SuperSaiyaMan wrote: Naruto isn't a bad father. He's just an overworked Hokage. This era of Hokage is more than just the guy who doles out missions like Hiruzen, Tsunade, Minato and Kakashi did. For Naruto, he's basically running the entire village so the new technology and the population expansion goes smoothly. He's overseeing not only the village's ninja population, but actively working for the civilian. Considering the Ninja system got kind of impossible with the combination of peace and half the working Shinobi pop killed, i think Naruto is basically working to run half the world now.

In stead of competing the villages are working together now, which means that in addition to managing the village (which already was a paperwork-heavy job) he's managing intervillage relations as well.

This can be partially blamed on the fact that the Hokage is a position of immense power, too much power i'd add. The Daimyo runs the country, but the Hokage is a General, Mayor and President in one.
