5th Hokage

[HimizujinEternia]

You have to remember, being Hokage is more than just what moves the person knows. What Hokage really means is someone who has mastered the way of the ninja so perfectly that they can lead the village effectively. In fact, the point of the last part of the last arc was to show that a true ninja's strength is not measured in Jutsus, but in how well they protect what is dear to them. The strongest in this category from what we've seen is Naruto, namely due to his fight against Gaara.

However, we must also look at the state Konoha is in right now. They have lost a good deal of Ninjas in the war, and probably need some time to recover. Also, while it has been delayed, it should be obvious that the threat of Orochimaru is no where near gone. The Hokage they choose must be strong enough to hold off such a threat. We have already seen that Kakashi doesn't stand a chance against Orochimaru, and so does no one else in Konoha. The only person that can fight a Sennin like Oro equally is another Sennin. Therefore, from what we've seen, Jiraiya is the best pick for Hokage on this category alone.

Putting the two together, however, it's anyone's guess. Naruto is not nearly old enough or strong enough to effectively lead Konoha in a time of war, and Jiraiya is too much of a skirt chaser.

You absolutely right about going to need another Sennin, but like j00b Jiriaya is to pervy so I think, because no one has ever said shes dead or not but the girl that was partnered up with Orchi and Jiriaya. I cant remember her name but they have mentioned her so I think they plan to bring her into the story. I could be wrong but I think that she would be the best hokage. Jiriaya didn't even really want to get involved with the war or what ever, his strong but not fit to be Hokage. So that only leaves one other person that is strong enough, and its her. Plus its time they get a girl in there as a hokage.

i don't know about that. first of all, the reason that i didn't mention naruto is that he is too young and i figure that the hokage needs to at least be a chuunin at some point. Secondly, i think that the hokage will be somebody who has been seen a lot in the village. If the other women was not in the city to help out, how do we know she is devoted enough to the village...we haven't even seen her yet (i think).

[LostAngel]

only in flashbacks. but if shes still alive and kicking we dont know where shes at so that would be sometype of arc. Naruto, I think he will somehow turn out to be the hokage but right now his to young.

They are going to have to find a 5th soon since the village is so critical and vulnerable so they might choose someone in the village.

Tsunade's her name, I keep forgetting her name lol.

this guy is an idiot.

Yea I agree with LostAngel, Tsunade seem's like the best fit since she's a Sennin so I'm guessing she can hold her own against Oro. Jaraiya seem's like he's gonna split again and work on another novel like he did before. Another person I think it could be, would be Hiashi. I dunno if the Hyuuga main family goes threw the acadamy but he seem's to be Jounin level and seem's to be level's above both Kakashi and Gai.

I have a question and didn't want to make a topic for it. I have a song stuck in my head and I think it's a Naruto opening or ending. The part that's stuck in my head is the begining it start's off with somebody screaming Let's Go and I think the hook is I wanna Rock. Any help on this song would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think the fact that Naruto protects his 2 best friends from Gaara is enough to qualify him as a Hokage. If that's the case just about any person in the series can become one, since most of them want to protect someone.
