it doesn't really matter that Sasuke wants to be Hokage, it's the jounin shinobi who vote on that, and the Daimyo who gets the final say. So the people are the ones who actually get to vote, hence Itachi's message to Naruto. Unless Naruto's going to share that info with Sasuke and tell him it came from Itachi and all of a sudden Sasuke dedicates himself to make everyone happy, I doubt it'll ever come to pass that Sasuke stops being a royal douchebag.
