[Discussion] After War Roles

[ThePooka]

The war is ending soon, and Kishimoto has pretty much confirmed a part 3 will be happening. The only thing that Kishimoto hasn't gone into detail over are the future roles of the characters.

The new Naruto movie has been described as a bridge to the new era which means that it will be a time skip after the war. The short preview has shown Naruto looking like the Hokage, but it hasn't shown his sidekick Sasuke.

The speculation is that Sasuke died during the war and that is why his name hasn't been mentioned in regards to the new Naruto movie. The issue now is what will the roles for the side characters become since it's pretty much guaranteed that Naruto is the Hokage.

Sasuke

His absence from the new Naruto movie confirms that a previous spoiler was in fact true and Kishimoto did kill off a team 7 member. I suspect that a short memorial will probably be shown in the new Naruto movie. The rumor going around is that Naruto will build Sasuke a modest statue near a bench by some house.

Sakura

Will probably stay single and buy a lot of cats. She might take over as the main medical ninja.

Hinata

Will definitely marry Naruto.

Kakashi

Will be Naruto's adviser and assistant. He might become Naruto's new sidekick.

Madara

His legs will become the new police force for the hidden leaf.


I won't take the time to make a complete list but please discuss and add to the list i made.

 

[I'm stupid real stupid]

I hope Kishi starts introducing new characters...

I hope Kishi starts introducing new characters...

He has to or a part 3 would be impossible. Kishimoto couldn't make a part 3 without new villains since no one would be strong enough to challenge Naruto.

My list (and ye it's quite long):

Spoiler

Naruto - unlike popular belief he is STILL NOT Hokage. Tsunade still holds the title, although she has decided to pass it on to Naruto in the future. He is going on a trip to recreate his clan (similar to Sasuke) and upon his return will probably be named Hokage.

Sasuke - After his profound fight with Naruto, in which he lost due to plot no jutsu, he has re-established the Uchiha District in Konoha. He still distance himself from everyone else and most people dare not enter his domain. Sakura visits him from time to time and brings him some food. He is alone and has still not started on reviving his clan. He may/may not still harbor feelings of hatred towards the Village but the fact that Naruto is still active prevents him from taking action.

Sakura - She has advanced her medical skills and is now the Top medical ninja among the 5 Great Shinobi Countries. She is often absent from the village, healing and/or consulting. When she is in the village, she tends to visit Sasuke from time to time as well as spend time with Tsunade, further developing her skills.

Kakashi - Although having lost his Sharingan, he is still considered one of the top Jounin in Konoha. He is working in covert-op missions, mostly spying. In his spare time, he reads his favorite novels (written by the late Jiraiya) hang out on trees and having regular duels (although on a slower pace) with his eternal rival Gai.

Tsunade - She is still acting Hokage of Konoha. She deals with the formal documentation and distribution of missions, as well as assigning, promoting and delegating shinobi. She is also still the Head of Medicine in Konoha.

Shikamaru - He has established his own Konoha Intelligence Division (KID) with the purpose of acquiring and decoding information. Even in peace times it is vital to have a strong strategical and intelligence stability. He is also a "father figure" to Kurenai's child and often spends time with them.

Ino - She works alongside Shikamaru in the "Konoha Intelligence Division" as Information Extractor. She has also acquired her parent's flower shop. She sends constantly flowers to Sasuke, which get returned almost immediately.

Choji - He is a Jonin class Shinobi in Konoha. Not much is shown about his post-war life other than he enjoys food with his former teammates on a regular absis.

Shino - He is absent from the village, on a mission to find a new species of insects.

Kiba - Part of Konoha's Rapid Responce Squad, he often undergoes urgent mail delivery to foreign nations and package distribution.

Hinata - Having advanced her Gentle Fist skill to the highest level since Neji, she has now opened the Hyuuga Mansion to the villagers and is training willing volunteers in the arts of Taijutsu, Gentle Fist and Physical Endurance. She still loves Naruto deeply and is considering offering herself to Naruto after he becomes Hokage.

Ten-Ten - Not much is shown about her other than the fact she often trains with her arsenal of weapons and scrolls.

Rock Lee - Considered the top Taijutsu user in Konoha, he helps Hinata train the willing volunteers in the arts of Taijutsu and Physical Endurance. His training also includes "Youth Power" and he inspires his students to never give up.

Maito Gai - Although having survived the 8 Gates, thanks to Naruto, he is now physically incapable of carrying out a shinobi's duty. He is working as an instructor in the Academy, teaching the new Generation. He also assigns the new Genin, as well as observing the Chuunin Exams. He still has an active and passionate feud with Kakashi, which consists of "Rock, Paper, Scissors", one-hand push-ups and "Guess The Name Of.." games.

Non-Konoha characters:

Gaara - Still acting Kazekage, he is ever so vigilant and protective of his village.

A - Still acting Raikage, he is ever so thick-headed and jumps on the slightest of events. He is, however, secretly breaching the post-war treaty and is amassing an arsenal of weapons, jutsus and other objects of power he believes will "give him an edge" when the time comes.

Killer B - He has left his village and is going on a Rap Tour around the Shinobi World. Having little to no revenue, he performs at birthday parties, funerals and restaurant openings.

Onoki - After the war, he passed down his title and retired. Shortly thereafter he passed away. He has a memorial stone in the center of the Village.

Mei - Still acting Mizukage, she has but one goal - to be married and live peacefully. Her duties as Mizukage, however, prevent that from happening.

Orochimaru - After the war he continued his quest for jutsus and eternal life, although he has came into agreement with Konoha to cease hostilities not only to the village, but to all innocent people. He has gone off-radar as of late and thus has caused some worrying amongst Konoha's higher ups. He still poses a threat to the Shinobi World.

Kabuto - Not much is known about his post-war life other than the fact he is a wanted criminal in all 5 Great Shinobi Nations. Like Orochimaru, he has gone into hiding.
