There is a lot of fan discussion as to who the next Hokage will be. Usually Naruto and Sasuke are mentioned. I do not want to discuss that, but the more relevant question. Why will a 6th Hokage be needed? I mean the 5th is still alive (assuming IT is cancelled, but if it isn't there will be no 6th Hokage), and the first four have been risen and given free will.
