that might be true. But what about his powers? He doesn't have one now...

Being a Kage isn't about power. Its about leadership skills and someone the whole village respects. If it was base on power only then the shinobi system would a dictatorship where the weak will step down and only the strongest would be the leader.

I'll make a thread about you when kakashi gets DMS again in the last chapter

and what will you say about me? (keep in mind that I'm not against the fact that Kakashi is Hokage) The only reason I started the thread was to know your opinion :)

I believe Shikamaru could have been hokage, he's the perfect representation for his generation. If he was to put aside his laziness it would have been a huge character development for him.

And I already pointed that plan was horrible and only worked because Kishi nerfed Kaguya.

The plan worked, Thus is wasn't Horrible.

Sage stated it was a good leadership feat by Kakashi, This > Your Opinion.

Hagoromo had indirectly acknowledge Kakashi as a Leader
Although not fully appointed, but only second away, then Gai inform that Tsunade was alive.
Leader of Jounin and most Jounin will accept Kakashi as the 6th Hokage (one of the criteria).
Naruto has something to do and no time to take the Hokage title yet.
Of course, many other ninja will be pleased to see Naruto in person.
The "Last Movie.." will show Naruto doing something that need him to do.
Then Naruto will be appointed as 7th Hokage at the end of the movie.

Yes, but logically it shouldn't have worked. It needed plot holes to works.

It's not an opinion, but a fact. Team 7 was the only dysfunctional team back in part 1. The Sage doesn't know what he is talking about.

His leadership sucks.

No powers?

We are talking about a Shinobi who copied a thousand Jutsu.

Besides, Hokage needs a Leadership skills more than power to kill. He will just be seating there anyway, why would he need a rinnegan.

Because he is a useless without the Sharingan so Kishi decided to give him a new job.

Arguably the most important one.

Do people actually take you seriously? I applaud your trolling skills.

It's easy, beacause Kishi wanted a part 3, and therefore Naruto still has to have a goal to strive towards. And to all of you saying it's beacause Naruto is not mature enough etc, what about Gaara? Don't be naive, it's marketing from Kishi.

Maturity and Experience .​

This. And he is still hands down one of the most powerful ninja in the series. Not everyone is a demigod like Naruto and Sasuke.

So he has no worries. He still has his 1000+ jutsu to fall back on and his higher chakra levels. No more sharingan strain
