Naruto - Konoha's next hokage debate

(update: Defro and I were too busy to debate in the past week which is why we both forfeited round 3. Hopefully this time, we can finish the debate)Thank you Defro for pointing out my mistake (lol) Naruto is my favourite character but for the purpose of this debate I will have to go against him.Why Shikamaru makes a better Hokage than NarutoArgument 1 : Shikamaru is smarter than NarutoShikamaru is a genius when it comes to devising strategies as I've mentioned before. He has an IQ of 200 and his intellect has been noticed by both his enemies and teachers. Naruto is sometimes clumsy and in the past has been called incompetent. Although he has improved since part II, he is not up to the level that Shikamaru is.And even in part II there are times where he can be seen not understanding a jutsu or not understanding complex ideas. Such as when he was training for Sage mode and he had trouble understand the mechanism of how it worked Also during the whole story he is known to feet that most big ideas were too complicated and he has been known to say, "that sounds hard" when someone is explaining something to him. And during the first part of the chuunin exam he failed the test. It was a test to see how well the students could copy other people's work and while most of his friends suceeded, including Shikamaru, his sheet was blank. In this way, Shikamaru is smarter than Naruto in terms of thinking and analysing which are qualitites that a Hokage should have when you are governing a village with many complex systems.Argument 2 : Has more experience as a leader than NarutoThe reason why Shikamaru is a great leader is because he can improvise ways to defeat the enemies using his soldiers and carefully picking the right teammate to fight with specific opponents. Although he sometimes lacks motivation, it allows him to become calm and think clearly without making mistakes,Though he lacks motivation, this allows him to think clearly without becoming overly excited. These qualities were recognized by others for they could see he was a great leader, worthy of becoming a chunin. - http://www.giantbomb.com... And as I've mentioned before, he has lots of experience being a leader. He was made the captain of his team and in the Madara Uchiha battle arc he commands an entire army as the proxy commander of the 'long range battle division' or the Fourth Division - (1) http://naruto.wikia.com...In this arc, he managed to seal his old mentor Asuma together with his team. Asuma congragulated them on their perfect teamwork - (1). And the teamwork is thanks to Shikamaru being a brilliant strategist and leader.He also has experience in being a teacher of students. During the interval between part I and part II in Naruto's departure with Jiraiya, Shikamaru was appointed as an academy instructor much like Iruka-sensei. Later in part II he worked with Temari to be liaisons for the chuunin exams.And in the fight with Hidan and Kakuzu, both formidable akatsuki members. His team, including Kakashi and naruto, defeated them. It was Shikamaru who lead everyone during the battle and even gave orders to Kakashi. He managed to single-handedly trap Hidan and kill Kakuzu for a second time.Plus in the Sasuke retrieval ark, he got the chance to understand most of his teammates abilites and skills as their captain. If he becomes hokage, he knows his teammates limits and capabilities which allows him to use them more efficiently for missions than any one in Konoha.With so much experience being a leader, Shikamaru may have no problems at all at being a Hokage. Naruto however has only one leadership experience with Konohamaru but in almost all missions has never been a leader or a captain.ConclusionWhile it may be true that Naruto is stronger than Shikamaru in brute force such as Taijutsu or Ninjutsu, it just means that he shouldn't be Hokage but run a military position instead where his skills can be used immediately.The hokage is likely to sift through loads of paperwork and sit in a chair, not doing missions themselves. Shikamaru being someone who avoids fights as much as possible would be better off being Hokage whereas Naruto is someone who wants action and a sense of 'doing' when his friends are in danger. Shikamaru is smarter and has more experience of being a leader than Naruto. This is what makes him a better candidate for being the next hokage.
