Naruto Is a Humorous Person

Naruto is a humorous person who often faces the world with a carefree and cheerful face. However, sometimes he uses his smile to mask his inner anxiety so that others won't worry about him. To outsiders, he seems like a person who takes things easy, but his friends can often see the worries buried deep in his heart.

Naruto's faith is unwavering. He always believes that people can find light and justice. At the same time, he is also very rational, understanding that the path to justice "is not an easy one, and one will encounter countless difficulties and obstacles on that path." He also values the friendship between his comrades and keeps in mind Kakashi's (Obito Uchiha's ) motto. "In the ninja world, those who cannot complete their missions are trash, and those who abandon their comrades are even worse than trash."

Although Naruto may seem slow-witted and reckless, he is not stupid. In battle, he often comes up with many brilliant and unique tactics and clever ideas. For example, his Transformation Technique against Kiba Inuzuka, his clones to lure the enemy against Kakuzu, and his use of the Third Raikage's Ultimate Spear to break through his Ultimate Shield are all examples that show that Naruto is not a reckless person.

Sarada Uchiha Sarada's goal is to become Naruto. Influenced by Naruto, she aspires to be Naruto. Currently the sole heir of the Uchiha Clan, if she successfully becomes Naruto in the future, she will be the first Uchiha to hold this Naruto. It's unlikely Sarada will become the Eighth Uchiha Clan, but perhaps the Ninth. Just like how everyone thought Naruto would become the Sixth Naruto, but Kakashi did, which was unexpected, especially since the Fifth Naruto, Tsunade, was still alive at that time.

We've all forgotten that the Naruto wasn't chosen only after the previous one died. When Tsunade became Naruto, the Third Hokage had just been killed by Orochimaru. This plot point is so profound that many people have forgotten this rule.

In Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Konohamaru Sarutobi Konohamaru Sarutobi to have become the kind of mentor Kakashi used to lead Team 7. If he follows Kakashi's path, Konohamaru Sarutobi might very well become the Eighth Naruto.

After all, his childhood dream was the same as Naruto's: to become Naruto. It's unclear whether Konohamaru Sarutobi still remembers his childhood dream now, as he rarely mentions it anymore. Furthermore, his strength is vastly different from Naruto 'Kakashi back then! His Rasengan is practically useless, leaving netizens frustrated. Hopefully, he'll learn some other overpowered skills in the future!

In addition, Konohamaru Sarutobi also has connections; his grandfather was the Third Naruto, and his teacher who taught him the Rasengan was the Seventh Naruto. With such connections, he's only a little bit short of becoming the Eighth Naruto.

Himawari Uzumaki, Himawari still a child and not yet in the Ninja Academy, possesses the greatest potential to become Naruto. Her brother, Boruto Uzumaki, has no interest in the Naruto position and aspires to be a traveling ninja like Sasuke. One episode explores Himawari's future goals, showcasing her extensive travels and exposure to various professions, yet she seems to disdain them all. For instance, Tenten and Ino Yamanaka both own shops (though in different fields), Sakura is a doctor, Shino Aburame a teacher.

In that episode, Himawari also experienced the life of a ninja mission, where she made several friends. Her ability is the pressure point technique that both Naruto, Nine-Tails, and Boruto fear. If she sets her sights on Naruto in the future, she's sure to be a dark horse.

Shikadai Nara, while as lazy as his father and lacking grand ambitions, has inherited the Nara Clan's intelligence. He's still young, but through continuous ninja missions, he will become a strategist no less capable than his father. As for why he has the opportunity to become Naruto...?

According to Naruto: Shippuden, the higher-ups in Konoha could recommend their chosen candidates to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire as the next or the next after Naruto. Danzō recommended Orochimaru, and the Third Hokage recommended Minato Namikaze.

Since Boruto doesn't want to become Naruto, Naruto won't force him. Naruto might recommend Sarada, and others who appreciate Shikadai will also recommend him. As long as the Land of Fire Daimyo approves, he can become Naruto. As for Huang Meng, being Konohamaru Sarutobi's peer and childhood friend, it's rumored that Huang Meng also has Kekkei Genkai? Although she didn't appear much in the early stages, in terms of the plot, before the story ends, it's impossible to guarantee that a character who doesn't appear much initially won't become more active later.

The title of "Kage" represents a village and symbolizes a nation. Those who are bestowed with the title of "Kage" are all recognized as strong individuals. Just as Itachi told Naruto, "It's not that you become Naruto to gain everyone's recognition, but rather that you gain everyone's recognition to become Naruto." To become a "Kage," one needs not only extraordinary strength but also absolute leadership skills. Furthermore, one must be loved and respected by everyone, because the responsibility of a "Kage" is not only to protect everyone but also to lead them onto a better path. Therefore, not just anyone can become a "Kage."

The Naruto of Konoha has come and gone seven times, from the First Naruto, Hashirama Senju, to our Seventh Naruto Naruto. I'm so happy that Naruto achieved his dream of becoming Naruto. I've witnessed his Naruto step by step, from initially seeing it as just a Naruto to now seeing Naruto as his mission. I've seen that Naruto completely. The difference between a goal and a mission is immense. So, who will be the Naruto of Konoha after Naruto? The only person I can think of in the entire Konoha is Shikamaru Nara from the Nara Clan!

★The Eighth Naruto, Shikamaru Nara ★ Shikamaru Nara was a ninja of the same era as Naruto partner and most trusted confidant, someone Naruto could entrust his back to. Shikamaru is a descendant of the Nara Clan, a clan that uses a ninjutsu that manipulates their shadows, a clan secret technique. Masashi Kishimoto Shikamaru was quite deliberate. "Shikamaru Nara" refers to a district in Japan at the time, and the deer from that district were very famous. Kishimoto named Shikamaru after this. One wonders what Shikamaru Nara would think if Shikamaru knew the origin of his name?

Will Kishimoto [Shadow Stabbing Technique] to turn Kishimoto into a hedgehog? Besides Shikamaru's name having a story behind it, their trio [Ino–Shika–Chō] also has a rich backstory. This Ino–Shika–Chō comes from a Japan card game with 48 cards, but unlike modern playing cards, it doesn't have numbers; instead, it has different suits. The game divides the 48 cards into 12 months, each with four different suits. The winner is the player who collects the Ino–Shika–Chō cards. Not only are Shikamaru and Ino–Shika–Chō's names chosen so casually, but even our protagonist Naruto's is. In the manga, the name Uzumaki Naruto was Jiraiya came up with by chance while eating ramen, and it was also the author's idea. As expected, you're the author; you can write whatever you want, right?

Who can blame him for being so amazing! ★The Reasons Shikamaru Became the Eighth Naruto ★ Everyone knows that not just anyone can become Naruto; the Naruto are extremely stringent. So, what makes Shikamaru the Eighth Naruto? ☆①A Genius with an IQ Over 200: The Nara Clan shares a common trait—extremely high intelligence. Shikamaru is no exception. His father, Shikaku Nara Shikamaru, saved the entire Shinobi Alliance during the Fourth Shinobi World War thanks to his exceptional intelligence. Unfortunately, the command center was struck by the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, and Shikaku and everyone in the command center perished.

Shikamaru succeeded his father in commanding the battle, and he surpassed his father in many ways. With his high intelligence, he led everyone to defend against the Ten-Tails' attack and successfully saved the Shinobi Alliance. After the great battle, Shikamaru was invited to be the Naruto's assistant and help Naruto handle affairs. Shikamaru not only became Naruto's assistant but also the Sixth Kakashi's assistant. His abilities were unanimously recognized.

☆② Exceptional Ninja Strength: Shikamaru not only possesses exceptional intelligence, but his strength is also formidable. As a ninja, he became a Jonin at a young age and even served as the proctor during Naruto 'Chunin Exams, demonstrating that his abilities are recognized by Konoha Shikamaru leadership. Shikamaru's ninjutsu is highly practical, especially excelling in long-range attacks. He can manipulate his shadows to move at high speeds and capture the shadows of his enemies. Once a shadow is captured, the target is bound and becomes a puppet at his mercy. This ninjutsu not only binds opponents but also has offensive capabilities; he can use his shadows to unleash spikes to kill them. Don't be fooled by Shikamaru's lazy demeanor; he's playing dumb to outmaneuver his opponents.

☆③Political Background: Shikamaru is absolutely loyal to Konoha. He is the inheritor and promoter of the "Will of Fire." He participated in the Fourth Shinobi World War, contributing his strength to the peace of the ninja world and performing exceptionally well during the war, saving everyone more than once. Even his own father sacrificed himself in this war, making him a true heir to the cause of loyalty and sacrifice. He also served as an assistant to the Naruto, and his competence is beyond question, making him a reliable person to entrust with tasks.

☆④ Peace and development become the themes of Naruto: After Naruto became Naruto, the overall situation of the ninja world was settled, and peace and development became the themes of this period. People were pursuing a better life, and war had been far removed from this world. At this time, Shikamaru was more suitable to be Naruto than anyone else. His political acumen was especially important at this time. Konoha needed someone like him who understood human relationships to lead them. I dare say that Konoha after Naruto would be unprecedentedly prosperous and powerful under Shikamaru's leadership.

After a long war, a new era of rapid growth begins. To prepare for the Chunin Exams, Sasuke's daughter Sarada Uchiha, the excellent genin Mitsuki, and Boruto Uzumaki undergo various training exercises at the village's training grounds.

The first test was an intellectual challenge, while the second test required teamwork. Boruto, constantly overcoming difficulties, finally faced Shikamaru's son in the individual fighting arena of the third test, witnessed by the Five Kage.

Just then, a massive explosion distorted space, revealing a duo calling themselves Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki. Manipulating the Sharingan in their hands, they were determined to take Naruto's life, and ultimately, Naruto was taken away by them.

Having learned for the first time about the path his father had walked and understanding his longing for him, Boruto, along with Sasuke (whose young figure overlapped with that of young Naruto), and the Five Kage, entered an alternate dimension where enemies awaited them, launching a challenge with a death wish.

The highest ruler of Konoha Village is the Naruto. From the First Hokage Hashirama Senju Naruto, the Second Naruto Senju Clan Tobirama, the Third Naruto Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Fourth Hokage Naruto Minato Namikaze, the Fifth Naruto Tsunade, the Sixth Hokage Hatake Kakashi, to Naruto Naruto in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations: Naruto Next Generations, as time has passed, it has unknowingly developed to the seventh generation.

Whether in the manga or the anime, the topic of Naruto's death has been a subject of ongoing debate since the release of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. However, the official explanation has not been clear, and our discussions are all speculative, so we will not delve into that further.

This analysis focuses on who would be the next Naruto if Naruto died. Considering that all Naruto have some commonalities, namely that both intelligence and strength are indispensable, even the weakest, Hatake Kakashi, was still top-notch in terms of strength and had a highly developed mind. When Naruto defeated Kaguya Otsutsuki, he was the strongest in the Shinobi World, but he did not become Naruto directly. Instead, he was trained for many years.

Therefore, I immediately ruled out Shikamaru Nara. In terms of intelligence, few people are as smart as Shikamaru Nara; it's just that his strength hasn't reached Kage-level. Next, let's analyze who became Naruto after Naruto's death.

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki are on the same level; both their intellect and strength meet the requirements for the Hokage. In other words, Sasuke Uchiha is the most qualified to become the Eighth Hokage. The problem lies with Sasuke's background; he was the last generation of the Uchiha clan during a turbulent period and experienced events such as becoming a rogue ninja. His life was destined to protect Konoha from the shadows, just like his brother Itachi Uchiha. Crucially, this was Sasuke Uchiha's own choice.

Boruto Uzumaki is Naruto Uzumaki's son and the main character of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations." Originally, Boruto had a very high chance of becoming Hokage, always saying that his goal was to become Hokage. However, after experiencing some things and becoming Sasuke Uchiha's apprentice, Boruto's ultimate goal became to become a man like Sasuke Uchiha, someone who stands behind the Hokage and protects Konoha Village. This greatly reduced his chances of becoming Hokage.

Sarada Uchiha is Sasuke Uchiha's daughter. Given Tsunade's example, becoming Hokage isn't gender-specific. Furthermore, it's often said that the Uchiha clan owes a Hokage in Naruto, and Sarada's dream is to become Hokage, making her character setting quite reasonable. However, even if Sarada becomes Hokage, she'll only be the Ninth Hokage, as she's too young. Even if Naruto Uzumaki dies, it won't be her turn unless Naruto has been Hokage for many years.

Sarutobi Konohamaru Sarutobi, grandson of the Third Naruto Hiruzen Sarutobi, is currently considered the most likely candidate to become the Eighth Naruto. Besides his dream of becoming Naruto, he has grown significantly in both strength and intellect, and is already in his twenties. Unless he sacrifices himself prematurely for Konoha like Jiraiya, becoming Naruto is only a matter of time. Finally, there's Hatake Kakashi. Considering the Fourth Hokage Naruto's untimely death and the lack of a suitable successor, and the Third Naruto's reappearance to assume Naruto position, if Naruto suddenly, Hatake Kakashi would likely take over the Naruto position again.

Konoha Village is modernizing with the arrival of peace. High-rise buildings stand tall, images are displayed on huge screens, and trams connecting different areas run through the village. Although it is a ninja village, the number of ordinary people has also increased, and the way of life for ninjas is gradually changing. In this era, Boruto, the son of the village leader and the Seventh Naruto, Naruto, enters the Ninja Academy for training ninjas.

The students around him view Boruto with prejudice, seeing him as the Naruto's son, but Boruto easily overcomes this with his naturally unconventional personality! Boruto meets new friends, and how will he tackle the sudden, mysterious events? The story of Boruto Uzumaki rushing through everyone's hearts, begins now!

A review of the relationships Hashirama Konoha's seven current Naruto makes it clear: Hashirama, the First Naruto, established the village and became the first Naruto solely through his immense strength and charisma, which subsequently led to a pseudo-hereditary system.

The Third Naruto was a disciple of Naruto First and Second Naruto; the Fourth Hokage Naruto was a disciple of Jiraiya was a disciple of the Third Naruto. Originally, the Fifth Naruto should have been Jiraiya, even though Jiraiya the Fifth Hokage. Historically, the Fifth Tsunade, Tsunade, was also a disciple of the Third Hokage and a descendant of the First Hokage; the Sixth Naruto, Kakashi, was a disciple of the Fourth Hokage; and the Seventh Naruto, Naruto, was a disciple of Jiraiya and Kakashi, and also the son of the Fourth Hokage.

In conclusion, the Naruto is a hereditary system, with a small circle controlling the fate of the entire ninja village. Logically, the Eighth Naruto must also be a member of this circle, and must have a very close relationship with previous Naruto. Based on the current storyline, the three most likely candidates for the Eighth Naruto are: Konohamaru Sarutobi, Sarada, and Boruto. Let's examine the background information of these three individuals with close ties to the Hokage.

Konohamaru Sarutobi is the grandson of the Third Naruto, a true descendant of the Hokage! Konohamaru Sarutobi was also Naruto's loyal follower in his childhood. Although he wasn't exactly Naruto's disciple, he was a nominal disciple, and even so, he is the only one in the entire Naruto who can truly be called Naruto's disciple.

Sarada is the daughter of Sasuke and Sakura, and one of the strongest contenders Sarada the Eighth Naruto. After all, her father is Sasuke, who is on par with Naruto, and her mother is Naruto's classmate and one of the legendary Team 7 trio.

Furthermore, Sarada has aspired to become Naruto since childhood, so the probability of her Naruto is very high. However, considering her age, she is likely to become the Ninth Naruto, after all, there was Konohamaru Sarutobi before her. Boruto 'Boruto background is also formidable; his father is the Naruto, his grandfather is the Naruto, and he has the protagonist's halo—even the entire manga is named after him! According to the established setting, if he wanted to become the Eighth Naruto, it would be a simple matter of a word. However, Boruto's ambitions lie elsewhere. Currently, he doesn't seem particularly enthusiastic about becoming Naruto, but rather wants to become a Shadow figure like Sasuke.

After Naruto, the person who can smoothly succeed him as the Eighth Naruto is undoubtedly the elite of the Sarutobi Clan, Naruto's eldest disciple, Sarutobi Konohamaru Sarutobi. However, there may be some doubts about Sarutobi Konohamaru Sarutobi's strength, but there are three points that prove he has the strength to succeed Naruto.

First, there's Konohamaru Sarutobi's strength among his contemporaries. There aren't many known ninjas of Konohamaru Sarutobi's generation, and among them, he's arguably the most capable. This is evidenced in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. Shino Aburame, now a teacher at the Ninja Academy, has personally stated that Konohamaru Sarutobi is the most outstanding Konohamaru Sarutobi of his generation.

Secondly, because of Naruto's connection, Konohamaru Sarutobi will inevitably go to Mount Myoboku for Sage Jutsu training in the future. This tradition, starting with Jiraiya, has been followed by almost every generation of disciples who have gone to Mount Myoboku for Sage Jutsu training. Kakashi is an exception; the Fourth Hokage's departure was rather abrupt, and Kakashi may not have been arranged to go to Mount Myoboku for Sage Jutsu training. However, the probability of Konohamaru Sarutobi going to Mount Myoboku for training is extremely high. This is best evidenced by the fact that his summoning beast is a toad, and his relationship with it is very good. After the Fourth Shinobi World War, a ninja who can master Sage Jutsu will definitely be among the strongest Shinobi World.

Thirdly, there's the bloodline Konohamaru Sarutobi possesses. Although the Sarutobi Clan isn't as powerful as major clans like the Senju Clan, Uchiha Clan, Uzumaki, or Hyūga, and doesn't possess the Otsutsuki Clan's bloodline with a touch of divinity, the Sarutobi Clan is still renowned in the Shinobi World. They've produced powerful figures like Sasuke Sarutobi and Hiruzen Sarutobi, who possessed all five elemental chakra natures. Therefore, Sarutobi Konohamaru Sarutobi actually has some bloodline advantages compared to ordinary ninjas, even if these advantages aren't obvious, they are real.

Naruto and Sasuke, one in the open and one in the shadows, completely resolved their differences after the battle at the Valley of the End and joined forces to protect Konoha. Their combat strength was roughly equal, but Sasuke was even slightly more strategic.

The relationship between these two is like an optimized version of the Third Hokage and Danzō, only stronger, and with fewer conflicts. If Naruto were to choose the next Naruto, Sasuke would definitely be part of the plan. However, since Naruto and Sasuke are inseparable, if something happens to Naruto, Sasuke would be left to fend for himself. Becoming the village's "Shadow" is no problem, but becoming Naruto would be more difficult.

Konohamaru Sarutobi and Naruto share many similarities: both aspired to Naruto from a young age, mastered the essential Naruto technique Rasengan, and both have impeccable lineage —Konohamaru Sarutobi one is the son of the Fourth Hokage Minato, Minato, and the other is the grandson of the Third Hokage.

This is why many people speculate that Konohamaru Sarutobi is the most likely candidate to succeed Naruto as Naruto. However, Konohamaru Sarutobi's performance in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations has been quite mediocre. He lacks the vigor and drive he had in Naruto: Shippuden and seems content to be just a teacher. Furthermore, his actual strength has not improved much over the years. In addition, the Sarutobi clan is no longer what it used to be, so Konohamaru Sarutobi would need to make a remarkable comeback to become Naruto.

Boruto Uzumaki may say he doesn't want to be Naruto, but his actions certainly live up to it. After all, it's Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, the protagonist doesn't seem to train much, and he's bombarded with all sorts of overpowered ninjutsu. One of the essential requirements to Naruto is to manage village affairs while also being the village's strongest fighter. Given Boruto's current potential, this is practically guaranteed. Plus, his father was the previous Naruto, so if Boruto wanted to, becoming Naruto next would be a sure thing. Don't think Boruto doesn't want to be Naruto; even Sasuke didn't have this ambition back then, but he still ended up competing for the Naruto position. Besides, Sasuke is now Boruto's mentor.
