@KK2 Just because he lost Shukaku doesn't mean he gets kicked out of Kage position. Kages serve for life. He could've retired but he didn't. He is also powerful enough even without Shukaku. If jinchuriki were to automatically become Kages, then Kakashi and Darui would've never stepped up to the plate; it'd be Naruto and B instead.
