Only reason Danzo got in was...

1. Current Hokage was :dead:
2. Despite being a dikk, he was a respected elder who had loyally served Konoha for years
3. There were really no other good candidates at the time
4. He used Shisui's eye to brainwash the Daimyo into nominating him


How would that work for Sasuke?

1. There are already multiple better candidates (Naruto and Kakashi)

2. Everybody in the village loves Naruto. Everybody in the village (besides Naruto and Sakura) hates Sasuke. In order to be hokage, the Jounin have to vote for you. Would the Jounins really vote for Sasuke over Naruto?

3. Would the Daimyo even nominate Sasuke? Even in Danzo's case, he wasn't an actual criminal. Sasuke has aided a terrorist organization, caused international incidents, and even attacked all of the current Kages (other than Tsunade). Wouldn't the other villages (especially Cloud) resent Sasuke being hokage?


And honestly, we've been reading for 600+ chapters anticipating how and when Naruto will become Hokage. Would Kishi really :troll: us like that and make Sasuke the Hokage at the last minute? That would be like Zoro becoming Pirate King instead of Luffy.

I really, really hope Kishi doesn't go that route. :scusthov:

Well said.. :obama:

Sasuke seems out of character. Even when he was on the good side he wasnt like that.

I do wonder if him being there is an illusion by his behavior.

Or kishi could be just rushing Sasuke part of the story to finish up the manga.

In a way I could see Sasuke trying to become hokage in a fashion of Danzo where he was disliked by most but still was made hokage. :manny:

I dont think it is. Most of development has been terrible.... From his weaksauce heeling to his vindicated rampage again the Ninja world. Despite that his story is a story of someone who's world was destroyed by the ways of the Ninja villages, domestic and foreign. Makes sense he'd want to in charge of the strongest one, in hopes of changing the system. :yeshrug:

It not really what he wants to do its how he expressed it.

Takes a lot for someone to go from a crazy and psychopathic state of mind who had it to kill everybody in the village to want to jump into it again and even become its hokage as fast as he did. Hs words alone felt like he was introduced as a new character out of the blue with how radically his personality changed.

I feel as though they rushed his conversion.

This manga is cool to follow because its ninja we've heard about since day one .... All getting it in finally

But overall... It really is one big power up session. Who has the bigger jutsu... Or energy reserve. A lot of The old rules don't apply anymore. They just don't. Dudes regenerate entire reservoirs of Chakra in five minutes to twenty. And are back at full force.

which in turn marginalizes the current living crop of characters. the four previous hokages being there makes the titular character seem almost irrelevant. in the very moments he's supposed to be building his own legend they step in and take his shine. when they were doing it back in their day nobody did that for them. they didn't need crutches to become legends.

You looking at it .. Kinda the wrong way bruh. Put it like this... Imagine if like mjordan in his PRIME stepped to Lebron or Kobe in their PRIMES ... And then went :salute: to one of them

Have any of those guys faced a threat as large as this one though?

An undead army of the most powerful ninja in history PLUS tailed beasts.

Hashirama fought Madara solo. this cat took out all 5 current kages a few chapters ago.
let Naruto fight him and beat him solo.

its more like Jordan in his prime coming back and playing on Kobe or LeBron's team against Wilt.
