wanna make comments
first, naruto does stronger than kakashi. naruto has so many chakra and stamina about 4 times than kakashi. but kakashi is much wiser, smarter , and fight more efficiently than naruto does. kakashi couldn't defeat kakuzu just because he's not strong enough, and so exhausted in stamina for using to much chakra and his sharingan. but the tactic he made to kill 1 of kakuzu's heart is so much brilliant, and he figured out to kill earth element is using electricity. but naruto defeated kakuzu because he has so much power on his shuriken rasengan (or whatever it is), and well yes he did it only on 2 attempts... but that's all he got. can u imagine if there's more akatsukis back there..watching how naruto fight. then he'll be dead of course, since he got no more jutsus. all the tactics he have only kage bunshin and rasengan. and remember, after the shuriken rasengan attack, naruto's body couldn't handle more. unlike naruto, if kakashi had to fight again, he still can use more jutsus. he said if naruto and the reinforcements didn't come, he'll have to use the mangekyou. and tsunade also warn kakashi that naruto mustn't use that rasengan again...or he may die. so what else does naruto have? kakashi has so many tricks to survive...naruto doesn't.
how if naruto vs sasuke? im not sure naruto wil winn, how much stronger he'll be, even how great will of fire he has. all the great shinobi can using many techniques. the 3rd, orochimaru, jiraiya, itachi, sasuke, kakashi, gai, even for lee, neji, and the others. they don't just rely on 1 or 2 jutsus. that's the problem for naruto. he's so easy to predictible now...with only kagebunshin (his kage bunshin aren't strong either) and rasengan. what else does he have? excapt if he can combine the wind and water element, and master the seal..then it would be different story. he'll sure become stronger than ever.
tsunade is strong indeed. remember how she beat the hell of orochimaru while she was mad? even kakashi was so afraid to sweat when he faced orochimaru. so i think tsunade still much stronger than kakashi. she's one of the legendary sannin after all. but yes she focus herself as medicine ninja and doesn't fight much.
tobi is madara. i don't know why does nagato (or pein) get order from madara, since is madara is too old and much weaker. maybe because madara is the one who figure out the masterplan, or because pein acting as he is loyal to madara while he has a plan on his own? riinengan sure does much powerful than sharingan and byakugan.
what i couldn't understand is...madara could easily got naruto for the first time they met...when naruto attacked him from behind and tobi (madara) acting clumsy. he could captured him in that time..but why would he back off? he's still strong with his sharingan...even shino and hinata's byakugan couldn't detect him. then why would he bother himself to ask pein to get the 9 tails?
and there's something we never mentioned in here. about uchiha's past, and the deal between itachi and the 3rd. itachi promised to the elder and the 3rd to wipe out his clan, but konoha must protect sasuke. there's a big conspiracy between the elders, and danzou is get involved with them. we're missing on how sasuke will take revenge on his clan for the elders decision. i'm, pretty sure there's a reason why danzou wants sasuke to die...not just because he's a threat to leaf village, but has something to do with the uchiha and the secret of the past. maybe he's scared that sasuke will comeback for revenge..that's why he put sai in the mission.
mmm....what else?
o yeah. i mentioned this before from the past prediction... i think many great shinobi will die. that includes tsunade too... seems like kishi wanna pass the older generation to the new one..so he erases the great character..starting from the 3rd, orochimaru, jiraiya,...and only tsunade is the one who left (excapt from the elders). but maybe to get rid of her character, the elders and danzou has to die first. and her death will become a great tragedy, so there's still long way to go. but she'll ended up somewhere...with a great honor and a great battle.
yes i don't think naruto is ready now to become the hokage. he still have much fight in front of him which will make him mature. and reveal of his past will make him more "adult", then he'll stp acting childish and short tempered person. remember what he said: "even if i stay a genin forever, i'll become a hokage someday." so maybe he'll has no time to become a chuunin or jounin...he'll past the grade and suddenly become a hokage.
anyway....they're all just my predictions after all...
