well the elders are half-dead old senile people.First, I believe he changed his personality after fighting Naruto to care about others.
Second, I believe he was made Kazekage in part for others to keep an eye on him.
Obviously Naruto is not the first. The elders want Naruto caged up, not Hokage. He's a weapon in their mind.
I Highly Doubt That Because NAruto Has Alot To Learn Stillwhat do u guys think ?
