Naruto just wants to be Hokage to be acknowledged yet he is already acknowledged. Either they share the title or Sasuke becomes Hokage and Naruto becomes a higher position beyond a Kage. Savior?
If acknowledgement was all he wanted, he would've stop trying to become Hokage after the pain arc. Naruto's goals changed during shippuden, as some people often don't seem to remember.
Naruto wants to change the shinobi system.
First it was the thing with Zabuza and Haku. He wanted to change the way how shinobi's were being used as tools and then after meeting Garaa, he wanted to change the way the jinchuuriki's was being treated.
Further into the series, Naruto eventually wanted to get rid of the hatred in the world and he can't do all that without changing the shinobi system.
Just a few chapters ago, Sasuke made up his mind about changing the shinobi system and people say that Sasuke deserves it more because he has real "reasons" why he wants to become Hokage. What a bunch of crap. Even if Naruto becomes Hokage, Sasuke's wish will still come true because Naruto also want to change the shinobi system and get rid of all the hate.
