It's all technicalities, the Hokage needs to make a toast during new years, and Naruto can't drink yet. so he's out of the game.Originally Posted by Spaceaprion
seriously, you didn't really expect them to put a 16 years old boy as their leader, did you?
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Well sandaime was like 12 >_>, but anyway doesn't 9th hokage sound kinda fitting for naruto? Having kyuubi and all..
That would mean Kakashi 7th, someone else 8th, Naruto 9th. Far fetched I know.

The Third Hokage was like 12. The Fourth Hokage wasn't much older than Naruto.
I find it strange to call people who train constantly and win basically every fight they get in "soft". Maybe that's just me. Konoha is strong enough to defend its will of fire. Indeed, that is what the will of fire is. The will to defend Konoha's way of life.
Orochimaru had different thoughts on the matter, and look where it got him. Yup, assholes like Orochimaru like to "make things happen". And Konoha was stronger than him. That is the point of maintaining a strong peaceful military -- to have the ability to defend oneself from attack. Someone stronger than Orochimaru could have fucked Konoha up good. But that's true whether Konoha was attacking or defending.
Consider this scenario: Konoha goes to war against an unknown force. If this was a war of aggression, would Konoha's their ninjas suddenly going to become stronger? No, of course not. So the risk of winning and losing is the same, whether they attack or defend.
At best, they win and are hated. At worst, they LOSE THE WAR, and are in a much worse political position relative to the other countries.
Compare this to the scenario when Konoha doesn't go to war of aggression. At best, nothing at all happens. In the middle (on the bad side), an unknown force attacks. At worst, they LOSE THE WAR and are fucked politically just the same as if they had attacked.
On the other hand, espionage is a much lesser evil, and (relatively speaking) a good thing in this context. I would like to see more of that, from everybody.
Either way a war starts, Konoha has to fight for its life and survival. Wars of aggression unnecessarily leave Konoha open to risk of losing. For basically no gain.
Edit: there is also another concrete reason to dislike Danzou (or even suspect he is Madara). Danzou is using the same training methods that Madara and the Hidden Mist Village use/used -- killing your friend to gain power, a practice Madara instituted in both the Uchiha clan and the Mist.

"After all, I am strangely colored."
Where do you come up with this stuff? O_o
?? He was at least in his early to mid 20's. That's not much older than Naruto to you?
