Sasuke may not be trusted by the villagers themselves too.

Naruto has pretty much only said that he wants to be acknowledged by his peers. Nothing political related, really (to my knowledge and remembrance).

& LMAO at Naruto's chances of becoming a Hokage.

That was Naruto's original goal, but now that he's seen as the Hidden Leaf's Hero (even though he SPECTACULARLY failed at stopping Pain from destroying the village), he's already got his peers' acknowledgment. Like Itachi told him: "People won't acknowledge you when you become Hokage; you'll become Hokage when people acknowledge you". He wants the position so he can protect the village.
