Yes, Kakashi not wanting to be Hokage doesn't mean he'll refuse the offer since its a kind of responsibility for the good of Konoha. But seeing that "moment" has already passed, I don't think it will come again. Its just not right. I can see Tsunade passing down the title to Naruto since he's already powerful enough with the "Hero of Konoha" title to boot. Saving a village is the Hokage's job and he's already done that single-handedly. I don't really see another Hokage before Naruto, meaning Tsunade won't die before that happens. Heck there's a possibility of him not being Hokage at all. He'll probably get a status equivalent to RS which applies to the whole shinobi world after the war ends.



Well the important thing to remember is the council already had evidence of Naruto being a hero by him defeating Pein. They knew roughly just how powerful he was, yet still went in different directions twice.

There's also the Fire Lord himself to consider, as apparently he has some final say over who the Hokage is.

While Naruto is probably strong enough to be the Seventh, there's a pretty compelling argument, that he's not quite mature or wise enough. Hence, I would think Kakashi would make the ideal transitional Hokage from Tsunade to Naruto. And unlike Naruto OR Tsunade, Kakashi would understand like the 3rd, that yes being Hokage sometimes makes ugly decisions.

No, it is fact. Kakashi did not want to become Hokage in the first place, he even said that he's not suitable for that kind of job when Tsunade woke up from the coma.


That doesn't mean he won't take the job as a placeholder until Naruto's old enough for it. Even after Naruto defeated Pein, Kakaski was the first one mentioned for the job by the Leaf itself.

Bumping Naruto to being the eighth would make sense given his father was the fourth (and Konohamaru being the Ninth go along with the Third also fits).

Half the Shinobi Alliance was killed, but not a single named character on their side died? Man, Masashi Kishimoto really can't bring himself to kill any of his precious children, can he? *Sigh*

Hmm, with Shikamaru's comments, it seems like Gedo Mezo might actually be the Ten-Tailed Beast. That would certainly make sense.

I think if anyone is gonna die, they would be highlighted in this calm before the storm chapter or three. After all, the old guard can't be completely replaced by the new until they're assured they will live on somehow. In some cases that could mean fathering a child before heading into battle for some of the characters.

Thinking a little more along those lines I'd say characters on death watch alert should be Tsunade (Last of the Sanin, already established that Kakashi will be the next Hokage bridging the gap to Naruto), Iruka (Seeing as how he co-starred in that flashback) and/or one of the Naruto's friends (50/50 on Lee or Shino at this point IMO seeing as neither have a long term goal that's important, Lee proved his worth already and Shino's storyline is ?).

Just a guess...

the former jinchurriki! are Naruto's prelims, his warm-up opponents. He and Bee are the heavy hitters next to the Kage (and Kakashi). I agree he's supposed to fight Sasuke but since it's likely they won't fight right away, they have to give Naruto someone else to punch. And putting to rest the others like him would fit.

If the world-wide theory about Zombies holds true, then destroying their brain (ie cutting their heads off) would defeat the Zombies instantly.

This chapter ended way too fast.... I thought it was only five pages then, chapter ends wtf? err.gif
Man, Gai seems to be the only Jonin in Konoha to stand up to an Akatsuki member....



Well lets think about this.

The first time Itachi appears, he even comments on how powerful Guy is. Guy is repeatedly referred to by himself as Kakashi's #1 rival (a claim that while Kakashi ignores but doesn't necessarily dispute Guy's strength) and of all the Jonin we've seen, Guy's strengths don't seem to rely an easily exploitable weakness (relying on Genjutsu for example). Nor is Kisame the huge mismatch that say Hidan was.

I tend to think that Guy is the second strongest jonin of Konoha after Kakashi, which would explain why he's so strong and able to give Kisame an even fight (at the moment).

Whether or not he'll be able to finish Kisame off, is a different matter. I think Naruto will be the one that finishes Kisame.
