I think the point is moot...almost.
This is the Sasuke-Itachi thread.
Naruto is more mature, now, than he was before. He is learning to control his anger and repress the Kyuubi. Naruto is also much better of a tactician than he was before. He was able to break through that one guys defenses and destroy two hearts at once. Kakashi thought that that was the shit. Remember?
Like I said before, Sasuke would be a great Hokage...if he could tear himself away from cutting himself.
@Kandy - When Naruto said that there was no guarantee they would be let go Sasuke got the surprised look on his face and also when Orochimaru says Naruto was correct. Doesn't seem like he thought of the possibility that Oro would kill them anyway and just thought if he gave the scroll up Oro would leave.
Yea I think pretty much everybody agrees Sasuke has the makings of a good Hokage. I think the dispute really went from who would be a better Hokage Naruto or Sasuke.
Fighting and completing missions that are probably most of the time pointless compared to Hokage, and only need one person isn't exactly smart. If he did then his enemies would know that would be the perfect time to attack because the Hokage is gone, and Hokage is suppose to be the strongest in the village. Naruto would have more important things to do anyway that is one of the reasons I think he needs to just mature a little bit more because as he is now paper work and all that wouldn't really work for him. Not that it works for Tsunade either usually.

Nine. (pun intended, bitches.)
The Hokage/kage is supposed to be the best equipped to be the Kage of his/her respective village. It includes various abilities...not just combat.
In Gaara's case, he IS the strongest. Tsunade is not the strongest.

@Kandy - Yea I do agree Sasuke would probably handle the paper work part better. It's the caring, and inspiring and making people think he's there for them that I have trouble seeing in Sasuke. Like I said what Sasuke lacks Naruto has and vice versa. Sasuke would be a smarter leader while Naruto would be a more caring leader. So they both have their certain aspects it's just more opinion on which you think is the better aspect.

No she is not. I wouldn't even give her the "strongest" on brute strength either.
I would say that she is probably the best medical ninja in the world, though.

I agree. Well put.
She's part of the Legendary Three Ninja who are considered the strongest under Hokage. She might be the weakest of them but that's still higher than anybody. They wanted Jiraiya to rule because he was so powerful and Tsunade isn't that far behind. I think Tsunade is probably one of the slowest people though if she can amp her strength so much I don't see why she couldn't amp her speed the same way like Butterfly Chouji did. After seeing what Sakura can do I wouldn't put it past that Tsunade is also the strongest physically since she's better at it than Sakura. There really isn't anything to suggest Tsunade doesn't have the biggest chakra reserve barring Naruto. I do think there are people with better fighting skills and that are a whole lot smarter than her in the village though.

But I have to say, guys like the 3rd and 4th hokage who are caring AND geniuses seem to be severally lacking.
Originally posted by King KandyThat's why I said Sasuke has the skills and not Naruto.
Well that would be true, but like I said earlier it's not just Sasuke's intelligence but also his ability to make decisions under stress and his utilitarian way of thinking. Also this is an entirely different debate but he seems like the better Shinobi at the moment as well.But I have to say, guys like the 3rd and 4th hokage who are caring AND geniuses seem to be severally lacking.
True but I guess it doesn't really take a either to be Hokage. Jiraiya certainly wasn't either and Tsunade can only be considered a genius in Medical Ninjutsu.
