As with all fan fiction writers I do not Naruto or any of the material I try to pay homage to with my story.

Chapter 3 Hokage
The rapid beat of footfalls and the secretary's sudden exclamation preceded Naruto into the Hokage's office by only a moment as he did not wait on permission to enter. The Hokage just waved her off as she moved to remove the boy saying' "Sit down Naruto. This is going to take some time."
The boy complied and with a signal from the Hokage the secretary closed the door behind her on her way out. "Now Naruto there are some things I need to know before we begin. Tell me, do you wish to be a ninja?"
"Of course jiji!" the excited boy exclaimed, "I want to be Hokage just like you. Then everyone will have to respect me."
"Hmm, well Naruto my boy while gaining respect is admirable, it will not be so easy as just gaining the title of Hokage. In fact should you continue to wish the job, you will have to earn everyone's respect first. You see not only is the Hokage the strongest ninja in the village and among the strongest in the world, but also he must be a skilled leader who knows which ninja to send on a mission in order for it to be a success and whom can inspire the village in times of trouble," the elderly ninja told the boy.
"Oh," the somewhat downcast boy said, but then seemed to brighten and claimed with confidence, "Then I will have to earn everyone's respect by being the best ninja ever and protecting everyone in the village. Then I will become Hokage."
"Well Naruto it can be a thankless job at times. If a ninja you send on a mission dies you are the one who must tell his family. Sure you try to choose teams that have the best chance, but some missions are likely to cost lives no matter who you send. And unfortunately we can't just decline such tasks as sometimes they are the only way to keep the village safe. Also if such a task comes from an employer to refuse would make the village look weak leading to employers taking their business to other more daring villages costing us the money we need to survive and thrive as a village," the old man explained. "Plus the paper work is a foe all Hokage have lamented," he joked.
"I know there are no shortcuts in life. I will work hard to become and as the Hokage," the boy proclaimed.
"Heh Heh, well my boy you have at the very least earned my respect. Now I think it's time I told you why so many villagers hate you and why earning their respect will be a difficult but worthy endeavor for you," The old man continued.
