The first chapter of the manga “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” has officially been released to the public, marking the beginning of an exciting new arc.
The storyline opens with the significant changes in the abilities of Eida, which have led to a powerful upheaval in the Hidden Leaf Village. The positions of Boruto and Kawaki have been swapped, while Naruto has been declared missing.
One of the most notable changes is Shikamaru stepping into the role of Hokage. This decision has sparked considerable debate within the community of devoted fans. Many people are questioning the strength of his ability to “carry the village.” Despite being a brilliant strategist with unique skills, Shikamaru’s ascension to the leadership role of the Hidden Leaf Village has raised eyebrows.
Key Features and Unique Skills of Shikamaru
Nara Shikamaru possesses an exceptional intellect that stands out in the ninja world. He also plays a crucial role in numerous missions. From his very first day as a genin, his unique intellect and strategic foresight helped him become a key figure in battles alongside his peers. His exceptional talent was highlighted during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Moreover, Shikamaru is not just a military strategist. He has also emerged as a political advisor, capable of understanding complex situations and making crucial decisions. Throughout his journey, he has showcased remarkable diplomatic skills, earning respect and building collaborative relationships. However, such relationships can also play a vital role in Konoha’s development on the global stage.
Comparing Shikamaru with Other Candidates
Although characters like Sakura and Kakashi possess stronger individual abilities, Shikamaru’s strengths are closely tied to his specialization. Would it be reasonable to consider Sakura for Hokage? While Kakashi is renowned, he is no longer suitable due to age and environmental changes. Sasuke, due to his connections with Boruto, can no longer be considered a fitting candidate either.
Additionally, the deep relationship between Shikamaru and Naruto further solidifies his candidacy for Hokage. He understands Naruto’s goals and values, ensuring a seamless transition while preserving the legacy that Naruto has built.
