Naruto's dream to be Hokage was to earn recognition from the villagers who treated him with contempt for being the Nine Tails host, but his motivation later grew into his desire to protect the village, its people, and establish peace in the ninja world when the Fourth Shinobi War broke out. He firmly believes that peace can be formed through love and friendship.

Sasuke wanted to be Hokage to follow Itachi's ideals, but mainly because he blamed the previous Kages for causing the world's wars and misfortunes. He wanted to become Hokage to kill the current Kages, destroy all the five ninja countries, and rebuild the ninja system that followed his beliefs, and was willing to be the sole enemy in order to prevent more wars between the countries. But now, he is a shinobi who supports Naruto and the village by protecting it from the shadows.

Boruto has no interest in becoming Hokage and doesn't take ninja training seriously, and looks for a short cut to get stronger. He prefers cheating to increase his abilities if it meant he would get his father's recognition. While he holds the Will of Fire, he lacked the understanding of teamwork and willpower, but he picks this up after the movie ended. He then vowed to be like Sasuke, who protects the village and Hokage from the shadows, and therefore, if Sarada becomes Hokage, he will protect her.

Sarada greatly admires Naruto and follows his ideal of treating everyone with love and friendship. As a result, she wants to become Hokage and continue his legacy, and while she loves her father, she wants to follow a different path than Sasuke. She also firmly believes that a ninja can excel through teamwork, willpower, friendship, love, and bond.

Couldnt have explained it any better.

Sasuke is living his own version of what a Hokage should be and Boruto admires that more over what a traditional Hokage should be.
