Itachi... Hokage?
I was wondering... Wouldn't it be less life-costing and clan-wiping out to have Itachi appointed as the fifth Hokage? The third had already stepped down once before in favor of Minato. Itachi was certainly very loyal to the village and a move like that would have halted any attempts of coup d'etat from the Uchiha, since one of their own was the head of the village. Aside from obvious plot reasons -which actually are the most probable cause- there could have been two other reasons (that I can think of):
1) Itachi wasn't considered strong enough. And so Minato was indeed that awesome (no irony intended).
2) The rest of the village were indeed shunning the Uchiha and they were not going to give the Hokage title to any Uchiha, ever.
What are your thoughts? Can you think of any other reasons?
