I'll make a spoiler block of it all, since this can be a **spoiler to anyone
who hasn't seen/read the Pain and the Five Kage Summit arcs**.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

question
naruto
What number comes after the Godaime Hokage?


No. This is exactly the same case with the Third and the Fourth. The Third
retired, and the Fourth was nominated. After the Fourth died, the Third retook
the position, until the Fifth arrived.

> Conclusion: The next Hokage would probably be the Seventh.

A practical example would be [Ariel
Sharon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_Sharon), the Israeli prime
minister who fell to coma. He was replaced with Ehud Olmert, who is now
referred to as an "ex-prime minister". He's also counted in the prime minister
list.

As we now know, Danzo was only considered to be a temporary Sixth Hokage (
_Rokudaime_ ).
