Minato Was Supposed To Be The Strongest Ninja Of All Time

When Naruto began, Minato was supposed to be the strongest ninja of all time. This was very clear by the way the story was told. Eventually, in Naruto Shippuden Kishimoto made a retcon making the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the strongest ninja of all time and the God of Shinobi. Minato, the 4th Hokage was still extremely powerful, but no longer the strongest of them all.

Let's explore the Minato Retcon, analyze if it was a good idea to make Hashirama the strongest ninja, and what that caused to the story. We'll also determine when this Retcon was implemented by Kishimoto, in which point of Naruto Shippuden Hashirama became the strongest Hokage and Ninja.
