Is Shikiamaru strong enough to be Hokage?

[Joseph Gomes]

He's not strong, but he's smart enough. More capable than Nardo

 

[Sageflash]

Not quite, but I think he'll get there in terms of strength in time.

 

[Beans2]

I could see him more as an advisor, like Koharu or Homura or his old man

 

[Mikasa Hagaromo]

Absolutely! Strength and jJutsu aren't everything. Intelligence and tactical creativity counts for a lot. He can be a fine wonderful hokage, as he can maximize the power of the clans in the village with strategy.

I'm currently re-watching the 5 kage arc, and I see that Shikamaru already has influence among his classmates and is willing to make the tough decisions.

Being able to make proper decision is the main job of a Kage. That's why hiruzen is a failure and Shikamaru would be a wonderful hokage. He doesn't need to be strong himself, as he konoha has lots of powerful shinobi in reserve already


If Shikamaru becomes Hokage, Konoha can never be taken down. Nothing gets better than having a genius as a leader

The Hokage is the fist one to defend their village, a kage cannot just sit back and let others fight for them.

 

[Velencia]

he's not necessarily strong enough but he's smart enough

Sasuke can't cower behind Susano'o anymore.

sasuke could fodderize Shikamaru without mangekyou. His sword and fire plus lightning base jutsu's is more than enough.

OT: a fodder can't become hokage thats disrespectful to the legacies of the previous hokages

 

[Magi]

Not even close.. Perhaps wise enough

 

[YONCE]

he's qualified but he's not suited for the position..​

 

[Howling Fox]

no.

Heedan made his shadow jutsu look bad tbh.

 

[Anthony52]

Actually, for he need to be strong? I mean like, isn't the world supposed to come to peace after this war or something?

 

[EVlL]

absolutely not. but his brains is really genius and that would help. his cool head too. hes fit to become hokage's assistance you know

 

[Crepsa]

No, but he's smart..

This^^^, not to mention, he is only 16 or 17 so he still has time to get stronger and and get more experience in the strength department. He already has the mindset so give him 5 - 7 years and he will have the physical capabilities maybe
