Naruto is a capable leader

[itachi1000]

As dumb as he is, Naruto has demonstrated great leadership skills in very serious situations, like for example.

1. When he told Kakashi and everyone else that he would deal with Kakuzu by himself and succeeding.

2. During the Invasion of Pain Arc, he told Tsunade that he would deal Pain by himself and that everyone else in the village to stay out of the way, in the end he became a hero.

3. After the Five Kage Summit, he told his friends that he'll be the one to deal with Sasuke and that they should stay out of the way, to which they agreed.

4. During the war, one of his clones told Gaara and Onoki told deal with the Mizukage while he dealt with the Raikage, to which they agreed.

5. The rest of his clones across the battlefield were directing the Shinobi Alliance to where the White Zetsu's.

6. Lastly, ever since he unlocked Bijuu Mode, he basically put himself in charge despite Kakashi and Guy being there up until the point where the Shinobi Alliance arrived to help him.

We would these count as demonstrations of Naruto's leadership skills?

[Hipster Madara]

Please, he got lucky.
He is over confident.

[Arcane Angel]

Please, he got lucky.
He is over confident.

Like the certain character that you happen to adore?

[Twin Steps]

That still doesn't make him a capable leader

[Kages]

Not good enough to be Hokage but very capable of leading

[Omnipotent]

It doesn't matter what he is as of now, it's been foreshadowed over and over that he will become the greatest Hokage:

[Omaristar]

I agree but what you listed are not traits of leadership.

[new sage of 6 paths]

He's a leader,he inspired the alliance,thats all thats needed.

[Lord of the Kings]

He will become too prideful then fall so hard like madara

[★Armstrong]

he is...but i cant agree with what u stated

[luffichinaru]

naruto is very capable of being hokage since even luffy is captain of a crew...

[fattmatt]

Yeah i feel you

[The Hidden Shinobi]

Him saying all the time he will handle this that this that and this pisses me off. That's why we never get to see anyone else in action. But anyway itachi set him straight.

[Omnipotent]

Him saying all the time he will handle this that this that and this pisses me off. That's why we never get to see anyone else in action. But anyway itachi set him straight.

That's selflessness. He's willing to die for others, as shown in basically every tough fight he's been in.

I mean, it's the same way Hiruzen was about to act:


And the same way Tobirama acted:


It's like a characteristic of Hokage or Hokage-to-be.
