I feel like reaching kage level your gunna have to grind a shit ton for your skills....
You are going to have to grind a lot to get to Jonin, and I don't think that Jonin will be much different from Kage.
In a game like this, where player skill is one of the major pillars of the total capabilities of someone in the game world, elected leaders will most likely have a combination of a character that is very well trained and their own superior skills in the game.
Anyone will be capable of becoming Jonin-level at some point, but they will be limited by their actual level of skill in the game.
It's like chess, anyone can learn to play chess, but only a few can become Grand Master.
In the beginning, I imagine players won't be too different from each other, but as the world progresses and it becomes more clear who is better than others, I'm sure elected Kage won't be an easy thing to take down.
You will only be able to take them down if you're highly skilled yourself, but never cared for a position like Kage. If that is the case, then sure go ahead. If you're the average Jonin, I'd stay away. Of course you could always ambush a Kage with several people, but I'm sure any decent Kage is well-prepared for situations like that.
What's I'm trying to say is, physically you probably can become equally strong as an elected Kage, but mentally (referring to his intelligence, reflexes, thinking speed, etc.) you probably can't.
