Don-kun: Why do you blame those who are negative? It's like you look down on them. We've kept our loyalty, but Kishi disappoints everytime. I don't even know what posts you are talking about. It is not right to be positive or negative, just give some rational arguments to your thoughts. I don't like when people tell others to be more positive, or more realistic. As long as it's not the same old whining, I don't understand why your are facepalming.
^This so much.
What a refreshing post! I don't think there's much chance that something like this could happen, but it's fun to consider.
I wish Kishimoto would do something like this. It would be a big step for Tsunade to take, since Sakura hasn't received the power-ups of either Sasuke or Naruto, or even Kakashi, and it's a stretch to think she's at Kage level right now, but that could change quickly. Anything is possible. It's fun to think outside the box.
There's been so much, "There's NO WAY Sakura has gone to the Kage..." but I don't understand why. The truth is we have no idea what's going to happen next, and Sakura being summoned to the Kage is as plausible as any other theory. People seem to be hung up on the notion that Sakura said she would fight with Naruto, and that going to the Kage instead of being part of the current charge against the Juubi would somehow mean she isn't fighting with Naruto. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Sakura also said they would ALL fight together. Wouldn't that include the Kage -- assuming some of them survive? Tsunade's fate has to be resolved at some point, one way or another, and it's logical to assume that Sakura would be involved in that resolution. Just because she goes to the Kage and is part of that thread of the story doesn't mean she's not fighting with Naruto, or preclude her from returning to the main battle.
In #616 Kishimoto gave us a brief glimpse of what Sasuke was doing, then returned to the main battle. Then #617 ends with Sasuke again. Is the story going to shift to Sasuke now, or is it possible that Kishimoto is starting to weave several plotlines together? One focusing on each member of Team 7?
What if he starts interweaving Sasuke's part of the story, with Naruto leading the battle against the Juubi, with Sakura's resolution with Tsunade? I agree that's pretty ambitious for Kishimoto, but it's possible, and would be a cool way to bring Team 7 to a more equal footing before Naruto and Sasuke meet.
Like I said, we really have no idea what Kishimoto has planned. I mean, so much has happened in the last few chapters that just a few months ago many of us would have sworn would never happen. Hinata showing chutzpah and getting a chance to fulfill her dream of holding Naruto's hand? Who thought or foresaw it actually happening, much less happening the way it did?
We shouldn't be so quick to assume we know exactly what's going to happen, or presume what couldn't possibly happen. There are a lot of ways Kishimoto could go with the remaining threads of the story.
The problem is, Sakura hasn't gotten any development that would make her possible to become Hokage in the readers' eyes. Sure, she's shown some leadership in the Pain arc while Tsunade passed out. And there's also the fact that she's her apprentice. But that's it. Her fight with Sasori was her only big fight. Can we actually use Sasori's fight as a parameter for Hokage qualifications?? no. That's not enough. She needs more. Hell, If I had to say, I'd say Shikamaru is more than ready to be Hokage considering his physical and mental development has been very consistent. Sakura, on the other hand, is completely inconsistent (except when it comes to Naruto).
Another thing, which one would you pick, Sakura going to the Kages with prior development, or her appearing at the Kages' location randomly?? pick one. I understand the whole "underneath the underneath" theme and how it applies to Sakura's panel in 615, but really, Kishi could've simply inserted a small panel or bubble of Shikaku/Katsuyu contacting her. Just either one of them saying "Sakura..." would've been enough. That alone would've been much better development towards that particular plotline. If she appears at the Kages' location (explained through flashbacks) I would still feel cheated. Hell, it would've been better if Kishimoto could've at least confirmed she had the Slug contract. That would've made it more believable. But this scenario, sounds way too much of an asspull on the level of Genma knowing Hiraishin and Sasuke's hawk contract.
Regarding the Team 7 plot interconnecting, that certainly would be interesting to see.
Lastly, I'm not saying it's not plausible for this scenario to happen. Just that it would come out way out of nowhere to happen without even a decent development beforehand or whatsoever.
Qia: If we add in some MK goodness, Minato told Kushina in her dying moments that she was the one who made him Hokage. : ) Obviously, she had a great deal in it.
That certainly would be great. And extremely symbolic to boot.
^Wasn't Sakura going to surpass Tsunade? Isn't she going to be one of the next sannin or something? Tsunade could fight Orochimaru, but Sasuke could take Sakura with only a few shots.
And some of the comparisons doesn't fit. Nami is not a fighter(mainly), she is a brain. She's a navigator. Luffy fights, she shows the way. That's what OP is, each member of the crew can do their thing. The characters stated this several times. And Inuyasha is a half-demon, making him quite powerful compared to a schoolgirl from the 20th century. I haven't watched all the FMA episodes, but so far, Winry doesn't look like an alchemist/fighter at all.
Winry is basically Ed's medic. And usually, when Ed starts moping, she becomes his emotional support by giving him a good ol' wrench applied to the noggin

Neji's death hit me. He wasn't exactly in my top ten favorite characters, but I liked him a lot! His callback line from the Sasuke Retrieval Arc made me eyes water.
He got so much development from the pompous jerk he used to be and I always felt like he deserved to be leader of the Clan. He had the assertiveness and calm, rational judgement. Hinata has
none of those. She lets her emotions cloud her judgement, can only publicly speak in a crisis, and she doesn't take her Hyuga heiress role seriously enough. It's just "Naruto-kun, Naruto-kun!". Hence why I have always considered Neji a much better character than Hinata. It's a shame he's not as popular as her.
Honestly, I feel if there had to be one of the K-11 that had to die, it would be Lee. Think about it, Lee's death might even awaken the next stage of Byakugan for Neji. Just to show that the Uchiha and Uzumaki aren't the only ones with Haxxx bloodlines
