ok, a hokage is the best fighter in the town, and chosen to be the protector and leader of the village right?
my question is: why was the 3rd hokage ALIVE but the 4th was dead? how can this be? how can there be a 4th hokage when the 3rd was still alive? i jsut dont get it.. doesnt seem logic to me.. someone got any theories? i got 1:

3rd hokage got crowned, he got kidnapped, everyone thought he was dead, so they crowned a new hokage. and then he died saving the 3rd hokage, and then the 3rd hokage got the crown back... or something [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] ?? theories please... or... fill me in if i have overlooked any facts..
