ALL POSTSShould Suigetsu have been picked for Mizukage instead of Chojuro?
<p>In my honest opinion, Chojuro is not Kage level. All he has is the sword Hiramekarei, while it makes him competent take that away and he is just an average shinobi with potent kenjutsu skills. I am aware that Suigetsu deserted the mist village but im pretty sure it can be forgiven(Sasuke's case), plus i'm sure they can use all the help they can get. If we are talking merit in terms of power, the second strongest Mist ninja other than Mei Terumi is Suigetsu and he would mop the floor with Chojuro.
</p><p>Honestly the only true competent swordmen of the mist were Zabuza, Kisame, Mangetsu(Suigetsu’s brother) and Suigetsu, also Shizuma(to an extent). The rest were just swordmen that were nothing without their swords.
</p><p>If it was up to me, Suigetsu should replace Chojuro as Mizukage and Kagura should come after that.

Kage is not a position determined by strength. It's decided by one's capacity to lead. Suigetsu is the worst leader out there, whereas Chojuro had shown some resolve and capacity as a ninja and could easily bloom into a ninja. Being a Swordsman in the village of Swordsmen would also give him some respect.

<p>pretty much this. a real kage has knowledge, is wise, willing to sacrifice things for others, etc. suigetsu is none of those, except for the fact that kage ALSO NEEDS POWERS TO DO ALL OF THE ABOVE, meaning that chojuro is not the best choice either. BUT/AND YET, CHOJURO HAS, FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE WILL OF FIRE (OR WATER, IN THIS CASE), WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT GOES PURELY AGAISNT SUIGETSU. </p>

<p>I dont see how Chojiro is weak... he was one of the 7 Swordsmen, all of whom were high Jonin-Kage level fighters.

<p>The main point here I think is that Chojuro hasn't shown anything (yet) but his swordmanship. As it is now, should he lose Hiramekarei - or pass it to Kagura - he will lose his only source of true strength. </p><p>I honestly think he is a good leader, as was shown up to now in Boruto, but as a matter of strength he has yet to show he is truly Kage level. </p><p>Said so, Suigetsu would probably be an even worse choice as Mizukage. Not only he does not have any of the good quality a leader has, he don't strike me as a so powerful character even </p>

3/4 of the current kage have not shown leadership or strength of kage. I dont so why Chojuro suddenly sucks for his position.

<p>With the exception of Gaara and Naruto, the current Kage are the weakest there have been, yeah.

<p>Idk about weak.. they nearly killed Kinshiki and it was pretty brutal. His arm skin was peeling off, he had stab wounds all over him and he was burned from the lava release that then solidified on him. I'm sure the 3rd Raikage would kill Kinshiki, maybe even the 4th Raikage.. but Rasa? no, and Mei? no.. MAYBE Onoki could if his back didn't get in his way as all he needs is ONE dust release to connect.

<p>Well, I'm not that sure... I don't think a sharinganless Kakashi is that more powerful than Darui, and honestly Mei didn't strike me as a so great kunoichi (compared with the other Kage)... Also, we did not see so much feats of the three of them (Darui, Kurotsuchi and Chojuro) even if... yes, I can't honestly see them hold their own against any of the predecessors that were shown to us (Mei aside, as I said) </p>

<p>Nah, even mei is stronger than chojuro and the other chick. The only one that seems to be actual kage lvl, and not just high jonin lvl is darui (ish), Gaara and Naruto.

<p>It's unfair to consider other kage being weak since we watch the hokage the most, and they seem to be a lineage of gods. Chojuro doesn't seem like he is a bad fighter either since we can't judge because of lack of appearances and the fact that Hidden Mist values swordsmanship above all else and he was one of the 7. Suigetsu is a talented swordsman, but he just took the sword not earned it, it's not difficult robbing a grave.
