nahh I don't think so.....I mean then the whole time Naruto saying: "I will become Hokage someday" would be pretty pointless....I mean Naruto is not that intelligent...the reason why he surpasses everyone is because of his chakra and the abilities he has: Sage Mode, BM, KCM, various Rasengan-Styles....these abilities make him the strongest in the leaf village.....but as we all know naruto lacks in intelligence haha.......so without "chakra" Naruto would never become Hokage....because in intelligence shikamaru and kakashi are in their own league...and would deserve becoming Hokage....
