Naruto is as much of an adequate Hokage candidate as Kiba is. Yes, he is a hero, but being a Kage equals responsibility. Also as shown with Hiruzen, ideals of peace and mutual understanding are naive, people like Danzo are a must, something even Hiruzen himself (thought of as a saint by others) had to acknowledge. Otherwise your "allies" would betray you when least expected. A Kage sometimes has to do harsh decisions, lesser evil for greater good.

The truth of life is that one prospers at the expense of another, eat or be eaten, survival of the fittest etc. and that's true in fiction too.

Naruto's outlook on the world isn't realistic, it's idealistic and so is yours if you truly believe that once the war is over, everyone is going to be buddies with each other, ever since and forever.

Naruto can still mature though. I might have to disagree that his outlook was not realistic. Hashirama could be stupid sometimes yet he became an influential Hokage. Sasuke can be a great Hokage candidate (at a neutral point of view), but we're yet to know what his ideals are.
