a Hiruzen Sarutobi that is still a child and tells him that he will be the 3rd Hokage?

Tobi's reason for being disliked is purely based on his misunderstanding of the shonen power of friendship conquering all, he bases his decision on scientific fact that the uchiha have dangerous brain chemistry when confronted with trauma. i dont hate him but he should recognize shounen friendship power
If we fear what we do not understand, then why is ignorance bliss?

Why? Because he doesn't trust someone who doesn't deserve to be trusted? Because he values democracy over monarchy? He was actually right about everything. If they just killed Madara on the battle field pretty much most of the fighting in the whole Naruto universe would not have happened. He was also right about the Uchihas in general. They did plan a coup on their own. If everything went the way Tobirama wanted there'd be no 9 tail attack on the village, no Pain, no Akatsuki, no evil Obito, no Uchiha revolt. The only bad thing left to happen to Konoha if Madara was dead is Orochimaru and he didn't do that much damage anyways.All he did was force the 3rds death. Not to mention that if there was no Madara there'd be no 9 tail attack and no Minato death so even that one death of the 3rd could have been avoided.

Tobirama isn't a dick, Hashirama is a pussy.

That's not bad at all when you consider they're leaders in a world with constant war. If you go back in time in our own world emperors and kings rarely ruled for more than a decade.

Tobirama was paranoid. His fear was unjustified. If Tobirama didn't exist Uchiha would have never been against the rest.

Also monarchy is the rule of next of kin - doesn't really apply here. Kages are dictators chosen for their power rather than for their bloodline. They are not monarchs.

They are elected and they also have to deal with the council guys. It's a democracy. Hashirama single handedly appointing the next hokage (and thus setting the principle) makes it more of a monarchy.

It didn't look like a proper democracy - Danzo was chosen by a small group of council individuals (which he influenced with Shisui's sharingan), Tsunade was just randomly put up because she is strong. Sarutobi was chosen by Hashirama and Tobirama. It seems that Hashirama was the only one to be chosen by a proper vote.

Also - once again, monarchy has nothing to do with this, because hokage is not a title that passes from one generation to the next, but rather from strongest sensible shinobi to the next strongest sensible shinobi. It's a dictatorship, not a monarchy.

What you call monarchy is strictly heriditary monarchy. In an elective monarchy the leader is elected and when the society gets too big for everyone to vote the monarch is elected by nobility or local representatives. Just like Danzo was chosen like you pointed out. And Tsunade also went though the same process of being taken into consideration and then allowed into power. The latest chapters of the manga implies Hashirama was also chosen by the people.

Also Sarutobi wasn't chosen by Hashirama, he was chosen by Tobirama. And here is the time to plug in that it's not uncommon for an elective monarchy to become a heriditary monarchy over time.

They don't chose the strongest shinobi to be hokage - Kakashi was considered to be the next one after Danzo while I think it's pretty clear he's no match for Naruto and probably many other.

Also a dictatorship would imply that the leader is above the rule of law and he has absolute power while in the Narutoverse I think it's more power within the confines of the established rules - which is pretty much a sign of an elective monarchy or a democracy.
