The Boruto Timeskip’s first episode has finally reached the revelation of Konoha’s Eighth Hokage. And fans are extremely excited to learn who would be the replacement for our favorite Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki.
While Naruto and his wife Hinata are not actually dead. Many fans may have presupposed that Sasuke would be the next Hokage in Naruto’s absence, but Uchiha has once again been labeled as a traitor, after witnessing Sarada awakening Mangekyo Sharingan.
Then, who would be the next Hokage, surprisingly, it’s not one of the strongest shinobi of the Hidden Village.
In Boruto chapter 81, begins with a scene from the Hokage office as Sarada arguing with Shikamaru, who can be seen wearing the Hokage cloak.
Now the question is, would he be considered the weakest Hokage? While several fans are extremely happy to see Shikamaru sitting in a reputable position. And there are several fans who believe that he is not worthy because he lacks offensive prowess.
But do you know? Despite being a lazy character, he is capable of doing many offensive abilities as he is a member of one of the most powerful “Nara” clan.
And Nara clan possesses many abilities which makes Shikamaru a capable Hokage.

Nara Clan’s Strongest Ability: Shadow Possession Jutsu
With their high intellect, members of the Nara Clan are known for their mastery at manipulating shadows in battle, known as “Shadow Possession Technique.”
The Shadow Possession Jutsu is the signature technique of the Nara Clan, an ability that allows them to control the movements of others with the help of their own shadow.
The user has the ability to stretch out and form different shapes with their shadows, which they ultimately use to make connect with another person’s shadow. Once contact is made, the affected target will be stuck in place and unable to move their body.
The only movements they can make are the movements of their incarcerator, which they will copy to every minute detail. The only part of the body not affected by this technique is the mouth and face, allowing the user to potentially catechize their target.
Along with “Shadow Manipulation Technique,” Nara Clan also possesses techniques that are stronger than you think.
