[i][b]Famed for:[/b] Being the first Uchiha as a leader, restoring the Uchiha clan, reforming the general organization of the police force.[/i]

[h3]9. [url=http://i62.tinypic.com/211w48j_th.jpg]Momo Shimura[/url][/h3]

[i]Danzo Shimura's great grand daughter and victim of general public shame once many Konoha governmental documents were declassified. The Shimura fell from their grace during the orange Hokage's and Sarada's reign, pushing them into tight social dilemmas and limiting their access to certain jobs. Though the clan wasn't responsible for Danzo's many illegal activites, their indeniable link to him caused general distrust from the populations and a need to receive an apology from the entirety of the clan. 

Momo Shimura was a firm believer in jutice and sought to make things right. Her clan apologizing was of course, an outrageous option, but Konoha's anger wasn't unjustified. Having as much talent as the progenitor of this mess, she quickly ascended ranks and befriended Sarada Uchiha as she reached the end of her term. Despite the suffering brought to the Uchiha by the Shimura, Momo was deeply trusted by Sarada and was, quite ironically, given charge of Root. As salvation for her clan and to purge the sin of Konoha's past, she abolished the entire organization and instored a new insitution known as the 11th Corp. It would be founded on similar operations, but adhering to general human rights and of course, would only work via the approval of the population.

This action not only earned Konoha's forgiveness toward the past but also allowed Momo to be demanded as the Hokage when Sarada reached the limit of her position. Her reign as Hokage was a rather peaceful one with multiple reforms regarding the law being made, especially with general expension going on.

[i]Gonba was the choice after Momo, being the great grandson of the famous Ichiraku ramenshop owner. It didn't seem like an obvious choice but he had transformed into a great cooking nin, who was able to use the instruments of his cookery in displays of great strength, and use his raw ingredients to attack.

However the reason for his choosing wasn't his strength, although it was definetely a factor, it was his ongoing support for the industrialization for Konohagakure, which played a large part in the current situation of Konoha's politics. At this time it wasn't expected that the industrialization would impact the shinobi trade as heavily as it did, providing Gonba with a large amount of support to become Hokage. Progresses made under his rulership included the creation of a high tech police facility, which over the years made regular shinobi investigators almost obsolete to the point where shinobi investigators were only called on when a crime was commited by a shinobi. 

Furthermore the building of a large scale kunai factory was done, providing even regular citizens with a set of these for a cheap price, but ultimately, also meant that regular citizens had a lesser need for protection by Konohagakure shinobi, and ultimately also led to the devaluation of the kunais in circulation at that point in time.

[i]A Hokage whom, like the old times, proved his worth through power alone. Recognized as the strongest Shinobi Konohagakure had produced since Hiruzen Sarutobi and Naruto Uzumaki. However Tenzu was mostly known for being the first shinobi to have both parents come from the Water Country, while he was born in Konoha as they immigrated. He lived off poor most of his life as his parents had very low qualifications, he didn't gave much of a choice and enrolled as a pofessional shinobi. 

He discovered his telents there and became known as the most talented Chuunin of the decade when he was 15. A year later he was promoted to Jonin and was given highly sensitive operations. He eventually hit politics as his notoriety got the attention of many big shots, and later on his portfolio was massive enough to enclude people from all parts of the country. As he reached the Hokage's personal circle, he already had many mob bosses supporting him, which left Gonba lacking in trust toward the powerful shinobi. 

As Gonba passed away, Konoha was given a choice, and Tenzu was not one of the recommended nin to be elected. However, the massive lobby Tenzu had achieved and his general prowess that assured many military oriented inviduals got him the votes to reach the top. He is still considered the Fourth God of Shinobi to this day despite the many scandals regarding him.

[i]Mariko's primary skills were not in combat or martial prowess but rather in diplomacy and economics. There was a large call for this after Tenzu nearly instigated a world war and a break down of the shinobi alliance with his violent shows of power, which were almost on par with the fourth Raikage's bouts of showing off.

Mariko Hyuuga had a hard time dealing with the increased level of Yakuza activity in Konohagakure despite attempts to reform, including crack downs, bargaining and even surrendering power to them at points in time. Despite all attempts to get rid of the illegal Yakuza activity she remained largely unsuccesful and was mocked constanly for failing to deal with the issues at hand, despite her best efforts.

Current critics say there was little she could've done but she is still widely regarded as the 'worst Hokage to ever exist' and as a result of that she resigned at an early age and immigrated to Kumogakure, along with a small portion of the side branch to protect her byakugan.
