>>282699224
Yes, and it's not even close. She's got nothing special to actually help her stand among her peers.
Best healer?
Regeneration?
Crazy physical strength?
Those don't actually protect the village against people with bullshit tricks and loads of techniques.
>Hashirama
Unique wood style with nigh-infinite applications, ability to seal and control tailed beasts, also had crazy strength and even better regeneration
>Tobirama
Invented a bunch of techniques like Shadow Clone Jutsu, Raijin and tricks utilizing it, Edo Tensei, great water style user, overall very crafty
>Hiruzen
Insane chakra levels in his prime, loads of techniques both general and esoteric, incredibly skilled in close combat even in his old age, unique summon with a bunch of useful skills of his own
>Minato
Invented the Rasengan, perfected Raijin, good sealing skills, insane melee combatant, fastest man on the planet
If there's one thing I can give Tsunade, it's that Katsuyu is a great summon that didn't get enough play.

Sakura seems to be more qualified to be a hokage then he is but hell that would just make the village even weaker.
>>
>>282701860
I would say Kakashi but that wouldn't change anything as far colluding with Boruto...even under omnipotence, Kakashi would trust Shikamarus instincts and intellect...so if it's kakashi and some reason he doesn't believe Shikamaru then that's just silly...
>>

Sakura could easily be Hokage would line up with Kishimoto’s writing style with a 2nd Tsunade

>>
>>282702107
I kind of like the idea of modern Kages being more like generals thsn super soldiers. Yeah on one hand its not a good look for the village to have a Kage that other villages high level jonin could likely wipe the floor with, but on the other hand its never made a whole lot of sense to chain the village super soldier to a desk and have him argue tax policy with the village elders all day. If the new system is to have a decently strong jonin level fighter who can also do diplomacy and policy setting as Kage while the village super soldier just kinds hangs out and dies the occasional SSS rank mission, it’d be better than the old system

Kakashi is nowhere to be seen or even mentioned in the Boruto manga, you'd think that he actually died off screen with how he's treated.

>>282703574
Boruto is too PUSSY to kill off the old characters, so they are just alakazamed into the void
>>
>>282703693
I know he popped up in the anime when I tried watching it for a bit, and I heard they pilfered bits of the filler to make canon in the manga, so presumably he should be alive. I would assume he's going to never appear or have one big ENTER moment before jobbing horribly a bit after. Probably if they want to bump sales or something.

yeah, I'm in the minority apparently for really liking the character designs of the new gen. i think a lot of the hate comes from the modernization and the really poor quality animation of the first portion of the show. plus the manga has really bad pacing and off-screens too much, but reading along w the daily naruto chapters it's striking how limited that also was. I'm hoping that the break the show took will improve the quality and fill out the source material

given he wasn't there for her first lime 12yrs of life, i think it was a fair decision. shoulda had another when he started coming back tho, wasn't too late

>>282708062
biggest thing is that she's gotta get EMS somehow, and he's the only way. and it'll give her another level up w rinne, and him dying of rinne rebirth would be a fitting end for his character arc, dying for the future hokage and saving his clan. there's no reason to believe it, i just think most other ways for her to get those eyes are cheap (like medical jutsu). plus it's yet another 'uchiha can grow through love' thing, a father choosing to sacrifice his life and give sight back at the same time.

This. Hiruzen held office for far longer than he wanted to and his first reign was rock solid. His second reign had its issues, but he was well past the point he should have had to deal with that shit and it was solely because his successor bit the dust. Minato didn't even have to die to deal with the fox, but chose to die with his wife so she wouldn't have to shoulder the entire burden.

Sakura would've been an easy candidate if her husband wasn't the one who helped Naruto's "killer" escape the village.

>>282699224
Objectively speaking?
Hokage or IRL presidency grading isn't solely based on individual power so much as national development, political maneuvering, economic growth, stability, and legacy.

In that sense it's probably:
>S rank
Hashirama - Founder. Leaf was strong. Clans were united. World was peaceful. Leaf was great. Had a strong shadow in Hashirama

>A rank
Naruto - Peaceful days. lots of economic/tech development. Handed a decent Konoha and mostly kept it that way. Had a strong shadow in Sasuke.

>B rank
Hiruzen 1.0 - Wars ended and leaf was mostly dominant under a strong Hiruzen. Ended wars that broke out not from his fault. But allowed Danzo to do his dirty work.
Minato - not bad but reign too short to be any higher.
Tsunade - saved lots of villagers and implemented the medical nin team system. Given konoha in it's weakest state after Hiruzen 2.0, but lead it back to greatness. MADE KONOHA GREAT AGAIN. Her shadow in many ways was Jiraya who died.

>C rank
Kakashi - handed a good konoha and didn't fuck it up. Literally middle manager tier of hokage.
Tobirama - A great ninja but a pretty bad Kokage. Let wars breakout that Hashirama wouldn't have. Alienated the Uchiha. Abolished voting on the Hokage and switched to single vote passing of position. Didn't have notable children and didn't teach Danzo right.

>D rank
Shikamaru - He's been ass and Boruto isn't even canon.
Hiruzen 2.0 - literally the worst. should have just retired like xi/putin/biden/trump. Gets Konoha invaded. No letting Hyuga/UchihaFugaku/Orochimaru have the spot meant they all went on their own agendas. Left Danzo to his own devices to build his cult. Let the strongest Uchiha clan get wiped out. Not only allow but funded terrorist groups like Akatsuki. Got attacked by the sound & sand. Had 3 students: a pedogroomer tranny terrorist, an alcoholic gambler, and a drunk sexual predator. Konoha literally in shambles when he died with no successor (again).

>>282699224
through a real world lens the 4th hokage was the worst. He was there for the least amount of time yet everything went to shit after he died. At least tsunade can say she was in power when the 4th great ninja war ended. But the actual worst hokage is the 3rd. He turned a blind eye to all of the fucked up things going on which lead to so many problems down the line.
>>
>>282714121
Naruto should be s rank. Dude basically united the entire world so much so that the only real conflict is against aliens. Tsunade should be A rank for all the reasons you listed. Shikamaru hasn't done enough to be on the list imo

>>282715125
she's prob just not fit for it. even orochimaru couldn't get sage jutsu (though it's possible he has it after absorbing kabuto's experience). similarly you'd think Kakashi would try, since having augmented speed and perception would basically give him a sharingan again and let him keep using chidori, and his mentor was a sage (minato), his mentor's mentor was, and his student is, so he's aware of the potential. plus he's a lot more stoic and controlled, which you'd think would make him perfect for the training

Don't think so
It looks more like it's genetic deep,even when blown up to pieces (thus no working chakra network) he was still alive and only died to hunger/thirst in the hole
>>

Blame TFS for the first one at least

Hashirama's lax foreign policy and failure to keep his friend under control led to a lot of problems in the future. He was too soft.
Hashirama basically got lucky and he owes much of his success to his brother helping to establish the Leaf's infrastructure and organizations. Hashirama had the heart to bring people together, but he wasn't a good politician. True to his ideals, he was supported by several good people.
>>
>>282715118
Because it's not actually religion that gives him that power. He performed an occult ritual to gain his immortality and he just thinks it's his god responsible for it. He also has to ritually kill people regularly, which isn't going to sit well with most people.

This was always incredibly bullshit. There's 0 good reason for him to need to be able to take full control when Kabuto gave him a custom body to run wild with anyway. It was just a bare attempt to make Madara seem like some scheming mastermind badass who was totally uncontrollable, but it worsened my perception of him as a character.
Edo Tensei itself is such a plot hole by its very existence that it's baffling as well

I think, even at the time, Team Asuna was more impressive than Team 7. They were already capable of their noteworthy feats before they were displayed in the chunin exams, and I think they did a better job against team Dosu, or rather they just lost less pathetically, than Team 7. I think Asuma, who probably isn't on par with Kakashi, is still an impressive Jonin with how many people he single handedly beat during the Konoha Crush, is Hiruzen's son, and is part of the guardian ninja group who protects the Daimyo. Also, Ino is just sexier Sakura with better techniques

>>
>>282733160
when the entire national economy revolves around the military..
>>
>>282733265
evidently not since they're the daimyo's bitches
>>
>>282733286
the ninja villages are functionally independent city-states and only nominally answer to the daimyo. the Kage are all but outright said to be more important than the Daimyo, and consistently engage in diplomacy and conduct international affairs without ever seeking the Daimyo's approval.
>>
>>282733386
no they aren't

they do everything the daimyo tells them, even the kage is selected by him
>>
>>282733439
the daimyo is given the privilege of selecting from amongst the candidates the village proposes. When Danzo was appointed, the only guy originally even nominated was Kakashi and the daimyo of the fire nation outright asked the village who they recommended. Danzo only got the job because he strongarmed his way into the discussion.
>>
>>282733579
yes, the daimyo doesn't give a shit, but the final decision is still his to make
>>
>>282733579
But what the daimyo says sticks. Think of modern monarchies except the daimyo's word is the deciding factor.
>>
>>282733634
modern monarchies are republics in all but name. at least in the west. the monarch is just a tourist attraction
>>
it's been 10 years newfag
let it fucking go
>>
>>282727585
I mean the metanarrative reason. Kishimoto could have just written it differently and not introduced such a nonsense idea.
>>
>>282733699
Yes, in the Shinobi world it's kinda the same but the Daimyo has the last word on some stuff. In the end the problem might've not been the "village system" but having daimyos.
>>
>>282734250
my point was the daimyo is a rubber stamp with no real-world power. Asking for his approval is a simple formality that the ninja villages could ignore and the daimyo would not be able to do anything about it, and it's heavily implied that the daimyo basically go along with whatever the ninja villages propose because they know they have no authority to oppose them.
>>
>>282726411
This, Kyoto should've been the capital.

>>282734250
fundamentally the problem is the village system because their primary product and export is war. It's an issue that the series never even begins to address

>>282720542
Minatos death is so badly written: He had already marked the masked man with his Raijin, being able to just teleport to him like he did later in the 4th war. Instead he killed himself by sealing just one half of the Kyyubi chakra, creating a barrier that kept the third and other ninjas from helping. An the explaination of this convoluted plan gave the fox enough time to kill him and Kushina too. The entire plan only makes sense when you want to create the future we already know, rather than something you come up naturally.
>>

Well, its exactly because his reign is so short that things went tits up after he died. How long was he Hokage? Two, maybe three years at most? Wiki says he died at 24, that's young as fuck. No time to groom a successor, or stabilize his rule. Can't exactly blame him, especially when he died protecting the village as he should.

Hashirama was a genuine fucking retard who had to constantly be wrangled by Tobirama into actually doing shit. He was a figurehead at best on a good day, and Konoha instantly improved the second his Gelel-infused ass kicked the bucket and had based Tobirama take over properly.

If I were Kishimoto I would have explained the edo tensei as not having had infinite chakra until Orochimaru studied Jugo's clan and figured out how to passively collect nature energy for anyone such as with the cursed seals of earth and heaven. Edo tensei being able to reform even if they can't deal with so much nature energy not being an issue as long as the body and soul keep reforming together.
But Kishimoto doesn't think these things through and it is just assumed to work because it works most likely.

boruto actually develops flying raijin in a sense, by making it necessary to sense the place one is going to transport to, which gets more difficult when it's in motion or at a distance. that might be mostly bc boruto reverse engineers a worse version that uses objects instead of formulas and markings, but I'd imagine even in the case of instant recognition of formulas, you still have to be able to identify which one you're going to, and that only gets harder with more/less immediate destinations
>>
>>282745310
oh yeah i don't remember him explicitly being mentioned as a candidate-- it was basically orochimaru or minato. I'd imagine the top Uchiha would always be somewhat of a candidate, but not a real one in his case (hell, either shisui or itachi would probably already be garnering interest as a way to fix whatever problems would arise from the coming coup attempt, but instead the village decided to handle that as retarded as possible)

Shino is easily in the top 5 genin of his generation though. The problem is that he matches up horribly against Haku.
Kurenai might be able to pull one over on Zabuza, but she probably gets gutted in the end.
Hinata is garbage and wouldn't have been able to accomplish anything.
Kiba would be able to fend for himself better than Hinata, but he's got no game against Haku or Zabuza either.
