Recentely we've had a surge of characters all claiming they want to be Hokage; Sakura, Kiba, Sasuke, etc.
Why though? Why is Kishi setting up all these characters to strive for the Hokage mantle?
It's not without reason. Kishi is trying to show us something, something that he's been trying to convey from the start. It's not always where you come from, who you are, or what you're told you're capable of, you can always rise to the top and succeed.
We've seen it in Naruto, Lee, Chouji, Sakura, Jiraiya, and many others. The one's who came from nothing; and yet reach the top.
This is what Kishi is doing with the Hokage title. He's not literally going to have every one of those characters fight for the title, he's just showing that they can all share and strive for the same dream. It's almost like "anybody can become president". "Anybody can become Hokage".
So this is Kishi's point: Everyone is capable. Everyone.
