The Fire Daimyō has a tendency to be indecisive and easily swayed in his decisions due to biases and external influences. In critical situations where quick, significant choices are required, he relies heavily on the advice of others. The individual who convinces him the most is considered the "winner." Initially, the Fire Daimyō expressed interest in selecting Jiraiya as the next Hokage and was also impressed by Kakashi's reputation.
