room for development

Yeah.. Kakashi seems too docile to be the Hokage and have yet to prove leadership or inspirational qualities. Look at the teamwork in Naruto's team [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

The next Hokage would be Gai. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] J/k

Nevertheless, Kakashi & Gai seems to be the alpha-Jounnins among the Jounnins (like Ibiki, Asuma, Kurenai, or the 3 fathers, or even Anko). Or it's just Kishimoto pays alot of attention on them. There doesn't seem to be another 'legendary' Konoha Jounnin lurking around doing everything that seems to be a better candidate than Kakashi.

We don't know the successer to Tsunade as of yet, but it seems, she would be there for a while IMO.

Maybe the next one would skip a generation and be in between Kakashi and Neji (?).

WOuldn't it be funny if Hinata was married now with kids to someone now, leave Naruto/Sasuke all to Sakura.

so u wanna see some 2 on 1 action eh nine tailed, personally im not into cartoon porn, but whatever floats ur boat

I'm not a huge Kiba fan at all, but I would like to see Akamaru grown up.

Kakashi would make a pretty awesome hokage. As was said before, he has all the jutsus he would need. All he needs now is to overcome what would seem insurmountable odds to prove himself. Kage's probably vary in strenght significantly from time to time and place to place, but Hokages have been pretty impressive at least since the third. So Kakashi proving himself is not a moot point. I'm sure he could be serious enough for the job considering the flaws of the third and the fifth.

The only way I could see Kakashi becoming Hokage would be if he went through another life altering experience changing the way he looks at himself. This would be lame b/c it would change his character which is why Kakashi is so cool.
