people are saying that kishi made a mistake by drawing Minatos face on the hokage faces mountain.

Imo showing Minato next to Hiruzen means he will become hokage, remember the 3rd was already looking for the next hokage because he was getting too old, well Minato was most likely chosen but not officialy made the hokage yet so his face was carved before he got the hokage title because he was soon to become one anyways.

Good point, poor Kishi getting yelled at he might give us an awesome explaination. Of course he might not but always give them the benefit of the doubt.

What if Hiruzen was like "Nah, I changed my mind on Minato being Hokage. But we already spent thousands on the monument. Destroy it"

Yeah that's true, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, hope he pulls it off perfectly with the next few chapters.

Haha that would be funny

I don't know Timelimes very well in Naruto, but the Third Hokage was still the Hokage as well as the Fourth, infact the 4th was the Hokage for ages while the 3rd was still the Hokage aswell, that could explain the face

This is a picture of the faces right before the mission Obito died on.

It is clearly seen that there is no Minato face.

Yeah I agree that Minato may not have been officially recognized as Hokage, but it could have just been an error that Kishi and the editors overlooked. It's not like Kishi hasn't made mistakes before, he's not perfect and he might have drawn Minato's face on the mountain out of habit. Nothing to make a huge fuss over really.

It's a manga mistake; Kishi made a boo-boo; we all still love him (well, some of us don't, but it's not because of Minato's face. xd)
