Well, first things first:

This will be a long post, and I hope to be able to speak to minority of users around here who are actually not 10 years old fanboys. I want to DISCUSS things out, so I wouldn't mind if you all kept your flame to yourselves.

I can't even describe how much I just don't care about Naru-Hina-Suke-Crap-Saku-Ino-Jiraya, and as always I also don't care how many facts you want to come up with why Itachi is stronger than Minato or the other way around.
I really like it's Kishi's story, and I'd like to talk about one particular thing mentioned in this weeks (IMO great) chapter with the people, that don't delude theirselves because they're not satisfied with anything.
So all I'm gonna say about that crap would be:

Wether or not one is stronger than another you can barely tell because, considering most people didn't fight each other. I'm not talking about obvious things like the fact, that you don't need to have Temari fighting Madara to know who'd win. Hell, we don't even know how strong Kakashi is and where he'd be in an official ranking, so why not just quiet up about this and stop trying to let fictional characters acting for your own ego.


SOOOO now that we've gone through this, let's get back to the topic:

What if Naruto does NOT become the Hokage?

I've seen most people have almost ignored Sasuke's objective to become Hokage, saying it's completely random.
Personally, I think it's the most reasonable decision he has EVER made in the entire series. It's the first time he actually makes sense. It's the only way to change the System without destroying what his brother was trying to protect with his life.
Also, this decision is what makes another Naruto vs Sasuke in the valley actually possible. I've been kind of dissapointed with Sasuke's decision at first, to rejoin the leaf so "easily" after he was even so determined to kill his friends (and was even on the verge of murdering Sakura) but it seems as if he really put some DECENT thought into this.

And now the big "problem": Will Naruto be Hokage at the end?
Most of you will now probably say "Sure...this is the point of the whole Manga, isn't it?"
Well, I'm pretty sure, even though most of you think this is true, most of you are fearing that in the end he won't be Hokage, right?
Well, to be honest: I even think this is exactly what will happen. I think it is highly possible that Naruto won't be Hokage in the end, and I even think it would make a GOOD ENDING?
No, I am NOT a Sasuke Fanboy (you could have guessed it from what I said about him earlier). My point lies in what Itachi said:
"It's not that the one who becomes Hokage will be acknowledged by everyone. It's the one acknowledged by everyone who becomes Hokage."
So, that seems like a major backfire on my prediction, right? Now, let me explain:
What Naruto has been trying to achieve was to be acknowledged by everyone, which is why he wanted to become Hokage. He did not want to change, or rule, or anything, he just wanted to be acknowledged.
And we all can agree on the fact that he pretty much achieved that one already, right?
Saying that, I think that Naruto recognizing that he already achieved this goal, without him needing to become Hokage anymore would be a sign of a MAJOR character development and growth of his side. And with that, that little fictional character has already grown and developed more than most people here on Narutobase that denying the possibility of him NOT becoming Hokage.

Obviosuly, I won't judge anyone if he does end up as Hokage. Naruto is not my story, and I (unlike many other people as it seems) can enjoy it. Seriously, in the chapter discussions, sometimes it seems like some people LIVE in the Universe and don't want anything in "their world" changed.
(Aren't there enough crappy RPGs for that?)

Well, what do you think about Sasuke becoming Hokage and Naruto "giving up" on his dream?

But if naruto doesnt become Hokage, then f*ck the name i hold as a member here.

youre right, it would be pretty epic if he stood aside and let sasuke become hokage. realizing his new dream, helping his friend to realize theirs.

The reason he wants to become Hokage has changed, it used to be because he wanted acknowledgment but now its because he wants to protect his friends and bring peace.

Plus it would be weird, considering how many times he said he would be Hokage, and with Tsunade, Chiyo, and Nagato all thinking he will.

I don't think so. It's an interesting view. However, let's not forget that Naruto is now the "child of prophesy." He's the one who will either save and create peace int the ninja world or destroy it. He'll have to be in a position of power for this to happen.

Now, if a new position is created that's above kage or can affect the 5 great nations, I can see Naruto having that position and Sasuke becoming hokage.

ive been contemplating this as well danrock.
its entirely possible that naruto doesnt become hokage. it would complete the cycle if sasuke were to become hokage.
but i dont think naruto will 'lose' the fight, i think that he will end his life somehow for the benefit of the village and ninja world, to complete the circle of hatred, to end it, to become the savior he was foretold to be.
however, it is disappointing to think that naruto has worked so hard to become the hokage and to see him fail is like a slap to the face of the premise of the manga. however it shows that naruto 'giving up' on becoming hokage is a big transformation characterwise.

Which basically goes against the entire concept of his character which is all about never giving up.

It would defeat the purpose of the story. But I do see what you're saying though. Let's face it he and Naruto are the only ones that have the power to protect them.

Interesting well thought out opinion. Yeah I think it shows Naruto's maturity if he lets Sasuke be hokage. He is already showing signs of development when he didn't scream like a fangirl when Sasuke turned up ;) Personally, I think that Naruto will invent a new system rather than the 4 villages. All the villages are already working together, so it shouldn't be that difficult. For example, Aang creating republic city (Legend of Korra) is similar to what I am thinking (have a city where people independent of village and status can live). He doesn't necessarily have to be it's leader but I think by creating it he is in part fulfilling his prophecy. As for Sasuke being hokage...I think that he could become acknowledged by everyone after what he does in the war. However I'm not sure what kind of changes he would bring about.

Anyway sorry for long comment..but it is an interesting thread :)

read it all, and i think to sasuke will be Hokage, because if he don´t then he will turn evil again(like madara) and it will be the same history with hashi and madara.
