There is no need for a step down, Hashirama was killed shortly after the founding of the village and similarly Nidaime died during the early days of the 1st world war that started soon after that. Sandaime ruled Konoha for almost its entire existence. It's a classic case of Nobunaga pounds the national rice cake, Hideyoshi kneads it, and in the end Ieyasu sits down and eats it.
