Making it to Shippuuden, I sat down to think if I was a Shinobi, would I actually want to ever, like ever, want to become Hokage? Because from the looks of it, it is mostly very much a lot, and I mean A LOT of paper work, you just graduated from the academy, the last thing you'd want is to fill out some papers, not to mention the big burden of being responsible for the entire village.

I think I'd just be happy being a regular shinobi, chunin at the very least. However being Hokage still sounds awesome, being the strongest, when outsiders think of your village, they'll think of you too etc. Plus you get to change any customs or traditions that need progression.

What are your thoughts?

As any other position of leadership, Hokage is just prestigious in name, but there's a lot of bureaucratic bullshit you'd have to go through. So I'd probably pass.

I would rather become a pirate king because it’s fun and you will be free to do whatever you want instead of sitting and doing paperwork all day.

Definitely not, I think you really got to see how stressful the job of a Hokage is, I wouldn't want to deal with the political fuss and bureaucracy.

I’ll pass for sure. It’s basically like being a politician except you’re also one of the top fighters in the village.

I couldn’t ever do that job better then or as well as the actual Hokage’s. So I’d say no I’d rather be a low ranking Shinobi who skirts by and retires if I live that long!

Most people would be horrible hokages. Also the idea of the hokage needing to be the strongest is so stupid in the first place. Practically, why would you ever want your strongest guy to be behind the desk and not on the battlefield. You just need a good ruler and leader to be a hokage, someone with brains not muscles.

He is very stupid. He can make like 10000 shadow clones and be finished with work in 1 minute. This whole plot point was so devoid of logic or any real basis.

no i dont want to be hokage. i would never put the village above my family. in fact, id rather not belong to a hidden village at all. i hate the concept of a leader sending me to my death. i control my life, no one else. if i were to gain power, it would be to maintain my freedom and autonomy, not to run around completing missions and risking my life for some village

No one here would be selected as hokage. Leadership positions like that take a specific type of person. That’s why there’s only one. The leadership positions I’ve taken, I haven’t necessarily volunteered for, but I was the best fit and I did it. It’s the same situation with that position.

It's a horrible job with basically no true benefits. You basically sit behind a desk all day and when shit hits the fan you're expected to protect the village, and let's face it Konoha faces more threats than the other main villages combined probably. And if you fail and people die or there's other collateral damage, you have to shoulder the guilt and trauma of knowing you failed as a leader.

Also you can't (or rather shouldn't) leave the village except to attend Kage Summits, so you're basically trapped in the village most of the time.
