i.e: Kakashi as elder (possible Hokage, don't chew my head off for this suggestion) and Naruto and company as the Next Gen.
That was a prediction I had sometime ago. That Tsunade would either die from rapidly growing old or will step down because of her age much like the third hokage did. Therefore giving the only other capable person in the village to become hokage, Kakashi. So that prediction is still alive due to whats going on in 449.

Kishimoto has killed off a bunch already.Almost all my favorites...Asuma, Itachi, Jiraiya, Hiruzen, a lot of the akatsuki members, Chino, and the list goes on. Not to mention he started the Series with the death of Minato. And IMO I think the point for Kakashi to see his father was for him to acknowledge to his father that he was proud of what he did for the village and his comrades. He wanted his father to know that he could always hold his head up high.
Now I have a very strong feeling that Kishimoto has something in my mind for Kakashi and Madara/Tobi...This is good though, now we can see the reaction from Kakashi when he finds out what Naruto accomplish and also that Naruto knows who his father is...
The only thing now that disappoints me personally is seeing Sasuke again. Hopefully Naruto meets with him and bashes his head against the canvas.
