Did Itachi Uchiha want to be Hokage when he was young?


**Did Itachi Uchiha want to be Hokage when he was young?**

* * *

My research:

  * Hiruzen said that Itachi reasoned like a Hokage at a very young age.

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.
