shikamaru..... he's not powerful enoguh to be hokage... he's weak : |

Smarts>Strength

blasphemy, you can't protect your people without strenght

weak hokage commanding weak underlings.... not very promising.

He should be an advisor, not a hokage

He has the intelligence to lead

You shouldn't send your president out to fight the wars anyway...

Smart hokage can utilize his shinobi better than a brute shinobi
Think about why the land of cloud kage wanted to fight or do something but couldn't because he was the leader of the alliance and had to watch the battle happen
While shikamarus dad was doing all the thinking and planning, the kage was being wasted by twiddling his thumb

I've always liked Itachi the most, he's just such a fucking intelligent bad ass. He's always a few steps ahead of everyone, even in death.

Itachi was the best....alot of people liked him, killing him off kinda sucked. I was personally rather upset with the direction they took his story in...I genuinely wanted him to be a real asshole that truly did murder his entire clan just to "test his potential" like he said for his initial story. The plot twist that turned him from villain to hero and then the whole "I love you, bro!" between him and Sasuke felt so forced, but all character relations aside; in a fight, he was always a fucking monster. They still never explained why he lost to Sasuke, I remember Zetsu noting that Itachi wasn't moving normally during the fight, and that he had been dying or was poisoned, but they never expanded on that after, unless I missed something.
