I'm fairly new to this website, and I just joined today, but I'm really invested into anything Naruto related. Naruto has become a role-model of sorts for me and I've arrived to be better every day because of him.

Anyway, now that my personal introduction is over, I'd like to introduce my theory.

I've got a lot of different ideas about Naruto but I'm going to tackle this idea first. I personally believe that in order for the world to remain peaceful, like Naruto wants, the whole village system will have to change. I believe that if Naruto manages to defeat Madara, he will experience a revelation of sorts and realize that his dream of being hokage may be a little bit different than what he originally imagined it as.

If both Sasuke and Naruto want to become hokage, and Kishimoto wants Naruto and Sasuke to stay parallel, then the only way for that to happen is for them to work together. This may sound odd, but perhaps there could be multiple hokages. The reason Madara turned evil in the first place was because they placed the power in the hands of one person, not two. I believe that if Madara had become Hokage like the 1st intended, there still would have been some form of conflict. I see this as a recurring theme throughout the series. If you look at Danzo and the 3rd you see that both want to protect the village, but because Danzo isn't the one with power, he seeks to kill the 3rd and take the power for himself. If you go back to the Elder/Younger son problem, when the Sage of the 6 Paths decided to choose the younger son as his successor, he created a conflict with the elder son and ultimately led to this very War. It seems to me that the only way for the world to truly be at peace is for the Leadership System to change. Personally, I believe that by making both Naruto and Sasuke hokages, you allow Naruto to reach his dream, bring Sasuke back to the village, and prevent conflict by picking one or the other.

I've considered Representation as a possible system, but in the end all that does is diminish the power of Naruto and Sasuke. I know for sure that Sasuke would not return to a village that limits his power. I figure Naruto would accept less power in order to promote peace.

As for the possibility of neither of them becoming hokage, the only way I see this happening is if they both die. (Must stay parallel) I don't think Kishimoto plans on killing them both unless he leaves behind some form of descendant for both of them. Konohamaru would be a good choice to represent the Younger Son side, but who would represent the Elder Scroll side? There is no parallel for the future and that would mean Konohamaru would ultimately end up Hokage someday and that too would throw off the balance. (Kishimoto said Konohamaru would be a good Hokage)

He has mentioned that there will be a Naruto / Sasuke fight but he hasn't specified what will be on the line in said fight. I know that Naruto has said that if they fight, they will both die, but Sasuke has since changed and I believe that if they were to "fight for Hokage", they would end up tie-ing somehow and this would lead to the Multi-Hokage theory.

I don't see a situation where only one becomes hokage, and I don't see a situation where neither of them become hokage, so based on this I've decided that they must both "become hokage" whatever that may entail.

Obviously I believe that they will become a "dual-hokage", but I'm open to other possibilities as to how they will settle district bring the power.

The thread name says that this is a theory, but I want this to be a discussion. What do you guys think?
What if they had a Yinkage (Naruto) Yangkage (sasuke) and then all other kages as their advisors

For me, although this is probably not gonna happen, this is how i would like it to. Sasuke becomes Hokage and Naruto doesn't. Naruto instead becomes a wandering sage who just kinda helps spread his ideals and enforces the peace through talking of course but if worse comes to worse I guess fighting but never killing his opponent. Then after several years/decades the leaf village has done something to break the balance (something small that somehow gets escalated into a near war) and ultimately Sasuke opts to take the responsibility to protect his village even though it was a lone ninja or whatever. because the other nations want the leaf punished Naruto must fight Sasuke to keep the peace and ultimately they both die. But the village who was wronged realizes that the fighting didn't really need to happen for something that should have just been forgiven and the leaf ninja who wronged someone asks for forgiveness and he is. ultimately now that the shinobi alliance had been tested it remains standing and the village system is abolished in favor of a fully unified system that uses a central village with the old villages being more like out posts. The central village would be fittingly located where naruto and sauke fought and woulf have a memorial for the two heroes who fought and died for peace.

To me it would sum things up nicely. Naruto can't pick a side because he stands for peace and unity and therefore can't be allied with a single country. Sasuke would be able to make amends and it would represent a change in personality from destroying to protecting. We would get to see all the main characters all grown up with their ninja students and we would see the final fight between Naruto and Sasuke. But the fight would actually stand for peace and not violence/hatred but a love for peace so great that they would sacrifice themselves for it. If written well the symbolism would be clear and would then solve the problem of the wars/hatred because the symbolism should clear in the minds of all the villages especially after seeing the heroes of the 4th war dying for a dumb reason but it actually meaning much more.

I still think the manga will end with Naruto using rasengan and Sasuke with chidori and clashing.
I could definitely see that. An open ending where they clash would leave me a happy camper. I've been real emotional lately when it comes to this series. It's hitting me that after all this time all these characters I love are leaving for good and this has led me to do crazy speculation. If Kishi wants to do a simple ending like that, I'm all for it.

To everyone who is calling Sasukes goal an "asspull" I'd like to remind you that this ninja system ruined many lives and killed many clans (Uchiha, Yuki (Haku), Kimmimaru) and becoming Hokage is a way to simultaneously protect the village while preventing the current catastrophe from ever happening again AND get revenge on Konoha by winning the coup for his father.

I agree completely with the parallels between Naruto,Sasuke and the Sandaime and Danzo.
A realistic ending would probably be Sasuke being Naruto's Danzo, handling the dirty ninja politics part.
Naruto, bless him, is more of the inspiring type to unite the village and stuff.
I wouldn't mind them being both Hokages. My only problem is that it's like Sasuke is not accountable for anything he does. It would be a lot more reasonable for him to return to the Leaf after doing something that gives the Alliance an advantage over Juubidara.

I think you're right. I like the idea of Sasuke having to do something to earn his way back into the village. I also think that Naruto giving one of his "peace" speeches may be enough. He could be like "We saved the ****ing world, and it wouldn't have happened without Sasuke. If we ever want to end this cycle of hate, we need to start now and set an example for the future. That is why we must forgive him for ___ and let him stand beside us, as we look towards the future" Or something like that.

Totally realistic to see the Danzo/3rd relationship, I could easily see it happening. I just hope that Kishi decides that he wants to set the tone for the future by making them equal.

I think that the So6P made the wrong decision by choosing the younger son as his successor. IMO, his mistake was not finding a way for both to work together.

I was feeling this at first, I like that u say naruto will have some revelation about hokage. I think he will too I mean I feel like naruto will be a sage and inherit jiraiyas will and Sasuke could be hokage. I mean I feel like naruto is gonna unify the world tsuchikage said something like that before narutos shadow clone disappeared before the 5 kages fought madara. But I feel like Naruto and Sasuke could be the leaders and the 5 kage be some sort of government figure

I've thought about this as well, but it's not really the power that Naruto seeks. His dream was basically to be Hokage to be acknowledged. Now that he's been acknowledged, his main goal is to bring peace to the world, and he'll do that by any means. While it's certainly a possibility that they become more than just Kage, I don't see that as a goal of Naruto's. I think Naruto will unite the world by demonstrating that people can be forgiven, which is why I think he and Sasuke will share power, or something along those lines.
