While I don't nescessarily believe this is the most likely scenario I think it's got a fair chance.
Yamato as we all know was experimented on by Orochimaru, it gives him a troubled past filled with harsh realities and sets up his ability that he can use the rest of his life, mokuton, the ability not even descendants of the first have used and most likely can't. The ability that created Konoha.
Yamato was in an ANBU squad with Kakashi and still is in ANBU while temporarily leading a chuunin/genin and another ANBU member, as it stands now he's proved to be a level headed thinker, quick action taker, quick thinker as well, strong, and he knows the truths of being a ninja. He obviously knows the ninja rulebook is one way to live your life as a ninja but doesn't follow it to the T, while being kind hearted, he finds a nice middle ground on how to behave as a ninja, which makes him give off the strong leader quality just by looking at him. So he's a down to Earth kind of leader while still following the rules to an extent, he isn't cold blooded and calculated but he isn't lazy nor late nor mysterious, he's basically the right choice for a leader.
His speech to Naruto about his Kyuubi abilities vs. his own abilities shows he knows how to motivate people and how to get through to them, he sees through character well and understands people. A very good quality to posess as a leader. He can be comical but he doesn't flip a switch from comedy to super serious mode like Kakashi, he's a jack of all trades and does them well. He was picked personally by the Hokage for the latest mission, now it's true he has the abilities to control bijuu using the first's necklace, but if he were some random dropout ninja in a jail cell leading a different life, would the Hokage still have chosen him? His strength and skill outweigh his bijuu controlling ability when it comes right down to it, the hokage had to make a choice, and he fits the perfect set of skills for a leader so he was an obvious choice.
And to a lesser extent his forehead protector, albeit just a look alike of the second's, Kishimoto doesn't waste his time drawing things for no reason, his forehead protector might or might not play a larger role than just a flashy head piece, either way I think Kishimoto drew this to hint at Yamato being similar to the first two hokages (since they were brothers), or at the very least resembling the second hokage for a reason, Kishimoto wouldn't want fans to make that connection for no reason, and Yamato wouldn't wear it for no reason.
There are other little subtle hints as well most people probably pick up on (the Shodai/Yamato cover was very conspicuous), but I believe it's possible for a turn of events to have the position of hokage filled after Tsunade's term, by Yamato. But again I don't think it's likely just possible.
yeah i don't think it's likely, but it is possible. He's obviously capable, he keeps leading his team against orochimaru, which of course we all find ridiculously stupid, lmao. anyways, he's already made a connection to Naruto and witnessed first hand his power, He's got the firsts cells, so he can handle himself. you said it best, possible but not likely
I'd also like to point out Yamato means ancient Japan, IIRC. He seems to be a character filled with allusions to the first and second, the ancient times in Konoha before the wars. Even if he doesn't become hokage I think Kakashi has a rival for quot;coolest squad leader everquot; lol.
He is very very careful. He observes the situation fully before he acts. And he is level headed and brave despite the opposition he faces. UNlike Kakashi who shit his pants when he saw only two tails, Yamato dealt with it like the leader he was. Yes I know he had the power to subdue the chakra of the NineTails, but he didn't hesitate and he was deliberate in his actions.
He uses clones for everything that has a dangerous element to it. He uses jutsu to keep tabs on his teammates, so all they have to do is channel chakra and he knows they are in trouble. And he has Naruto under his thumb, just by looking at him in that creepy way. He is not a pervert, in fact when Naruto decided to have a peek at Sakura and the other girls in the hot baths, Yamato not only gave him the creepy look, but told him what happened to Jiraiya when he did that. This tells me that the ultimate jutsu (Mass Sexi no Jutsu) probably wouldn't even work on him...
He behaves like the 3rd, looks like the 2nd and has the powers of the 1st... He is hokage material, and if Kishi made him hokage, I would be happy for the character.
My god, I think I have just become a fanboy.
Hahah yeah I am quickly becoming a huge Yamato fan now after thinking about it seriously. Good points, he does seem to encompass all the traits of the first through third.
Yamato is a cool character . He's calm, careful and caring about his comrades . Even though i really don't think he stands much chance of being a Hokage, but yeah , it's possible . I like Yamato becoming the next Hokage than Kakashi .
and your theory makes me feel great love for Yamato gt;.gt;
I've always thought that Yamato would be good Hokage, much better than Kakashi Originally Posted by vanhand your theory makes me feel great love for Yamato gt;.gt;
I think this will bring you good Karma

Thank you . i always want to say that to all Shikatards or everyone when they say they love Shika
I agree with vanh. I don't see Yamata as the next hokage.
No, I like Yamato's personality and all, but he's not strong enough (and I'm a guy that doesn't believe that Kakashi would fit as the Hokage at all). If he was stronger and the circumstanses were different though, I wouldn't mind.

Not strong enough? What kinda strength are you talking about?
I'd also like to point out Yamato means ancient Japan, IIRC. He seems to be a character filled with allusions to the first and second, the ancient times in Konoha before the wars
i wonder what his real name is though...
I think Kakashi has a rival for quot;coolest squad leader everquot;
never

Do you love to do that, don't you?

Well to this date, he's never attacked or fought with Orochimaru or Kabuto yet. He has only used his abilities to protect, scout, bind etc., we have not seen him fight. We can't prove his offensive strength yet.
He's made no wasted movements or actions, he's basically a well rounded shinobi who has peak skills at everything we've seen (except fighting since we haven't seen that). Sounds like a perfect hokage, Yamato is reminding me of the young Yondaime.
So once Yamato starts fighting we can expect some pretty interesting stuff.. and when we see Yamato in his quot;if I don't find some way out of this situation, I'll diequot; moment like every other character has had in the series (except Sai), we might see his true abilities shine. If he's this good without even going on offense, he can only get better after he starts fighting.
A Yamato Hokage would be a great way to keep him in the story when Kakashi is better without just killing him off at the end of this arc (also known as the quot;ANBU members die.quot; clause).
Honestly, though, he has way too many parallels to other Hokage to ignore. I think there is a certain clique in Konoha who can only become Hokage. Teachers, students, and relitives mostly. For example: Shodai and Nidaime Hokage were brothers, Sandaime was trained by the Shodai and Nidaime, the Yondaime was trained by Jiraiya who was trained by Sandaime, and the Godaime was the granddaughter of the Shodai and also the student of the Sandaime.
Knowing that, here is the list of potential next Hokage following that model: Kakashi, Jiraiya, Orochimaru (ha), Sakura, Naruto, Konohamaru. We can ignore the last four altogether at this point. Kakashi and Jiraiya can't be confined by the village, really (Jiraiya collects information and is on the leave often, Kakashi is needed to lead team Kakashi). This is where Yamato comes in. He can be weaseled into the model above because he has the Shodai's DNA, which is an undoubtedly awesome thing to have (can you imagine a giant mokuton dome around the village when it was under siege? Badass I say).
So, I think there are two possible candidates for the next Hokage and they are Kakashi or Yamato. In the case of the former, Yamato can permanently take over team Kakashi. I see a Hokage Kakashi more likely at this point, but wow, a Hokage Yamato would be very cool.
That's my 2 cents.
No I dont see Kakashi as a hokage. He is insane, and irresponsible. He is one of the coolest characters in the series, but his failure with Sasuke has me pretty much in doubt about his overall influence on people who don't know his reputation fully. He is a badass which is why the other ANBU respect him, but I see Yamato's respect of Kakashi and form thereof as the kind of modesty I would expect from a leader I would respect.
Yamato on the other hand is serious, and it is rubbing off on Naruto. And I'm sorry if I were a shinobi, I would be more comfortable with Yamato being my leader than Kakashi. Kakashi is too confident in his own abilities, whereas Yamato is more cautious and follows Kakashi's motto of Teamwork a helluva lot more. He doesn't rush into combat, instead he observes and waits for the right time to strike.
Yamato takes control of the situation when conflicts arise within the group, as oppose to Kakashi who let's it happen and can only sigh with resignation. Both Naruto and Sai listen to Yamato when they piss him off and so far it's because of Yamato that the group has not splintered into chaos.
I think I have said enough. Yamato would make a far more effective hokage than Kakashi, due to two different mindsets. Kakashi would most likely beat Yamato in a fight, but if there was a group vs. group fight between Team Kakashi and Team Yamato, Team Yamato would win hands down.
In saying this however, do I expect Yamato to become Hokage? No. There is already a 5th, the next spot is slated for Naruto IMO.
Fanboy signing out.

I'm not so sure about that...wasn't Kakashi called Konoha's number 1 tactician?;]on topic:
He probably has what it takes but I don't think he'll become Hokage
We haven't seen Yamato fight we don't know how strong he is.
does yamato even have the 1000 jutsu thing down?
Sometimes I wonder if Tsunade does.
I think that idea was more or less scrapped and Kishimoto hopes everyone forgot about it XD |
