Great analysis.

I still don't understand why the Hokage job is now so time-consuming. He is supposed to be the leader of the ninjas of the village, why does he have to deal with so much bureaucracy and paperwork? It would be much easier to have a major and politicians to deal with the civil issues of the village, and leave the Hokage to do just "Hokage stuff".

But maybe this is just the best way that they found to get Naruto out of the way and focus all the story on Boruto, I guess...
