Unless Naruto gets killed (which obviously was hinted that way) he won't be dropping the Hokage spot anytime soon. Oonoki was almost eighty years old in part 2, and was still the Kage. Considering Naruto life-force as an Uzumaki, the fact that he's a reincarnation, his absurd quantity of chakra and the SPSM/SP chakra, he could push his Hokage role way beyond Oonoki did. So unless Naruto gets killed or gets dethroned by the Village for some reason, i don't see the change happening too soon. There's always retirement. It was unthinkable to even suggest that Naruto would ever willingly surrender his position as Hokage during his lifetime, but we've seen in the Boruto series how overwhelmed he is in trying to balance both his job and his social life. A small incentive, maybe Hinata getting sick or something related to his family, and he could quit without it being too out of character. Though yeah, I don't see that happening for another 10 years or so.
