theres no option for Lee:|...come on wouldn't it be cool to see the first ever taijutsu only kage?
Out of all of the 9 Rookies, which one do you think would be the best candidate for Hokage? Taking into account all of there skills.
Great analysis of the whole situation, what i can´t believe is that i see Shikamaru being accepted by a lot of people as a candidate(sure his intelligence and judging skills are more than enough) BUT people forget a Kage is always a shinobi of immense power and must be one of the most powerful (if not the most powerful) shinobis in a village...Shikamaru is nowhere near some people found in the Leaf (Kakashi,Naruto,Tsunade,Sasuke wants to give it a go too).
In my opinion the power (ability to protect others and destroy enemies) is even more important than pure intelligence and decision taking, why? Because as a Hikage one can always get advisors to take the best decisions (Shikamaru would fit this role perfectly) this basically means you can be given advise by someone more knowledgeable,wise or intelligent but no one can give you power to become a top Shinobi(It must be natural, acquired by difficult means or trained with extreme discipline).
An example of what i just said is Raikage, he is not too intelligent or wise, in fact he is temperamental and impulsive BUT he is a beast powerwise so he can protect his village and his country, his advisors guide him if required.Bottom line Naruto meets the requirements to be Hokage (Self sacrifice,people look up to him, he is the Leaf´s hero,Extremely powerful and can get helpful advisors, he has been leading the war front lines and protecting the alliance). Kakashi would be the only other possible candidate that would come remotely close to Naruto at this point.
Sasuke is really powerful but the people either don´t know him or fear him, he is still a wanted criminal(regardless of his new intentions).
That´s why i mentioned that power is even more important than being wise or politically skilled (diplomatic relations) and things like that because you can have a number of people help you out in areas you lack ability or in other words advisors(*cough* Shikamaru ) to help them rule as a Kage but if you are not really really strong to protect you village you will not make it far as a Kage and as far as we have seen everyone who has held the title of Kage were really really powerful (being smart/intelligent/wise are great assets for this position but not a requirement like power is (*Cough* Raikage).
