all that and a can of beans

So I just had this great spoiler for the Naruto manga. Usually I abhor them, but this was really my fault for not paying attention, and anyway it's such a cool spoiler that I am all a-glee over it, way too giddy to be sad.

Kakashi's gonna be the HOKAGE!

I don't know how or why or when (I'll read to find out, don't tell me), but if this is true, then it's huge smiles from me. Fans have been speculating that he'd be chosen next for ages now, especially since Tsunade is a lot older than she looks and Naruto won't be ready for years to come. Plus, it's just COOL.

The only cooler idea was the Naruto Primer joke that Shikamaru would be a "temporary" Hokage for about ten years... probably not because he was the strongest but because the village decided they ought to try selecting someone on intellectual capacity, at least until Naruto was properly ready.

Anyway, that's literally all I know, and I got that from a fanart with a one-line spoiler comment, but I'm delighted. I feel this desire to write Sakura/Rokudaime!Kakashi drabbles now.

I'm actually going to second Vit here. I used to feel the same way you do about Sasuke. We even talked about it a few times, I think (my journal name used to be ladyjessamyn, I changed it recently. We used to have some interesting conversations when I first got into Naruto). But the recent developments have made me interested in his role in the plot again AND made me sympathize with him again. And I didn't think that was possible.

I'm not saying you'll have the same reaction I did, when you catch up, and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't (a lot of people haven't). Sasuke's a difficult character to like a lot of the time. But. Just stating my personal experience. XD
