I will never forgive Oda

Yes, Tobirama created things that would lead to contention and problems later. Later being the operative word. It's on Hiruzen for not following up on them properly. And hiruzen has admitted as such too.
Or for Tobirama's lack of foresight as Hiruzen utilized what existed.

Imagine telling the Uchiha Clan you were stripping away their monopoly on being police, what an insult that would be. A horrible one. And his ninjutsu, which Hashirama warned him against mind you, Tobirama continued to progress.
And yes, hiruzen preached peace and all. But he didn't take action when needed. Tobirama put him on charge, not danzo. But he still let danzo have significant power and controll all because of his friendship and guilt of him getting to be hokage and danzo not.
Hiruzen never felt guilt, Hiruzen utilized a shinobi who could act autonomously with the village's best interests at heart. Danzo had a warped view of that mission but for 45 years, it was working pretty well.

Orochimaru called him out for that. And we all know how worthy the snake is to call out others right?. Tobirama, as said by himself, knew that the uchiha clans eyes and the power of love it has on them, was a ticking time bomb. So he did the best he thought, and gave them authority and responsibility, so that they could use their powers for the leaf. And when he explained that after reincarnation, none of the hokage raised any opposition. Cause that was facts. Hard facts. He did what he thought was the best possible action to prevent another madara raising from within the village.
It's outright rebutted by Orochimaru that giving them this privileges' was the beginning of their downfall lol. Tobirama is more the cause of the Uchiha's discrimination than anyone save Obito himself, since the Kyuubi jacked up the suspicions the village had for the Uchiha Clan.

While the uchiha were discontent about the "segregation" They were still at relative peace for a long time. It was only after the nine tails incident, in which danzo fucked up again by ordering the uchiha to stand back, that the discontent grew to the level of a potential coup d'etat.
That's anime only, it never happened in the manga.
 
Naruto had a decent apartment and an allowance for food. The abuse or negligence only comes from the anime, which is not canon. Could he have been better? Yeah. But Naruto was very well off in all ways but companionship.

Orochimaru escaping was bad on him, yes. We talked about it.

Because no person is an island? Naruto has Shikamaru at the end of Shippuden in this role, a close adviser. Hiruzen is repeatedly said to be a bleeding heart and tries to negotiate as much as possible until the last second—which is a flaw. Which is why he had Danzo who executed what the village needed to be done. But this combination still led Konoha through...

2nd Shinobi World War
3rd Shinobi World War
Sunagakure/Otogakure attack

With potential for the 1st Shinobi World War, it's not conclusive.





The Uchiha faced discrimination before Hiruzen's reign, it grew under his and exploded after the Kyuubi attack but the Uchiha dug their own graves. Hiruzen should be given a pat on the back for all the time he gave them to rethink their course.

Others didn't rule for 45+ years and through as many conflicts.
Hmmm he made mistakes but he wasn't as bad as I first thought

I still don't think all the good he did erases the failures but he wasn't too bad

Giving him the number 1 spot is crazy though
