how ironic that kage means shadow in japanese1)I keep hearing how he'd be good for a Hokage on the boards.All of you couldn't be more wrong.Raven is right.First off he's too lazy.Second, his powers aren't the type to really create a good Kage.
edit in a bad attempt to make my post not seem useless: ...i still don't see how people couldn't be more wrong, even though i don't see shikamaru being a hokage later in the series... he's not that lazy...
another edit in response to post below:
orly, ok.
...i guess i won't be posting jokes anymore, cuz i seem to suck at making it obvious.
