May have. It's still seven of the world's most powerful ninja unaffiliated with any village. And when I say unaffiliated, I mean that they likely share a seething hatred for the major villages. Not really a wildcard I'd be comfortable with existing as one of the village leaders.
Because it was counterproductive to their goals. They absolutely did attack multiple Jinchuuriki, a Kage included. Who knows what they decide to do with Pain's final command. I'm working off limited information here, but the worst case scenarios seem very plausible here. Revenge is a powerful motivator, and they absolutely have the means to enact it.
I mean, choosing the Kages is very important, but if Tsunade can attend Keiko's wedding and Hiashi is conscious, there could easily be a council meeting at any point. And it really sounds like there should be, and the only reason there isn't one is that everyone wants to get all of their political ducks in a row beforehand.
Like, if there was ever a need for an interim Hokage, it's now.
Yeah good point.
Let's just seduce the hell out of Sasuke, Shino and buy out the Hagoromo before anyone recovers so we can vote Asuma in.
Tsunade can come to the vote on a litter, keeping herself together, and Hiashi can either get bent or kill himself dragging his ass their in person to campaign.
Lets chat with Asuma + ISC+Minami before pulling the trigger on Operation Hat Get and then get this son of a bitch out the door before he has time to wake up and start actually being a contender.
