After this week's episode.. I'm really starting to think if Kishimoto is going for Konohamaru as the next Hokage, instead of Naruto.. And instead maybe Naruto in a bigger position. But I hope he does not make this into Gohan and Goku thing in the Buu Saga, where gohan got on Goku's level easily.. and then it was hard to tell which was stronger.

But this week's episode has me worried. I really do not want Konohamaru to be as strong as Naruto. I don't want the whole Hashirama and Sarutobi , or Goku and Gohan scenario all over.

Yes it was a filler.. But the anime fillers are done by Kishimoto. So yea, how do you guys feel about this?

Kishimoto doesn't write the anime. He's not the one responsible for that abomination of an episode. But I do think Kishimoto is making it obvious that Konohamaru will succeed Naruto as Hokage eventually. How Konohamaru will surpass Naruto I really have no clue though.

Actually He is a VERY big part of the anime.. And he does also help with the fillers. All the writers do... even Kubo and Oda.

Where did you hear this? Everything I have ever heard about the Naruto anime is that Kishimoto is least involved in it than the other writers like Oda or Kubo. Also I seriously don't see Kishimoto writing into a script that the third greatest faction in the naruto world is a handful of sumo wrestlers, among other crazy shit that happened in that episode.

Let me correct you bro. Every anime episode done or anything with the product needs to be approved by the writer, why? because it is his story and his characters. I said Kishimoto is part of the anime, never said he creates the episodes. But the anime also is part of Kishimoto's work. He is "involved" in the anime. Thats what i meant when i said "Done by kishimoto".

I swear if Konohamaru becomes hokage before naruto I will come in the anime and TBB him. First of all there is NO WAY konohamaru will become stronger then naruto cos he's well more retarded then naruto and he is not a sage, jinchuriki with full control of his tailed beast or capable of fighting and defeating multiple kage ranked and higher level ninja. I agree with that kid in the anime who tells konohamaru that he cannot become hokage through connections to his grandfather(the third hokage) cos he needs skill and power to become hokage which he does not have. No one cares that he is the grandson of the third hokage (he's not the only one anyway) he has to stop boasting about it and train like Ebisu told him to do.

But that same kid did say that "Konohamaru is our true leader, brother naruto has nothing on him".

Just a filler U_U in the manga that kishi writes every week he has totally forgotten about konohamaru who was only a support character.

The anime yesterday even contradicted the way Konoha has been going to war lately, the hokage and the kuybi always stayed home, so there were never nothing to fear for them, no idea where anime folks got that idea, though it proves useful now during the 4th war.

naruto will be so old and weak that he can move only one finger but konohamaru will nearly die fighting narutos twitching finger and then he will be hokage.....


idk and idc maybe he will but maybe he wont....but if he does naruto will probably just retire like the 3rd to the 4th....the only part of that abommination i thought was sorta funny is the women beating up sumos with frying pans......but that was it .....that was just an absolutely pathethic filler though.....

The kid had tourettes, he couldn't control what he was saying most of the time or he was under a genjustu. Either way he didn't mean it or believe it. That kind of spontaneous reaction change must be caused from genjustu cos konohamaru has nothing.... on anyone.

It's been foreshadowed since I think Chapter 2 or 3 when they first met that Konohamaru would progress at a rate close to Naruto and they'd compete for the title. Konohamaru now might be at Naruto's level when Jiraya had him away for three years or maybe even after. Alone Naruto couldn't take Kakashi when he got back, but if Konohamaru had a partnet like Naruto he could beat a Jonin.
