Did Itachi Uchiha want to be Hokage when he was young?
Itachi may have reasoned like a hokage, but he didn't actually want to be Hokage... He would have made an awesome hokage though. Itachi was very intelligent for his age and has the basic ethic to become hokage. I agree with Hirizun on this one. He had the intelligence, logic, curiosity and the will and heart to become hokage.
