But I think we have at least 75-100 more chapters to go before the manga ends.
I think the WAR is going to end but after that, I know Kishimoto is going to wrap some stuff up.
Everyone is saying that right after the war, Naruto is going to become Hokage but I don't think that's going to happen soon. Remember, Tsunade is alive and well now AND the previous Hokages are around. Sasuke is definitely NOT going to be Hokage. The leaf village will not elect a rogue, perviously missing ninja over Naruto or someone else; it doesn't matter what he does in the war, he's still a jacka** for everything he's done.
And personally, here's the big one, I don't think Naruto will become the 6th Hokage.
He hasn't been a war hero.
Everybody else(Konoha 11) has proven themselves at his level.
I think Ino deserves the MVP award for this war. She's been working her butt off since even before the war. She listened to her father be BLOWN UP by the enemy and she continued to be an even bigger BAMF!
I get a little annoyed when people are all like, "Woo Naruto! Our hero! He's Hokage material! Woo! Bow down to him! What a BAMF!"
When his friends are working just as hard(if not, harder) in this fight.
I think LovesWolves will agree with me.
Naruto's not gonna come out of this war as a hero this time. That happened at the end of Pein's invasion because Naruto was the main guy fighting Pein and talking to Nagato.
But now he's not the only one fighting the Juubi. When Madara and the Juubi are put away, it's not going to be because of Naruto and Naruto only. Wars aren't like that.
There's so much Kishimoto can do and doing the usual 'hoorah everybody loves Naruto' thing would be a waste of the end of his manga.
Yes, he's the main character, but he's not the MVP right now.
He's not going to be Hokage until he thoroughly proves himself.
And that includes passing the Chuunin exam!!!
Genin for Hokage? Is that possible?
Just my idea considering you asked.
Lots of valid points here. And yeah, i guess i would like to see Naruto become hokage, but there does need to be something else that just sets him above everyone other than being the main character.
As for Sasuke....well.....I would rather see him die in this war than to find out what punishments await him. I adore him too much to see him suffer any more than he already has. Just....Leave the poor confused, hurt and emotionally beaten kid alone.
And i hate to say it, but Sakura has really helped prove herself in the last couple of chapters. She's right up there with Naruto and Sasuke. If Naruto doesn't end up Hokage, i say she will.
Although, wouldn't it be funny if he went through with the idea of having Kakashi as Hokage? xD (All of Konoha: Noooooo! xD )
