Naruto=Next Hokage?

[Tenz]

I can see Naruto either dying or traveling like jiraiya. Konohamaru for Hokage ( Although he is not strong enough yet)

[PrinceofPeace]

you need leadership as kage and power does not matter thus Shikamaru is the best choice

[WishfulFairie]

I don't think Shikamaru would even accept the role

[PrinceofPeace]

with the WILL of FIRE and the death of his master he would at least consider it

power doesn't matter? then why the strongest ninjas in villages are usually kages (or jinchurikis)? :P

[PrinceofPeace]

Please Tsunade is not the strongest in the Leaf Jiryria would wipe her floor and Kakashi would as well

But still Shikamaru is only a chunin level in terms of powers.

Hm?

Tsunade isn't the strongest.

She only became Kage due to her reputation and because Jiraya recommended her.

Power matters to some extent though isn't the most crucial part.

@Tenz

he does not have to be the hokage this instant. His dad is a better choice if we had to chose right now

@Vivi

I would want leadership >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Power in my leader any day. Power is what the army is for. As long as the kage is good at leading his people and makes good choices than that is all that matters

Yes in this world you would want leadership>power any day but in a world where everyone is fighting and killing each other I think you would pick the guy who would protect the village with his life and very passionate about it. After all Naruto can just get assistance from others. Also the way I see it is the Hokage positions is kinda like the Queen of England its is an iconic person who the people love but Parliament runs the place just how the advisers and elders run the place in Konoha.

Just look at the villages

Hokage/Tsunade is not the strongest in her village! Kakashi and Jiryria and Naruto are stonger

Raikage/Ay is also not the strongest in his village! Killer B could take him any day

Garra and Onoki are the strongest in their village

We do not know that much about the mist though but Kisame could take her out.

Valid point but this generation apart from Gaara and Onoki are arguably the weakest kage in history. Tsunade is part of the 3 sannin, best healer in Naruto, granddaughter of 1st Hokage, so she is special. Ay is Raikage because his dad was 3rd Raikage and at the time he was stronger than Bee. I don't know much about the whole Mist village but I know she has 3 kekkei genkai so she is special as well and Kisame is a rouge ninja. The Kage's don't have to be the strongest but they have to have something special and have to be among the strongest in there village.

[PrinceofPeace]

Well your right about one thing (and others) you do not know much about the mist. Mei only has 2 kg (boil & mist)

It does not really matter when Ay was stronger cuz currently he is not stronget than Bee.

The Nara's intelligence is what makes them special

Yea the Nara clan have some very smart individuals and I guess you don't need to be the strongest in the village but they should still be among the top like 5 strongest in the village. I wouldn't mind Shikamaru being Hokage or his dad its just they haven't shown any signs that they want to and they would need to get stronger like at least top 10 strongest in the village.

[PrinceofPeace]

They do have high postitions and are truely respected though

It would just seem awkward if something big goes down and the Hokage doesn't go to stop the invasion or S class intruder but instead sends Naruto or Guy or Kakashi. Also the biggest thing they don't want but yes I do agree they are very intelligent and definitely have the smarts to be Hokage.

[PrinceofPeace]

well they are not a horrible choice.

[Shisko Shi]

Well Naruto for sure has a talent to Change peoples hearts and engourge them, he motivates them and dosnt listein to what people think just does what he thinks is best sometimes. but power does have a factor as the Hokage is showld defend the village right?
