What?! I disagree with 95% of you folks! It's an awesome idea! Sasuke showed up like a boss with one badass calvary! Then announced that not only was he going to protect the village, but has decided that he is going to become hokage! I got that Naruto "tingle" when I read that. I love this manga and trust me, Sasuke is NOT my favorite character. Hated him quietly for awhile but always assumed that in the end he and Naruto would be friends again. It makes perfect sense that he should become Hokage instead of Naruto. Naruto wanted to be hokage for the recognition because as a kid, nobody gave him any attention. He kept up his dream but things changed. If Naruto becomes hokage nothing would change in the ninja world. If Sasuke does, then it's something different but a very big theme in Naruto: FORGIVENESS
He was an avenger.....a sad angry lil prick is also a good description....but now after a history class with the hokages he wants to become the leader and actually make a change in the world.
Makes you wonder if all they teach is fighting at the academy? Seems none of them knew ANYTHING about their history or ancestors after they "graduated"! Lol
