So, I'm writing a NS fanfic and I have a quick question:
What is the consensus on Naruto as the 7th Hokage?
- Are you ok that Kakashi was made 6th, giving Naruto a little more time to emotionally mature and/or being mentored under Kakashi for the job?
- Or do you feel Kakashi should never have been made 6th, since there was no precedent for it other than Obito's desire to do it, and it instead should have gone straight to Naruto?
- Or would you have been ok with Naruto as 7th and Kakashi as 6th, as long as Kakashi's role was better explained as a mentor, and Naruto's ascendency to the Hokage seat was fully developed, including how he would have done things differently?
The ending made me feel cheated of the biggest non-shipping development that I was looking forward to — seeing Naruto come to power and watching him adjust to his role and how he was going to do things in his own way with his own style.
But I'm wondering how people feel about Kakashi stepping up suddenly instead of Naruto.
Anyway, I have some specific ideas about how I'm going to write the revised ending in terms of how Naruto comes to power, but I want to know how other fans feel about whether he should have been 6th kage or if 7th kage is acceptable as long as the development had been better.
