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.

:laugh:

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.

Interesting point, but I don't think the 4 hokages didn't have to face the insurmountable at such young ages. Even if they did, all the characters develop at different rates. What matters is if they reach the same point, whether it's during adolescence or adulthood. The living characters didn't have enough time to develop. I think they would have been able to in a couple more years.

This war is just too early for the living characters. Many of them are potential legends, they don't suck. I mean, if you go back far enough, you could find a time where the legendary 4 hokages wouldn't have been able to handle this same situation. It's not a fair comparison, the timing is just unfortunate.

However, that's just between the non-hokages who haven't yet reached their primes, and the 4 hokages who have (and kinda passed it). The current crop of hokages are all past their primes and just couldn't do shyt. Sad.

:pachaha: How do you guys come with these names?
I think its best Sauce becomes Hokage...he understands the difficult political choices and what are the consequences of them. But he doesn't understand the core meaning or importance of peace I don't believe. He's shown no remorse for the horrible things that he's done or the horrible things that the Kage deal with in the sake of peace. Like Danzo to Naruto's Hiruzen.

I think Sasuke would be more reasonable than Danzo was with Hiruzen and Sasuke know what things not to do so the stuff that happen will not happen again. If Sasuke were to become hokage what happen's to naruto? Next Jiraya?

Part of me knew they were gonna try and make Sasuke Hokage, but to have him just show up and tell everyone he's gonna do it was just bullshyt.

They definitely hinted at it though with the flashback story about how the village was founded.

Oh and I got no respect for the Madara character anymore. He's just a emo bytch that has a single white female type crush on Hashirama. Good thing Itachi didn't inherit that "bytchassness" gene that the other Uchiha's clearly have.

that sums up everything that's gone wrong with this series perfectly. every dead character dug up from the grave to indulge in an overdose of fan service.

i would have preferred if all these dead hokages stayed dead and Naruto and the gang rose to the occasion and took care of things carving out their own legend.

Sasuke's sudden heel turned face. unless he's gonna battle Naruto for the title of hokage he's officially become a waste of a character. he was showing signs of becoming the cold hearted ruthless villain this series lacked and desperately needed since Orochimaru was neutered and marginalized (and came back suffering from character amnesia and helps the good guys).

i don't know if Kishimoto is suffering from just being exhausted writing this series but it reeks of being rushed to a conclusion and trying to please everyone at the expense of its own quality. characters are beginning to behave irrationally now. and all the villains have been transformed into emos who have a sob story and can't get over it or idiots that decide to abandon their evil principals and become good just for the hell of it.

its funny as Bleach more or less begins to gets its act together Naruto begins to unravel. i was pleased with how Kabuto turned out though even if he lost and he too just needed a hug.
