Gai wanted to be offended on behalf of Kakashi, mostly because they were Rivals and he felt he should, but that was...really nice of Obito to say. At least for Gai.
Hokage, huh?
Gai's grin grew as he reevaluated Obito again. Hokage. That was a high aspiration! He could get behind a dream like that, especially from someone who had already shown the kind of character Obito had in this last mission. "I would be honored to serve a Hokage like you, Uchiha Obito! Others will see that you are fit for the position too! Soon enough!" And that was not lip service. Obito was shaping up to be the kind of person one wanted for a Hokage, well, aside from that always-late thing.
"But I still like the nickname," he grumbled, refusing to let go of the Dragon nickname yet. "Dragons can be plenty sneaky. We can work on getting your sneak back first, if you want!"
