Sure does! Naruto becomes Hokage after going through numerous battles and proving his worth. It's a well-earned title that showcases his dedication and the respect he gains from his peers and the village.
Yes, in some fanfics of 'Rokudaime Hokage', Sasuke could be depicted as a Naruto fan. Fanfic authors often explore different character dynamics, and Sasuke having an admiration for Naruto similar to a fan's view can add an interesting twist to the story.
In many time travel fanfictions, their relationship often becomes more understanding. Since they already know each other well in the future, when they travel back, they can skip the initial hostilities. For example, if they go back to their academy days, Sasuke might not be as cold to Naruto as he was originally because he already knows Naruto's true nature and what they will go through together in the future.
There are various types. Some might focus on Naruto's intense training and growth to earn the title. Others could involve unexpected challenges and how he overcomes them to become the Fifth Hokage.
It would also affect Naruto's relationships with other characters. His friends like Sakura would be devastated. She has deep feelings for Sasuke. Naruto's own self - perception would be shattered. He has always seen Sasuke as his friend and rival, and taking his life would be a major blow to his moral compass. Moreover, it could lead to a power vacuum in the ninja world as Sasuke was a powerful shinobi.
They still have that deep friendship, but it's more official. Naruto as Hokage respects Sasuke's views on matters related to the outside threats. Sasuke, on the other hand, respects Naruto's leadership. They often meet to discuss strategies and how to keep Konoha and the ninja world in peace. For example, they might plan together how to deal with any potential threats from rogue ninjas or other villages.
One way Sasuke could be a Naruto fan in the fanfic is through Naruto's ideology. If Naruto has created a more inclusive and prosperous village as the Rokudaime Hokage, Sasuke, who has always had an interest in the village's well - being in his own way, could be drawn to Naruto's vision and thus be like a fan. Also, Naruto's growth in power and wisdom could be something that Sasuke admires, leading to him being seen as a fan in the context of the fanfic.
