Say goodbye to the Rinnegan, and welcome an even stronger eye to Boruto
The Rinnegan has become obsolete in Boruto. This new eye is very good now.
Unfortunately, fans didn't get to see much of Naruto's reign in the original series. However, in Boruto, fans got glimpses of him here and there. It's safe to say Naruto spent some time as Hokage of the villageBut it seems his reign is now at an end. It's time for fans to say goodbye to their beloved Seventh Hokage forever, because it's highly unlikely that he will lead the village again. of course, Naruto will not die, but it is time for this young blood to take over Konoha and lead by example..
Naruto overcame many hardships to become the Seventh Hokage of Konoha
-
Naruto had to earn Kurama's trust and respect
-
Naruto's hardships shaped him
the entirety of Naruto The story sees Naruto Uzumaki fighting many hardships to achieve his goals. Naruto wanted to be the Hokage of the village, and he certainly accomplished that. Actually, Naruto's goal is deeper than becoming Hokage. The reason Naruto became Hokage was to earn the approval of everyone else around him. In other words, Naruto only sought the attention and respect of those around him. He already achieved this in large part after the end of the painful battle. The entirety of Konoha, which once hated him, hailed him as their hero, and in the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto earned the recognition of not only his village, but the entire world. He didn't become a hero like the others, so a few years after the war ended he finally rose up and became the seventh Hokage of the village..
It goes without saying to get it, Naruto had to overcome many hardships. He had to conquer his inner demon, which was his greatest enemy. He also had to overcome the hatred in his own hatred, and of course, he had to bring his best friend, Sasuke, back to the village. All of these things made Naruto the man that fans know him to be, and they also made him a great character. Without these hardships, Naruto would never have become the Seventh Hokage, and he would never have become the hero who saved the world.
This is why Naruto's story is as beloved as it is. His journey from being a nameless boy to the greatest Hokage in history is absolutely incredible and will inspire the next generation of ninjas as a whole.
Naruto cannot rule as the Seventh Hokage again
While this goes without saying Naruto is the best Hokage everAnd even the strongest, he will likely never rule again as the Seventh Hokage. This is because Naruto Uzumaki was incapacitated by Kawaki when he was locked away at the end of the first part of Boruto. It's been three years, and Naruto has already been declared dead. Of course, fans know he's not dead, but that matters little, since Konoha already has an Interim Hokage in Shikamaru.
now, Shikamaru leads the village as the unofficial 8th HokageBut it won't be long before there is a true 8th Hokage. Naruto's return doesn't seem imminent at the moment. In fact, fans know that when Kawaki and Boruto fight, Naruto is still locked up. In other words, she will not return before the end of the Boruto series. Konoha may have gotten its next Hokage before Naruto's return, meaning he wouldn't have the chance to rule again after his return.
Konoha needs a new Hokage, and there are already candidates
-
Shikamaru can become the permanent Hokage
-
Konohamaru could become the real 8th Hokage
Konoha needs a brand new Hokage. While Shikamaru is serving as the Hokage's unofficial successorIt should be noted that it has been three years since Naruto was sealed. The village cannot remain in this state of uncertainty for long, which is why Kishimoto has been highlighting this time and again. It doesn't take long for Shikamaru to become the official successor to the Hokage of the villageOr someone else takes his place.
Is Shinju Zura stronger than Naruto Uzumaki? Boruto Powerscaling Explained
Shinju Zura is the strongest of the bunch. He is even stronger than Naruto Uzumaki in Boruto.
It is possible that Shikamaru will be expelled from his position for collaborating with BorutoFans already know. Once that happens, Konoha will likely elect a new Hokage, and this person will most likely be none other than Konohamaru, who is the best candidate at the moment. Of course, there are others from the Naruto era, such as Sakura, who would make a better fit. Bringing Kakashi back would be great though. However, if there's one thing Boruto has proven time and time again, it's that it doesn't care about the older generation and pretends they don't exist.
likewise, The next Hokage could be someone from the new generation like Konohamaru. It would also allow his dream of becoming Hokage of Konohamaru to be fully realized.
Konohamaru could be the eighth, while Sarada could be the ninth Hokage
As the story unfolds, Konohamaru will be the eighth Hokage of Konoha Officially, and he will eventually be followed by Sarada, who has already wielded enough power to become Hokage. Sarada would eventually gain a lot of maturity, and in a few years, she would become the ninth Hokage of the village.And that goes without saying much.
When Naruto returns, the series will likely be at its end, and by then, Sarada will be the next Hokage. In order for his dreams to come true, Naruto must give up his own, and that's quite a problem. So, the best approach for the author to take here is to have Konomaru become the 8th and then Sarada as the 9th.
Naruto has already lived his dream as the 7th Hokage, and when he returns, he will no longer be the Hokage. As unfortunate as it is, fans must bid farewell to Naruto Uzumaki as the Seventh Hokage and accept that the next generation will officially take over the Two Blue Vortex.
