No doubt about it. The threats like the shinju, code, and future Otsutsuki are a drag, pun intended😂. But technically Shikamaru isn’t the official Hokage as he is filling in. But props to Shikamaru for keeping the village stable these last three years. I know Asuma and his dad would be proud
Difficult in a different state, in a way his job is the most straight forward without civil war, interior deception, spies and personal interest driven characters in charge like other Kage have had to deal with. He knows the alien trees are the enemy.
@@ThaboTouch-j5fever since I sent him those Reddit and Facebook screenshots on discord he’s been doing this. Someone said he was a “negative” RUclips channel because he used plot hole in the title or thumbnail. He’s made it a point to troll since because people who say that aren’t even watching the video before jumping to conclusions
@@TheTrumpToy-k2jby no means is Naruto a bad hokage. He gets praised because the village has thrived and expanded under him. He even prevented the fifth great ninja war.
@TheTrumpToy-k2j that point means actually nothing every kage is powerful and normally the most powerful in the village they need to be strong it's just part of the deal so yes he still would be rated that high because of who he is, no village was working with Naruto because they were scared if him, if they didn't actually respect him as a person why are they all searching for his supposed murder right now? Why aren't they raiding the leaf village now that Naruto is gone?
Technically, he’s not a Hokage. He’s filling in. But to answer your question, I think the worst Hokage is the third for his naïve idealism and not putting Danzo in his place. Had he just done that so much tragedy could’ve been avoided.
He's filling in the hokage job. Depending on what Naruto decides after he comes back Shikamaru either becomes official hokage or he passes it to konohamaru
@anoniem4136I feel as if we follow Naruto's personality, I am certain that he's going to be passing the mantle when he comes back. It's gonna be like one of those "oh, you're better than me so you keep doing that" scenarios.
Improvement? He should get stronger, because he is the weakest by far. His weakness, which will probably get him burned, will probably be that he takes everything logically and coldly and goes the "what wouldn't Naruto do" route.
C he’s definitely not horrible like some of the past Kage I just cannot ignore his battle strength being so low compared to every past Hokage. He get’s a A for running the politics of the village and an F for battle strength. He can simply improve through training.
This is a call back to hogoromo when he sent his two boys on a mission to become the next sage . Governing with just logic alone will destroy a village . Love is needed and it has to be a balance
@@louistech112granted the shinju started it when they invaded the leaf village. Even if they are newborns they killed some leaf shinobi, went after Himawari and Sarada, and was responsible for Shinki sealing Gaara.
Lets see whats going on in the leaf. Alien space gods , mad scientist, overpowered cyborgs with mind warping ablilitys i put him pretty high up so far based off how he’s handling things
Shikamaru's latest plan boosted him up for me cuz now he got them acting like actual ninjas since konoha can't just beat the fuck out of the enemy right now
I've always felt that the Hokage/Shinobi Alliance leader role was always meant for Shikamaru given the idea that he thinks like a tactician and a politician. I think that it would be more fitting for Naruto to be an instructor or teacher of sorts given the warm personality he has.
Well it is about the one with experience.. Shikamaru has had experience since he asked the 6th hokage and later on became Narutos right hand too. So obviously it was him. But to be fair its a little of the blue sky. The story has multiple times hinted at Konohamaru living that dream. So they should have built up to him becoming hokage instead.
I think the prime time of almost all the main cast was during the movie "The Last". Naruto was 21 years old at that time. I dont think that Shikamaru is much stronger nowadays than before.
Off topic I have a feeling there will be a next training arc for boruto with out kashin koji bc he wont trust him anymore because of the recent chapters and i have a feeling this is the time he gets the jogan and he might ask help from sumire bc when sumire used nue or the lion idk how to spell the name of her pet but anyway when she uses her pets power it made boruto awaken his jogan so he might ask help from her to help him get stronger and understand how the jogan works and how he can activate it
Do you think Koji will be an enemy again at some point? It seems that he and Boruto are already slightly throwing jabs at each other about certain things that need to be done to the point that their last conversation almost ended up in an argument.
How is he a bad hokage? The whole reason he didnt listen is because omnipotence got to him. And everything with the shinju is as ordered by Kashin Koji. A hokage is someone who can take authority while also protecting the others. The village would be divided if shika had informed them. He kept a united front and he found a way to help the village without endangering Ino. We don't know much on how he handles other spots but im sure he does well. He didn't cause conflict, acts for the folks interest and thats it
@@NarutoExplainedi know that isnt your opinion. I meant more like how could he be bad in peoples eyes. Maybe too early for this video because we have to see how his tactic with the shinju will turn out. That could change things
it isn't easy when you are leading in ways where the bureaucracy of the village is essentially running opposed to how they are. right now, shikamaru is in the same boat as hiruzen's 2nd tenure, he's governing goes in opposition to what his government wants and while we like to think the hokage is the ultimate power, the reality is that the hokage is as powerful as the bureaucratic powers (councilors, business interests, military) allow them to be and just like hiruzen, shikamaru doesn't have a lot of bureaucratic support if any at all right now
gonna make it VERY easy to see who watched the video too. I spent the whole video defending him as hokage. if ANYONE says I said otherwise, we give them the congrats you're a dummy award.
It’s absolutely ridiculous that shinobi who are spiritually and physically advanced, have knowledge about the universe outside of their planet, and have all these unique abilities, are ensl@ved to a unskilled useless feudal lord because of finances. You don’t need money for any of the things mentioned if they just work together for the betterment of each other which is a central theme in Naruto anyway. It’s the same In The real world that we live in now. That’s why it’s maddening because even these anime shows don’t challenge such a ridiculous concept like money.
it goes beyond the feudal lord. just like all the nations that make up our free world, their nations are all run by a massive bureaucracy full of councilors, special interests, military leaders, etc who all have their own agendas and ambitions which usually run in contrary to what the elected leader wants and to the detriment of its people. just like all of us in the free world, the nations within naruto's world are all run by a bureaucracy that has multitudes of different people and shikamaru is in the same boat as hiruzen, he only has support from a very small amount of that bureaucratic power
@ I mean you really said a whole lot of nothing. Bureaucracy=sl@very. Someone is at the top who gives orders and establishes the rules and expects those beneath to follow. In the Naruto world that is obviously the feudal lords. They’ve tricked shinobi into thinking they need a feudal lord when the feudal lord is nothing without the shinobi. The shinobi can live easily without the feudal lord tho if they just used their brain and worked together. Same in our world. It’s irresponsible to call how we living free lol. There are entities that control our planet bureacratically in the same way. We’ve been tricked into believing we need money and things like that. Shikamaru is a sl@ve that’s why he so stressed out. He’s ensl@ved to eida’s ability and he’s ensl@ved to a mere feudal lord because one he’s not at a high enough mental and spiritual frequency to be able to be unaffected by eidas ability and two he’s not able to pull people together to be able to counter a feudal lord stopping “funding” which is completely unnecessary.
In order from best to worst Hashirama Tsunade Kakashi Shikamaru Naruto The 3rd The 2nd Minato (he had the most potential to be the best Kage but since he died so young only being Hokage for a couple years he has to be at the bottom)
He’s been a great hokage imo. The decisions he’s made thus far have been objectively right. He HAS to trust Koji, just as he does boruto. But he also has to make rash decisions, unlike Naruto.
shika way better than the third 😭😭 its just he dgaf bout no title. so he dont mind murking up the hokage name. it meant nothing to him in the first place
Realistically I think his lack of raw power might be the only thing saving the leaf. Every other hokage would probably confront jura. Also ever since Ive seen the author of the 48 laws of power I cant take it seriously anymore. Looks like the kinda dude to get shoved into a locker as a grown man hahaha.
He’s by far the weakest hokage. It’s been shown plenty of times his jutsu don’t stand a chance against the otsustuki, and characters who can absorb jutsu! He also has said in the past in front of all leaf shinobi and Kakashi and Tsunade former hokage that he has no plan or any clue how to stop Ishiki when he was attacking the village!
Minato probably still takes that cake. Didn’t do much in his 2-3 years in power. Wasn’t there for his students in the third war. Which leaded obito down the wrong path and to be the leader of the new Akatsuki. His term left a lot of affairs that hokages after him inherited
The latest chapter made it clear that even though he's the weakest Hokage by far, he's undoubtedly the smartest. Bro is taking no chances at all. In a time when your nation can come under attack at any moment AND your citizens' memories are altered, the best thing you can be is a pragmatic nationalist. Lol. Everything for the sake of Konoha's continued existence, which naturally ties back to "protecting the king", which he learned in Shippuden. I couldn't care less about his combat abilites as a reader, regardless of how critical it is in the series. A good character is a good character, and I don't think any of us want Shikamaru of all people to be fumbled.
@stephenking2895 Considering how Kakashi deferred to him while he was a teen, he's definitely smarter than him. Hiruzen??? Lol. Minato and Tobirama were smart. Of course, it's hard to directly compare (and tbh, I'm not at all interested in even doing that), but going off the feat of being able to see through Omnipotence *despite* still being affected by it... gotta give Shikamaru props at least.
@ kakashi was just there help get revenge for his boy. Shikamaru ain’t smarter than bro. Kakashi done deferred to Naruto. Yes hiruzen that led the village to victory in a couple great ninja wars. The guy was younger than Shikamaru while being a great general. Like u wanna knock for the missteps he had while he was old? Cmon. That’s the professor. Props that wouldn’t have happened had it not been for Amado another person that’s smarter than him. U can even orochimaru to that list. The other geniuses in Naruto verse have the edge over Shikamaru as they just don’t have iq or biq than either ninjutsu geniuses or great scientist. They are just great at cold logic their genius goes beyond that.
@@stephenking2895 Kakashi deferred to Shikamaru because of his intellect, and deferred to Naruto because of his strength. Like I said, I'm not really trying to compare or downplay the previous Hokage, but IQ wise, Shikamaru's definitely the smartest. We just don't get to see it much because he’s lazy, hasn't gotten much screen time since his arc in Shippuden, and isn't a fighter like other characters. Amado has obvious advantages we don't even fully know about, so of course he's gonna be smarter. Other characters have bigger feats because they're stronger. But no doubt Shikamaru's a big reason why Naruto's administration had been running as smoothly as it has for all these years. My point is just that his head is in the right place and Konoha probably couldn't have a better person take over for Naruto while he's gone in this situation. If anyone's gonna be capable of making those tough choices that needs to be made, it's him. And doing that requires prioritizing your brain over your emotions.
Shikamaru is not a bad Hokage per se but he’s not a true inaugurated Hokage yet, and give what the Elders said regarding the Feudal Lord, I believe he’s going to get found out for helping Boruto and get replaced by Konohamaru, which if he makes it out of this arc alive, he will be the one who will become the real 8th Hokage.
Everything what happening I blame Naruto he made few bad decisions not to mention he told nagato he’d bring peace and prosperity to the hidden rain village and what happened to that same village nth but destruction and destroyed
@@NarutoExplainedOverall Naruto did a lot more than many Hokage in his lifetime. With the exception of Kakashi of course. Naruto continued to expand what Kakashi did and was the main glue that kept the villages together and was at the center of most Otsutsuki attacks
Shika is the perfect Hokage for this threat. I think the feudal lords are just a distraction. I'm not certain the danger of the Shin are known to all nations. Shika is trusted ❤
I don't understand how someone can say shikamaru is the worst hokage when hiruzen and tobirama exist... Racist tobirama and clown hiruzen who sat on his ass and let danzo do so kinda me to shhh
Tobirama is a top 3 hokage. The guy has done so much for the village. Tobirama isn’t racist. The systems that he put in place still benefit the village till this day. Other villages even had to copy them cause they’re so effective.
Nobody will ever surpass the 2nd Hokage’s contributions and infrastructure that he put in place, but he’s probably the 2nd best Hokage in history if not the 3rd followed by Kakashi…worst place, 4th followed by Tsunade.
@@airosebanadora3808 don’t compare Shikamaru and danzo. Danzo may have wanted to protect the village but he wanted to make it in his image and didn’t think of the consequences of his actions. Shikamaru knows he’s not Naruto but is still trying to protect the village in his name and keep the peace instead of festering hatred unlike Danzo.
In the worst case they will be informed by jura that they aren't friends and just using them. And than their anger will take over. Anger + desire to devour is dangerous. As long as they were treated good, they had a soft human side. They need to keep that and earn trust so that they will give in eventually to help their friends.
I think he’s had it rough while he’s not dealing with wearing nations is beefing with alien clones with godly like powers along with cyborgs with god like powers including omnipotence so I think he’s handled it as well as he could considering he’s probably the weakest hokage
@stephenking2895 Tobirama is literally the blue print of konoha to which every other village adopted (for better or worse) heck both naruto and minato added two of his arsenal in their move set. Anbu, police force, exams. The other hokages just continued it
People who don't know him think the thumbnail reflects the video. So you think shika is a bad drunk hokage. But long time viewers who actually watch the video know he either trolls a character for attention or because he disagrees with the topic. But ideally maybe he should put both a serious shikamaru and a troll shikamaru in the thumbnail to make it clear.
As much as I like Shikamaru, he should never have become Hokage. He is by far the weakest Hokage and don't get me wrong. Yes, he is the wisest by far, but that is not what the Hokage position is about. Hokage is primarily about strength and personality and the fact that I am right about this is clearly seen in the previous Hokages before him. Sharingan Kakashi, Sannin Tsunade "Slug Princess", Yellow Flash, Professor Hiruzen, God of Shinobi Hashirama. They all have strength and, above all, legendary personality. Shikamaru should have always just remained an advisor. An advisor doesn't have to be strong, because he is only there to advise.
Shikamaru would make a good prime minister or president in our universe, but not a good kage in his world because he is Waaay out of his league after the high iq plays being high probability of back fires. He maybe memed as the "worst hokage" blud he is NOT danzo levels of worst yet
Naruto 16 years later still hasn’t brought peace to the rain village, which means he was lying to Nagato. Shikamaru is already a better hokage than Naruto. Her recruited Eida, Daemon, and Amado back to the leaf after Code kidnapped Amado. Saved Naruto and Sasuke from getting neg diff by code, if they ran into Eida before they kidnapped Amado. Naruto wouldn’t negotiate a deal to have Eida get with Kawaki, because Naruto wouldn’t use his sons for political gains. But Shikamaru doesn’t care which is way he made that deal. If Naruto could keep Kawaki in check he wouldn’t be sealed in a timeless dimension for the past 3 years. Compare that to Shikamaru who kept Kawaki in check for the past 3 years, and now a double agent working with Boruto/koji to take down the shinju.
Hasn’t brought peace to rain?? How uni that?? Naruto brought peace to the great nations and smaller nations. That’s better than Shikamaru has done. Shikamaru thought kawaki was Naruto’s son not the kid from Kara. He’s not keeping him in check. If Naruto listened to Shikamaru back then isshiki would have won. Naruto’s the reason the economy in konaha is booming.
@ Naruto is the reason Naruto took what kakashi did further. Again also the reason for peace between nation both great and small. Done saved the world multiple times. Prevented the fifth great shinobi war. Oh u talking about shii that not even manga canon🤣.
I honestly think you work for the naruto cast bro. You honestly think shikamaru is a better hokage then kakashi? Bro cant make this shit up.! The village is literally in shambles rn bro 😂 he is doing a bad job
Did you watch the video or are you commenting ONLY off the title and thumbnail? I'm gonna guess the latter, you jumped the gun...what specifically stated in the video did you disagree with? I purposely title the videos and use thumbnails to get a reaction out of people, which shows who watches the video and who reacts
Shikamaru is the perfect hokage, but he doesn’t want it. You can tell he was always being prepped for it but never actually wanted that position. Shikamarus face was never created along with the other kages, he also never fully accepted it and times running out for him and the leaf Unfortunately… Shikadai is about to get major character development
@NarutoExplained Probably...🤔 WITH Kurama...that is making Uzumaki superiority bit on shady side for me. As Boruto is now Alien host, so he will be stronger, than Naruto, or anyone else. But unlike earlier gens, BORUTO gen especially stopped training, mostly supported by technology + hidden unfair boosts. Maybe You should make rank of strongest, but taking away any biyuu, aliens powers, fakely inherited ones(like magic of one movie Hamura power)...just basing on training, hard work, maybe accepting clan boosts, like kekken genkai...🤔 That would be interesting.
@@mbuszka5295he’s still stronger without kurama. You really have no idea how strong naruto is. The fact he was that strong with Kurama means his base got stronger.
Shikamaru as the hokage is Facing the most challenging times in all of Shinobi History

The latest chapter made it clear that even though he's the weakest Hokage by far, he's undoubtedly the smartest. Bro is taking no chances at all. In a time when your nation can come under attack at any moment AND your citizens' memories are altered, the best thing you can be is a pragmatic nationalist. Lol. Everything for the sake of Konoha's continued existence, which naturally ties back to "protecting the king", which he learned in Shippuden. I couldn't care less about his combat abilites as a reader, regardless of how critical it is in the series. A good character is a good character, and I don't think any of us want Shikamaru of all people to be fumbled.
Is he smarter than tobirama Minato kakashi and hiruzen??
@stephenking2895 Considering how Kakashi deferred to him while he was a teen, he's definitely smarter than him. Hiruzen??? Lol. Minato and Tobirama were smart. Of course, it's hard to directly compare (and tbh, I'm not at all interested in even doing that), but going off the feat of being able to see through Omnipotence *despite* still being affected by it... gotta give Shikamaru props at least.
@ kakashi was just there help get revenge for his boy. Shikamaru ain’t smarter than bro. Kakashi done deferred to Naruto.
Yes hiruzen that led the village to victory in a couple great ninja wars. The guy was younger than Shikamaru while being a great general. Like u wanna knock for the missteps he had while he was old? Cmon. That’s the professor. Props that wouldn’t have happened had it not been for Amado another person that’s smarter than him. U can even orochimaru to that list. The other geniuses in Naruto verse have the edge over Shikamaru as they just don’t have iq or biq than either ninjutsu geniuses or great scientist. They are just great at cold logic their genius goes beyond that.
@@stephenking2895 Kakashi deferred to Shikamaru because of his intellect, and deferred to Naruto because of his strength.
Like I said, I'm not really trying to compare or downplay the previous Hokage, but IQ wise, Shikamaru's definitely the smartest. We just don't get to see it much because he’s lazy, hasn't gotten much screen time since his arc in Shippuden, and isn't a fighter like other characters. Amado has obvious advantages we don't even fully know about, so of course he's gonna be smarter. Other characters have bigger feats because they're stronger. But no doubt Shikamaru's a big reason why Naruto's administration had been running as smoothly as it has for all these years. My point is just that his head is in the right place and Konoha probably couldn't have a better person take over for Naruto while he's gone in this situation. If anyone's gonna be capable of making those tough choices that needs to be made, it's him. And doing that requires prioritizing your brain over your emotions.
Shikamaru is not a bad Hokage per se but he’s not a true inaugurated Hokage yet, and give what the Elders said regarding the Feudal Lord, I believe he’s going to get found out for helping Boruto and get replaced by Konohamaru, which if he makes it out of this arc alive, he will be the one who will become the real 8th Hokage.
Everything what happening I blame Naruto he made few bad decisions not to mention he told nagato he’d bring peace and prosperity to the hidden rain village and what happened to that same village nth but destruction and destroyed
it's tricky, like naruto did a lot of good but some of those decisions tho....
@@NarutoExplainedOverall Naruto did a lot more than many Hokage in his lifetime. With the exception of Kakashi of course. Naruto continued to expand what Kakashi did and was the main glue that kept the villages together and was at the center of most Otsutsuki attacks
Naruto was a bad kage imo
@@Yesboiii99 Naruto made his own mistakes but not hokage is perfect. Compared to some others it wasn’t that high
Shika is the perfect Hokage for this threat. I think the feudal lords are just a distraction. I'm not certain the danger of the Shin are known to all nations.
Shika is trusted ❤
Calling him “the worst” when danzo was literally hokage ….. I can’t really agree with that opinion 🧐😂
Shikamaru is a good Hokage
He just has a different approach than Naruto and he's in a tough situation right now
Yeah we’re only 17 chapters into the story so it’s tough to say where Shikamaru stands as Hokage
I don't understand how someone can say shikamaru is the worst hokage when hiruzen and tobirama exist... Racist tobirama and clown hiruzen who sat on his ass and let danzo do so kinda me to shhh
Tobirama is a top 3 hokage. The guy has done so much for the village. Tobirama isn’t racist. The systems that he put in place still benefit the village till this day. Other villages even had to copy them cause they’re so effective.
Nobody will ever surpass the 2nd Hokage’s contributions and infrastructure that he put in place, but he’s probably the 2nd best Hokage in history if not the 3rd followed by Kakashi…worst place, 4th followed by Tsunade.
never said he surpassed tobirama in the video. did you watch it?
Shikamaru is having a huge crisis in the villige and is tryng to stabilise.
Yooooo
whats good
My goat can't be worse than the 3rd lmao
Shikamaru is Danzo, strict but he only wants the safety of the village.
@@airosebanadora3808 don’t compare Shikamaru and danzo. Danzo may have wanted to protect the village but he wanted to make it in his image and didn’t think of the consequences of his actions.
Shikamaru knows he’s not Naruto but is still trying to protect the village in his name and keep the peace instead of festering hatred unlike Danzo.
Do you think this plan have the potential to backfire really bad on them
very badly
In the worst case they will be informed by jura that they aren't friends and just using them. And than their anger will take over.
Anger + desire to devour is dangerous. As long as they were treated good, they had a soft human side. They need to keep that and earn trust so that they will give in eventually to help their friends.
LLLLLLEEEETTTTSSSSSS GGGGOOOOOOOOO‼️
yes sir!
I think he’s had it rough while he’s not dealing with wearing nations is beefing with alien clones with godly like powers along with cyborgs with god like powers including omnipotence so I think he’s handled it as well as he could considering he’s probably the weakest hokage
Tobirama
Tsunade
Kakashi
Naruto
Hashirama
Shikamaru
Hiruzen
Danzo
It’s Naruto kakashi tobirama then everyone else
@stephenking2895 Tobirama is literally the blue print of konoha to which every other village adopted (for better or worse) heck both naruto and minato added two of his arsenal in their move set. Anbu, police force, exams. The other hokages just continued it
he's one of the only hokage we see actually involved in politics. i'd have to say Hiruzen is probably the worst unless we count Danzo.
Old gen gonna be the brains, new gen gonna be the muscle like in shippuden in the war against the shinju
shikamaru gonna challenge Jura to a shogei match
@@NarutoExplainedhe’s already read up on how to adequately play😭
Or dakji😂 @@NarutoExplained
Handing out dummy awards to those who fall for the genjutsu in the thumbnail. 😊
At this point anyone who complains about the thumbnails prove his point, people care too much about the thumbnail and not what he says in the video
People who don't know him think the thumbnail reflects the video. So you think shika is a bad drunk hokage. But long time viewers who actually watch the video know he either trolls a character for attention or because he disagrees with the topic.
But ideally maybe he should put both a serious shikamaru and a troll shikamaru in the thumbnail to make it clear.
As much as I like Shikamaru, he should never have become Hokage. He is by far the weakest Hokage and don't get me wrong. Yes, he is the wisest by far, but that is not what the Hokage position is about. Hokage is primarily about strength and personality and the fact that I am right about this is clearly seen in the previous Hokages before him. Sharingan Kakashi, Sannin Tsunade "Slug Princess", Yellow Flash, Professor Hiruzen, God of Shinobi Hashirama. They all have strength and, above all, legendary personality. Shikamaru should have always just remained an advisor. An advisor doesn't have to be strong, because he is only there to advise.
Shikamaru would make a good prime minister or president in our universe, but not a good kage in his world because he is Waaay out of his league after the high iq plays being high probability of back fires.
He maybe memed as the "worst hokage" blud he is NOT danzo levels of worst yet
Naruto 16 years later still hasn’t brought peace to the rain village, which means he was lying to Nagato.
Shikamaru is already a better hokage than Naruto. Her recruited Eida, Daemon, and Amado back to the leaf after Code kidnapped Amado. Saved Naruto and Sasuke from getting neg diff by code, if they ran into Eida before they kidnapped Amado.
Naruto wouldn’t negotiate a deal to have Eida get with Kawaki, because Naruto wouldn’t use his sons for political gains. But Shikamaru doesn’t care which is way he made that deal. If Naruto could keep Kawaki in check he wouldn’t be sealed in a timeless dimension for the past 3 years. Compare that to Shikamaru who kept Kawaki in check for the past 3 years, and now a double agent working with Boruto/koji to take down the shinju.
Hasn’t brought peace to rain?? How uni that??
Naruto brought peace to the great nations and smaller nations. That’s better than Shikamaru has done.
Shikamaru thought kawaki was Naruto’s son not the kid from Kara. He’s not keeping him in check. If Naruto listened to Shikamaru back then isshiki would have won. Naruto’s the reason the economy in konaha is booming.
@ *Kakashi is the reason for Konoha booming. Kara used the rain village for the karma experiments so he didn’t do shit for the rain village.😂
@ Naruto is the reason Naruto took what kakashi did further. Again also the reason for peace between nation both great and small. Done saved the world multiple times. Prevented the fifth great shinobi war. Oh u talking about shii that not even manga canon🤣.
@@stephenking2895 Naruto is better shinobi but not a better hokage. All those things happen when he was a genin 😂
Surpassed in dumbness, absolutely.
I honestly think you work for the naruto cast bro. You honestly think shikamaru is a better hokage then kakashi? Bro cant make this shit up.! The village is literally in shambles rn bro 😂 he is doing a bad job
Did you watch the video or are you commenting ONLY off the title and thumbnail? I'm gonna guess the latter, you jumped the gun...what specifically stated in the video did you disagree with? I purposely title the videos and use thumbnails to get a reaction out of people, which shows who watches the video and who reacts
Shikamaru is the perfect hokage, but he doesn’t want it. You can tell he was always being prepped for it but never actually wanted that position. Shikamarus face was never created along with the other kages, he also never fully accepted it and times running out for him and the leaf Unfortunately… Shikadai is about to get major character development
I don't like naruto explained cuz he told a good friend of mine might gui isn't kage level
what a drag
1st
Catch up boys
thats that flying raijin noti squad combination jutsu
@@NarutoExplained you keep putting out good content I'm going to keep showing up
I still think, Hashirama was strongest shinobi...🤔
when he was alive...naruto passed him.
@NarutoExplained Probably...🤔 WITH Kurama...that is making Uzumaki superiority bit on shady side for me. As Boruto is now Alien host, so he will be stronger, than Naruto, or anyone else. But unlike earlier gens, BORUTO gen especially stopped training, mostly supported by technology + hidden unfair boosts.
Maybe You should make rank of strongest, but taking away any biyuu, aliens powers, fakely inherited ones(like magic of one movie Hamura power)...just basing on training, hard work, maybe accepting clan boosts, like kekken genkai...🤔
That would be interesting.
@@mbuszka5295Naruto is still stronger even without kurama
@@mbuszka5295he’s still stronger without kurama. You really have no idea how strong naruto is. The fact he was that strong with Kurama means his base got stronger.
