The title kage doesn't necessarly means you are stronger than everyone

[Bogard]

I think that the title kage is highly overrated. Someone is not called kage only because of his strenght, but also because of his abilities or capacity of management in a village. Tsunade for example is more suitable to the post than Jiraya or Naruto for example coz with her healing technics she is able to protect the village better than them.

For example, Jiraya or naruto could have done nothing to save other konoha ninjas like Tsunade did against the big Shinra tensei. Her medecine ninja with the help of Katsuyu is very unique.

Of course power is the main point but if you're not really matured, you won't be able to govern the village really well. That's why Naruto is not kage in Tsunades place even if he is stronger than her

Of course in villages like Suna it's really rare to see powerful ninjas. Besides Gaara, they are not that strong, and i can name countless ninjas who come from Konoha or Kumo who can beat them. That's why when you are a kage in a village like Suna it's not that relevant in terms of power

Proof is that Deidara defeated him without too much problems while he was even holding back, and when you know that Deidara is not even one of the strongest in Akatsuki, you must begin to understand that there are possibly a lot of ninjas who are able to beat some kages even if they are nukenin or jounin level ninjas.

I even think that a kage represent the strongest jounin in a village. I mean that from the moment you're a jounin, you can possibly become kage, but it depends on your level or your capacities. Gaara for example was the best choice since his main power is sand and Suna is all over covered by sand, so Gaara could use his full power in theses regions. Gaara was really the best choice if we really take a look of it

The same thing can be said about Mizugakure. Besides from seven swordsmen, we can say that there are not really powerful ninjas there. The seven swordsmen are the main power of Mizugakure even if there are exceptions like Mei. So being a kage in this village doesn't mean you can beat a high class jounin from Konoha or Kumo for example.

Like i've said we've already seen that kages could be defeated by others who are supposed to be weaker. Deidara did it. Orochimaru almost killed Tsunade without arms. Kabuto also. Pain also, etc

So, what do you think?

 

[Sage of Infinity Paths]

S-class ninjas can kill them.
Fourth Kazekage is too weak

 

[-Logic-]

I agree. Itachi is above/Kage level and he didn't need to be a Kage to achieve such power. It wouldn't suit him though, because he's too much of a pacifist, and also, well, he'd kill to many fodders :zonder: :noc:

 

[Champ]

Kage usually meant you were the strongest one in the village but we all now Naruto is the strongest in konoha. Yea deidara did beat Gaara but the sand village isn't that strong

 

[Silent Zetsu]

The other villages are weaker is based in Konoha so obviously all the strongest ones will be there

 

[ahmadmaher]

naruto sasuke itachi j-man kakashi guy tobi madara kabuto all of those character are above the kage level by far

True, strength isn't the only factor in choosing a Kage, but they do need to be exceedingly powerful. Jiraiya was chosen before Tsunade, because he was seen as more powerful. Don't underestimate Tsunade, she is one of the Sannin. Also, the kage of Suna were powerful, especially the 3rd Kazekage. He had a lot of hype. Gaara isn't weak. Deidara was chosen to capture him because he would have an advantage in the fight. All Akatsuki members are S-Rank criminals, meaning Deidara is an extremely powerful ninja.

 

[Smirk]

Good job, i almost thought otherwise

 

[Draegod]

Power is the last thing when picking a kage. I dont know why you guys think it takes the strongest to be so.

Being hokage has nothing to do with power. Its about leading a village, protecting and willing to die for the ones you love (village). It takes knowledge, wisdom, past info, respect from everyone, time, patience, and maturity!

If you have all those, power can be the last thing on the list as long as your willing to die with the will of "fire".

 

[Darth Wignus]

Well the Hidden Mist spent a lot of time killing their own KG ninjas which in the long run only made them weaker. Hidden Sand doesnt seem to be the home of any really strong clans or secret techniques. Which leaves the other 3 villages who seem to have great clans and secret techniques to be so much stronger. The Hidden Leaf is so strong it only had the 9 Tails while everyone else had two tail beast each (besides the Hidden Sand) so its safe to say Hidden Leaf runs shit. They have the greatest numbers of strong ninja and they're ninja over all are of a better quality.

 

[wridacule]

i agree with you having to have good management skills to rule but to say power has nothing to do with it is crazy...you know why there arent many strong ninjas in the sand and water villages? BECAUSE THE MAIN CHARACTER DOESNT LIVE THERE! cmon folks. name five ninja from any village besides konoha that didnt attend the five kage summit..

 

[immortal sage]

agreed in my opinion kakashi>gaara but kakashi isnt a kage.....

seriosly gaara would destroy kakashi

Right for the most part.
@ the bold no. I think we see her regeneration was more than enough to heal the three wounds he made.
+rep anyway

 

[Darth Wignus]

Are you delusional or are you just acting stupid? Gaara is way stronger than what you give him credit for. He defeated his Dad and Second Mizukage in this war. How is that weak? :flaw:

Gaara is the 5th Kazekage fool. Hahaa

 

[snakekill321]

I believe it varies based on village

The leaf: Lineage seems to dictate Kage-ness or intellect. Shikamaru was told he had kage potential xD The 1st hokage was the strongest
the second was related to the first
the 3rd trained under the 2nd
the fourth trained under Jiraya who trained under the 3rd
the 5th Trained under the 3rd and is grandaughter of 1st

Mist: strength all the way
Rock: Strength
Sand: Family lineage? Personally i feel it would be best defense
Cloud: Hard Ass strength
3rd Kazekage had the iron KG
4th had the Gold thingy
Gaara is the "ultimate defense"

 

[BONTUL]

Having the kage title simply means you have the biggest balls in the village.

 

[FloriGlori]

The first time I totally agree with you.

People always use the term 'Kage level'. But what exactly is Kage level? There's such a gap between the power of some Kage. Just compare Hashirama or Minato to any of the current Kage, for instance. Compare Muu to Onoki, compare Nidaime Mizukage to Mei oder Sandaime Raikage to Ae. Now, who of them is a Kage level Shinobi? None, because the term itself is a huge variable.

And there are plenty of non-Kage characters that'd defeat any of the current Kage without too much trouble.

Mei has shown again in this chapter that he sucks. I know countless jounin who could be better. Always trying to giving up U_U

Mei has shown again in this chapter that he sucks. I know countless jounin who could be better. Always trying to giving up U_U

I don't know why she became the mizukage. I don't see her beating any of the akatsuki member aside from hidan and zetsu..

+rep for your effort
