Kakashi/Sakura = Hokage?

With the similarities between characters, ie Jiraiya = Naruto and Oro = Sasuke, one could argue that Sakura could be similar to Tsunade eventually. In that same line of thought, the 3rd taught the Sanins, so Kakashi could arguably be similar to the 3rd. They both know a lot of Jutsu.

Could this mean that Kakashi may become Hokage someday? And a scarier thought, could Sakura be asked to become Hokage someday, just like Tsunade, if indeed she will be similar to Tsunade??? That would be scary.... so wrong....

you said it.

Really doubt that either would happen

Following that logic, it would mean that Naruto would have to give up his dream of becoming Hokage (not likely) and turn down an offer to take the possition (even moreso, not likely). AND it would mean the Kakashi would end up dying fighting Sasuke, leaving Naruto to go out in search of Sakura to get her to be Hokage with some punk kid who wants to be Hokage someday. What you're basically saying here is that Konoha is stuck in some nasty generational time loop where this nasty cycles gets repeated every few decades. This is a ninja action/drama manga/anime, not Star Trek or Bill & Ted (no evil future robot us-es). So don't worry, While Kakashi becoming hokage is kinda a cool thought, you don't have to wory about Sakura taking up the role. Naruto will claim it.

Now I'm not denying the similarities in personality, but they DO differentiate and will most likely not follow the same paths as their adult predecessors.

Though the idea of Kakashi being Hokage is kind of cool, I don't think at his current skill level that he would have been a good choice to be the 5th. Maybe later on when he becomes stronger. He was owned by Itachi just now, so I would think that other hidden villages would attack Konaho if he was Hokage now. It just doesn't make sense if Kishimoto made Kakashi Hokage at this point in time. Maybe in the future...

Naruto most likely will claim it, but there is a possibility that he might eventually turn it down, too, for some reason in the future.

Basically all the teams are structured the same. 2 guys and 1 chick. Neji's team is especially like naruto's team too. Neji is the hotshot skilled one like Sasuke. Rock is the hard working not so skilled like Naruto. And ten-ten is the girl. The other two rookie teams don't fit the mould as well but they still have the 2 guys and a chick format. Even the 3rds old team is 2 guys and a chick.

I agree it would be a nift turn if Kakashi became the fifth/sixth. But with all honesty I HIGHLY doubt he fits the characteristics of a hokage. First off, most outstandingly is...He's not strong enough from what I've seen. Do you honestly think he could have stood his ground against Orochimaru like the 3rd did? Really doubtfull, while his intentions are good and all he would most likely have been decimated. Sharingan and all it's not perfect for him. He can't even handle Itachi. Second, I can't exactly see a lonewolf style of character like Kakashi leading all of Konoha, a small team of genin is something different altogether...Uhm..I think I had more...but....*real loud brain fart* yep....there it was...gone..

weird and funny theories...

Although I completley disagree with your theory, whoever argued against it and said Naruto would never turn down the chance to be a Hokage I also disagree with. It seems very possible to me that in the future Naruto will find something (or someone) more important to him than being Hokage as he matures, initially his dream was not to protect everyone but to be the most powerful/to be recognised. Even a tragic ending could fit in with the Naruto story line but the anime ending is far too far away to hypothesis as of yet.

Oooh, He can't even handle Itachi...

Iunno what you've been watching... but Itachi is the strongest character released, he is stronger then both Oro and the 3rd.

Kakashi is one of the strongest characters in the Manga... we just don't see him fighting weaker characters to prove his strenght... he is always facing elite ninja, like Itachi, Zabuza, etc.

Being Hokage doesn't involve all strenght. It involves more knowledge, strategy, etc., after Tsunade, Kakashi at this current point is the next runner up. Jiraiya won't take it.

Back on topic. Although we all think Sakura will be taught by Tsunade, I doubt she will ever become Hokage.

Kale Ironfist - Yeah, how do you know that? That would've been interesting.

thank you coolman for putting things into perspective...if you didnt do i would have

hey! gai's a good candiate for hokage! he beat kakashi more times in their rivalry duels!...ok...just kidding

Personally... I think Kakashi > Gai... cause by now... he has copied all of Kai's Taijustu, and must've developed some defense vrs the Lotus moves, esp since we know he has seen both at least once (Lee).

But think about it.. of all the Leaf Jounin released so far (no missing-nins or any of that like Itachi) Kakashi is the strongest. Gai comes close... but Sharigan is deadly.

BTW, whole thing about Naruto turning down Hokage... now that you bring it up... I can see it happening, although I doubt it will. Although it won't happen unless its something huge... When he matures... he will have to either get the title of Hokage... or stop some other impending doom.

do you think the anime will go that far?

i always figured it would end before naruto got old enough to become hokage

If it doesn't end with Naruto becoming the Hokage, I'll cry. That would be a bad ending. Cuz it's the whole point of the story...Naruto becoming strong so he can become the Hokage.

Personally, I think that Naruto turning down the Hokage will be an very nice thing to happen in the series.
IMO, it'll show major growth in the character of Naruto that he has grown past needing to be Hokage to be happy.
Like, he has found something else in life, or, he just kinda takes up a life like Jiriya or something, but still, Naruto turing it down would be like one of those cliffhanger episodes, if not the last, of the series.

Yeah right. Like naruto would ever turn down being hokage its his dream and hes very serious about. Besides its true that he said that hes been aknowledge by his friends he wants everyone to aknowledge him.

Seriously, I mean, it's like saying you want to grow up to be the President.
As a kid, you see it as the powerful person that everyone respects and looks up to and aknowledges.
I think Naruto will realize that it isn't exactly all that it is what he is looking for, or he'll find a different path along the series way.
It's just a theroy of mine, I would still love to see Naruto as Hokage, it just seems, I dunno, to nicely packaged if he DOES become the Hokage, ya know?
