Anyone else think this whole Shikamaru Hokage thing is absolute bullsh*t?..

[Naruto hinata]

this is shikamaru we are talking about. He would just decline the position

 

[theacknowledgedone]

He may not become Hokage but I still think he will be as well respected as one. He has really turned into an interesting character since the chuunin exams and he may not be the strongest ninja power wise but his intellect skills make up for it. You can't deny that he went boss mode on Hidan after Asuma died.

 

[Sakura Bunny]

He's not OP enough to be Hokage. :|

 

[scorezor]

i think its kishi's way of trying to tell us anyone could become hokage at this point and that its not just sasuke and naruto up for the position

what this guy said , also , STOP WITH THESE STUPID THREADS LOL -.-

 

[Gyakusetsu]

I just took Temari's comments as a sign of admiration. I'm surprised we haven't seen Shikamari vs Shihomaru shipping threads.

 

[Smd]

He's a great shinobi, he was top 5 of the K12 imo

Sasuke, Naruto, Rock Lee, Neji, Shika (no particular order, settle down Naruto fanboys lol)

But he lacks certain credentials that allow him to be Hokage in my opinion.

1.Determination/Commitment
Shikamaru is the laziest person in the Narutoverse, he get's serious when the time is needed for it. But the position of Hokage means hard work in so many different ways. (Paper work, meeting with other villages, making sure that your village is civilized and undercontrol-something Tobirama exceled in to me) Something I feel isn't fit for Shikamaru's personality the same way it wasn't fit for Jiraiya.

Spoiler

Itachi's quote kinda relates to the situation, so unless Shikamaru dies and gets edo tensei'd or rinnei tensei'd than NO

2.Power
Let's be real, Shikamaru is extremely smart but in a world of Susano'os, Bijuu Dama's, Kamui's, Mokutons, his power level is pretty low. Being smart can only get you so far as a shinobi because Shika can't beat Naruto, Sasuke, Nagato, Madara, Obito, Hashirama, Kakashi, Guy, Lee, etc. and he's arguably smarter than all of them. Notice I didn't put Minato, Itachi, or Tobimara because I don't believe he's smarter than them. But anyways picture another Pain like invasion, Naruto could go Bijuu mode and easily provide Kyuubi chakra to the entire village while protecting them (something very desirable in a Kage) but Shikamaru would waste time strategizing against an opponent that is WAY beyond his power level. We all saw how Shikaku's "Master Plan" worked out against the Juubi. Such EPIC fail. Hell when it comes to power Sasuke is way more fit for Hokage. The only things stopping Sasuke is his selfishness, attitude, and criminal background. Shikamaru has always been a little overrated imo.

All these threads stating that Shikamaru is more fit for Hokage than Naruto (the very ninja that saved Konoha from Pain, and the same ninja that pretty much saved that war for the shinobi alliance) are very disrespectful. Just stop, stop it.

please.

temerai words= fodder words

 

[Awkward Linguist]

Yes, it's bullsh>t.

 

[Lilvic92]

please.

temerai words= fodder words

Yeah I know but I guess fodder are taken seriously now.

 

[KASTAWAY]

Shikamaru will only be trusted adviser to the hokage, just as his father was. His knowledge and smarts are an asset to the village but leadership and faith are what he lacks. He will be what naruto needs to govern not lead and change the world/village. I think all the talk in the current chapter is only character development. If you see who he is talking to its to ninja that are unsure of themselves. All he is saying is just wait are time will come and we must be ready.

 

[Sidpat]

Shikamaru will not be hokage but he is going to be stratergy person , if naruto becomes hokage shikamaru his right hand , bcoz shikamaru already mentioned in pain arc that naruto makes him want to follow him , so kind like going to be brain of naruto.

 

[H a n]

He would be a decent hokage if he had more power ups.. When it come down to it, he need to be good enough to defeat horrible threats against the village but other then that, he will protect the village with every fiber of his body.

 

[thegame]

Well, Shikamaru is - by far - the best suited for becoming hokage of any person in Konoha, however, as you say he is lazy etc., and doesn't want to be hokage. He will, however, be the most important person for the hokage, just like his father was for Tsunade.

 

[Oriver]

Maybe he's trying to set him up as the hokage's advisor or representative.

Agreed
but that said.

The Third was know because of his 1000 Jutsu
Not because of his Ungodly might.
Where has the Third shown great Chakra reserves?

ORiver

 

[Cooh]

I think he would be better of as the main strategic advisor for the Hokage, he lacks power to represent the leafs strength, so he's not really Hokage material imho.

 

[Liath]

he'd prolly end up being one of the elder council, or advisor or some sh*t. kakashi, though, would make a great hokage if he survives

 

[Sharingan user]

To be a hokage you need power, and Shikimaru doesn't have that.

Check out this for example:
Hashiram 1st Hokage power level 100
Tobimara 2nd Hokage power level 90
Sarutobi 3rd Hokage power level 80
Minato 4th Hokage power level 70
Tsunade 5th Hokage power level 60
Shikimaru 6th Hokage power level -80

See what I did there?

 

[Naijakid]

Naruto is definitely gonna be hokage

 

[AC3]

Guys Guys take a chill pill, Shikamaru is only 16 years old LOL so is Naruto and Sasuke, none of them have the experience to be Hokage. I don't care how many wars they have been in, so let's all just stop with these threads for now and stay in the here and now.

 

[take it easy]

Shikamaru will not be hokage but he is going to be stratergy person , if naruto becomes hokage shikamaru his right hand , bcoz shikamaru already mentioned in pain arc that naruto makes him want to follow him , so kind like going to be brain of naruto.

so naruto not have brains?

 

[Piratefish]

so naruto not have brains?

Yeah, pretty much.
