I think I didn't watch _Naruto_ carefully because I can't understand one
thing: After the third Hokage died, the fifth was chosen. Why did they skip
the Fourth Hokage?

Why did they skip the 4th Hokage and choose the 5th instead after the 3rd died?


After Sarutobi Hiruzen (the third hokage) stepped down, Namikaze Minato
(Naruto's father) became the fourth hokage. Minato died during the kyuubi
attack during which it was sealed inside Uzumaki Naruto. Konoha now lacking a
hokage, they chose to bring back Sarutobi into office.

So they didn't skip the fourth hokage, they just reinstated the third one
after the fourth...

There was a 4th Hokage when the 3rd Hokage stepped down.

But then the 4th Hokage died prematurely, meaning that the 3rd Hokage had to
take up the position as Hokage back (becoming the fifth).
