Naruto Thread (Spoilers For Sure)

my only comment: you don't need to have kakashi and tsunade be dead for there to be another hokage. Look at what happened with the 3rd and 4th.
Shikamaru would probably pass on the role, instead wanting to be an advisor to the hokage. I can honestly not see Naruto accepting the role after everything that happened, and it being a learning/maturing point imo. (Naruto, as a child, desired the "ultimate goal" in his limited world-view. Now as an adult, he'll see the hardships, and instead want higher goals for himself. I'd say I can see him trying to become a "ninkage," or like a kind of general protector of all the ninja villages, or just deciding that someone better than him would take the role and do better than he would.)

Inb4 he gives it to sasuke and he takes the far higher role of world guardian
