Reviews for The Hokage We Need
Guest chapter 16 . 7/21
So I’m gonna guess next Christmas
Kage-Shino chapter 4 . 7/16
I think you mean Shogi. Mahjong, although also played with tiles on a board and being of Japanese orgin, is a very different game. Shogi is similar to chess, and was referenced multiple times in Naruto, especially with Shikaku, Shikamaru, and Asuma, whereas Mahjong is not.

This has some odd differences from cannon.
Haydoge chapter 2 . 6/16
Cannonically, Naruto has never eaten more than 17 bowls of Ichiraku Ramen in one sitting.

This has quickly become a favourite story of mine, we definitely need more young hokage Naruto on this site
Storygeek07 chapter 2 . 5/11
This is good, however, I don’t think they would allow Naruto to become Hokage if he was still at that low of a level. He literally had to defeat gods before he became Hokage, though that was mostly due to the fact that he could defeat gods and was needed in battle instead of an office.

I loved the story, and too bad you stopped before the villagers' reaction. Quite a shame, really, but oh well.
LolieG chapter 16 . 5/1
Please tell me you’ll update again one day? I really want to know the villager’s reactions to Naruto as well as the secrets of Konoha & Minato.

roguekrown chapter 10 . 3/30
Like the story plot and interaction but This story is extremely slow I generally don’t like fast paced stories and sometimes normal pace but this story feels like your on a treadmill and your not going any where. due to how long the chapters are and how the story plot is this is very slow I know the missions aren’t a huge focus but something of the land of waves which is an escort mission should have been over by now and the Suna mission is also slow but I like the story but pls fix the pacing if you see it flawed.

Ah I love it
MegaDarkly chapter 16 . 3/2
To be honest, the story was pretty good. It was nice to see Hokage like things and the inner workings of being a Hokage.

Although, there are a few things that I didn't like and I'll list them out here because that's just what I do and they bother me for reasons I'll list out.

First thing is Naruto's unrealistic maturity. It seems in the story, you tend to bounce around with how you portray Naruto as a person. He acts a little childish sometimes and then other times, he acts like a 30 year old man. Now, I know you're trying to make Naruto put on a facade specifically for his role of Hokage, but I can not and will not disregard his comments like he knows what teenage girls are like as if hes higher than them or an adult. Also, there were other times that he acted too mature for his age. Naruto was really starting to sound OOC many times in different chapters. It's annoying. Try to stay consistent with your characters.

Second, having Minato be a weird DNA clone was highly unnecessary and adds nothing to the story. You're probably trying to give Tsunade a reason to come back to Konoha, but its lame and sounds entirely out of a fanfic which is what you shouldn't go for ironically. Plus, you pretty much weakened Minato as a character. He used to be a Hokage who married a hot headed girl that he loved and sacrificed himself for a village and his son. Now, hes just a clone who had a family and was always under Orochimarus eye. He's a fake.

Third, the unnecessary addition of gay couples. Personally, I have no problem with gay relationships, but I do have a problem with these relationships being shoehorned in just because you felt the need to write them. I get that it's your story and you can do whatever you want, but I do like to point these obvious writing mistakes out. They are writing mistakes because you're writing them without really thinking whether its necessary. If you wanted to write these pairings then please write a separate story for them. This story was not a place for that.

Fourthly, your story is extremely long winded. While it is indeed interesting that the Sarutobi family is having a private viewing of the Third, it does not mean that we need an entire backstory on them. There are many things you could write that only need to be written in a couple of sentences, but yet you write 5 or 6 paragraphs for. Your character Shisala was interesting, but you didn't need an entire chapter pretty much on a fight. You didnt need a lot of things and many things could have been either cut or shaved down. Not just in those two that I mentioned, but in many other places too. It's too much to list here. Its appalling that you've written as much as you have and only a couple of weeks have passed. I wrote an entire story in 130k words. You've exceeded my mark and nothing much has progressed other than Narutos inauguration. If you expect 100 chapters, then I'm most likely going to expect over 1 million words for a story that could be told in 300k. Look, I know how hard it is to filter what's important and what's not needed because you want to write everything so no one is asking questions. But when you write this much and dont really move the story forward, it drags the story down and now all of us readers are basically being forced to trudge through a muddy swamp when we could be walking on dry land. I'm not saying we should be riding a car. I'm just saying we want to walk on land.

Finally, I'd like to leave with this. Your story is good, but it started slowly falling off the deep end once it hit the end of the Suna Coup. To be honest, I was expecting a canon interpretation on what would happen if Naruto became Hokage early. I was entirely okay with Naruto being trained by Jiraiya as well. It wasnt until the whole DNA clone and random pairings(I get your reasoning because they're pairings of people who've been around each other a long time, but that doesn't mean that I find it realistic) that I really started to dislike the story. Tsunade was stuck on Dan and Sakura and Ino both were pretty damn straight if canon is anything to go by. That said, if these things weren't in the story, I'd continue to read it once you started to update again, but since you haven't updated in forever and added to the fact that you already made these things part of your story and will not change it because it's already set in stone, then I cant continue with this story unfortunately. I hope you learn from my criticism and not get offended by it because its merely constructive criticism, but I also dont want you to take it lightly.

On that note,

Later
