There is no confirmation of that, not that it would surprise me since Kishimoto torpedoed his manga a long time ago. Anything to make a buck I guess, even if that's means stringing readers along for years on end under false pretences. Reminds me of HIMYM, though at least Ted got the girl before they killed her off so he could end up with Robin.

Let Kakashi have his moment. The only department he's lacking in is power, but, supposedly, after the war the Ninja world will unite... or whatever Sasuke changes. There'd be no need for him to personally fight. The Kage title will be merely a hold a political value, instead of a military leader and a main battle asset.

That's what i assume, at least.

The vast majority of Naruto readers are Naruto fans.

On recent popularity polls, I remember Naruto being #2 as most popular.

Also, even some Naruto fans admitted to Kakashi being a better candidate, so it has no real grounds what character you are a fan of.

Looked it up, and on the most recent polls, Kakashi was the most popular lol the irony

I honestly don't see why he shouldn't be Hokage. The only thing he lacks is power, and still, he isn't that weak as other points out. Who's stronger than him? Naruto, Tsunade, Gai? Next? He can also become stronger in the timeskip, ya know. He is the most probable candidate in this manga, since everyone knows him, admires him and so on. Shikamaru is lazy, Naruto isn't that liked by the hypocritical elders and daymios too probably (and he isn't the desk type, atleast not in the manga. Maybe he actually matured in the film), K10 aren't the brightest side of the bulb, Sasuke is a rogue ninja, Tsunade for some reasons abandoned the role... seriously, who should be Hokage bar Kakashi?

Sasuke becoming Hokage? Really? What world do you live in where this is at the least bit realistic?
And then you put in Sakura? Hell, I'd rather have Madara be Hokage.
Kakashi is a better candidate for Hokage than Sakura could ever be. You say this isn't a hate thread, when it's blatantly obvious.

Sakura trumps current Kakashi in every way imaginable. Kakashi is chunin exam tier now that he lost his uchiha welfare.

My point was that the vast majority of Naruto readers are fans of the character, not that he is necessarily their favourite.

The most recent character poll I've found lists the following top 3
Naruto Uzumaki - 9,889 votes
Sasuke Uchiha - 8,099 votes
Kakashi Hatake - 7,568 votes

That's the 10th character poll following chapter 584.

Even if Naruto isn't your favourite character (which is a common trend with most MC across every medium of entertainment), you are still likely to be a fan, so you're likely to have the expectation that he fulfils his dreams when the manga ends. That isn't happening because there's money to be made off the films.

It made sense for Kakashi to become Hokage back then. It doesn't make sense now when he's been left far behind by his students, especially Naruto who has played a huge role in uniting the shinobi world.
So what? Not ever one is no Naruto's and Sasuke's level, so i don't see what that has to do with anything.

Irrelevant to being Hokage. Sasuke isn't becoming Hokage because of power. Like I said, it is absolutely unrealistic to even think Sasuke will be accepted back.

He hasn't been left far behind at all. He's one of the people who saved the world, and they couldnt have done it, and I quote, without "his Godly leadership".

All the prerequisites that are really required to become Hokage, Naruto already meets. It's been his dream to be Hokage. It's what he's been striving for. What can Kakashi offer that he can't? Kakashi sure as hell can't offer the unity and change Naruto can.

No. Naruto's dream was to be acknowledged by everyone in the Village, and he saw Hokage as the way achieve this.

No, become Hokage was definitely his dream. Even after being acknowledged by the village, he's been saying it's his dream to become Hokage.

You misquote, and Hagoromo had more positive things to say of Naruto than Kakashi. Try harder.

I didn't want to quote the entire thing, but here goes

Hagoromo: You've done a great job leading the rest of them and sealing mother. So this is what God's miracles look like.

In the Viz scans, he says something more specific about his leadership, but the godly part still remains.

Try harder at what? Naruto can still become Hokage for all I care. Don't even know why you're so salty about it. Just because it happens like ten years later you suddenly get mad?
