    Sadly sinc, I don't think anyones gone the distance with that yet.

    I was more interested when Konan said "Amegakure will help you make your dreams come true."

    Naruto with a whole legion of shinobi. Do want.

    It seems that the Naruto world is ramping up for a full-blown war, which may very well be Madara's intention.

    Suna, Konoha, Ame and possibly Kumo vs. Madara's Kiri and its allies.

    Do you think Kishi could pen a manga in the middle of a ninja war decently? I'd like to believe that he could, but some of the twists and turns the manga has taken has seriously been wtf.

    I know some stories, but they are all crap. There has yet to be a decent Naruto/Konan that doesn't involve tons of plot holes and BS. The only good one I've ever read was taken down a few months ago.

    Quite frankly, I'd be amazed if this happened, since I can't see Kumo being willing to assist Konoha with anything for some reason.

    Well maybe if Naruto finds KillerBee, beats the every loven shit out of him and drags him back to Kumo . . .

    Then again its more likely that he meets the Kumo delegation sent to Konoha, and makes a . . . favorable impression on certain well endowed members of said delegation.

    Larger Breast size -> more likely to be impressed by or like Naruto

    Danzo is Hokage

    <3

    Edit: I guess Naruto getting a hero's welcome isn't too surprising. Meh, maybe it'll get rid of those abusive Konoha fics...One can hope.

    The delegation that the Raikage sent to the Hokage?

    Meh. I didn't like how the Daimyo dictated the placement of the next Hokage. Didn't like it at all.

    Oh. And I really hate the fact that Naruto won't be the Rokudaime. Not because I thought he had any chance at the current moment, but rather because the name "Rokudaime" just sounds rather cool, no? But now Naruto will be the Seventh or the Eighth, neither of which sound that great in Japanese.

    Bah, I'm shallow, I know.

    I'm beginning to like the Cloud team, they're quite amusing in their eccentricities. That said, it's really offset by the way the Rokudaime was selected. It seemed like he was chosen on a whim more than anything else.

    I doubt that the Daimyo ever had to think very hard about who to choose before. The successors up until now have been blatantly obvious.

    Too many emotions at the moment... This chapter just made me wish to forget about Naruto universe altogether.
    Fuck you Kishi...

    The chapter wasn't half bad, even if the selection "process" for the new Hokage seemed a little random. Mostly I'm interested in seeing what Danzo can actually accomplish by himself. I mean, he probably wants to do something that Naruto won't like. But with Naruto being uber popular nowadays and Konoha's ally, Suna, and Ame being like Naruto's personal allies, it should be pretty tough to do anything Naruto doesn't approve.

    Plus, isn't Tsunade still technically a Hokage too(at least if she isn't dead, unlikely since we're talking about Naruto). Why in hell did they even need a new Hokage, really?

    Interesting.

    I'm not sure I'm thrilled with how easy it was for Danzo to become the Hokage. That entire sequence was pretty quick for the fifth not being dead. I'll be curious to see what comes of it, and if Naruto has any inkling of how bad it might be.

    I'd like to see more Kakashi as a general rule, and maybe this will lead into some. Seems likely.

    What would you do if your president or chief of all your military power was in coma? Wait till he wakes up and hope that no one fuck you up?

    Anyway, the new hokage was better than all that 'Mass ressurection jutsu' I think. Plus, I can see tons of fic showing up with konoha going to hell and Harry...er, Naruto leading a underground resistance with his "Best friends Forever!!!" Ron and...er... Sasuke and Sakura.

    Seriosly, WTF? wasnt it stated on the mangas that danzou's body is all fucked up? Or those bandages are just for the show?

    Still, I'm all for Naruto/Suna/Ame Vs Danzou Vs Akatsuki. My only hope is that someone actualy stays dead this time.

    Well, if Danzo's body is all fucked up then it just goes to show you that you don't need to be physically powerful to be a Kage. His mind still works fine so he can still lead.

    Intelligence is a power of it's own after all.

    However, given the creation of clans and villages with the general philosophy of the Clan era, the respect and loyalty is only given to the strong. Thus to attain and maintain the loyalty of a clan, village, or whatever, the Kage must be strong enough to defeat a Bijuu...

    Yeah, I'm all for supporting the "his mind works fine he can lead" and "intelligence is a power of its own" concepts most of the time, but in this particular case/story/manga, I'm not sure that's quite how it works.

    The Kages are supposed to be some of the strongest ninja out there when it comes to fighting. It's not like they are the *most* powerful out there, since there are obviously ninja on that level that aren't Kages, but they are top tier fighters.

    So I expect that Danzo is either on that level himself and is playing off his injuries as worse than they are, or this is damn stupid.

    That said, I understand needing to do something since Tsunade is unconscious but they could have given the doctors a day or so to see if they could come up with a prognosis. If she looked like she was gonna wake up, then the council could have handled things for a day. I expect the orders were fairly standard right then -- scout the perimeters, make sure no one is going to attack us, look under the rubble for surivivors, take stock of supplies/resources, set up temporary shelters for families, etc.

    Then again, if there was an attack incoming, it is a good idea to have someone in charge.

    I could argue either way for "waiting to see about Tsunade" or for "Appoint a Hokage quickly just in case" but it was just handled poorly, felt rushed, and didn't seem the least bit realistic -- even for the world of Naruto. I didn't like it. The resurrect everyone Jutsu was irritating as well.
