[Naruto] Why did Konoha go back to the 3rd Hokage after 4th died rather than choosing a 5th?

The 4th had not named a successor and in the aftermath of the ninetails attack it was wiser to have the 3rd step back into the role. He was well liked, already familiar with governing, and although he was older he was still strong, strong enough to keep their enemies at bay while a weakened Konoha recovered from the attack.
