Naruto wants to become hokage, which you could technically describe as a feudal warlord but in practice it is a lot different. There are five different “great hidden villages.” The Kage are the top of the chain of the leadership within each village. But they are not dictators, they are more so the ninja that is most respected and trusted to protect the village and act sort of like a president.

They do not have ultimate power like a dictator. (At least in theory) there are enough high level, powerful ninjas within each village that could join together to perform a coup and assassinate the kage if they attempted to become a dictator.

There are nine “jinchuriki,” Naruto is one of them. These are people that have the spirit of one of the nine tailed beasts sealed within them. This makes them extremely powerful so people fear them. They are basically nuclear weapons that each village can use to threaten each other to use in war.

The history of Naruto is essentially an endless cycle of war, both between these villages and between different “clans” which are essentially ethnic groups. By about age 12 anyone that chooses to become a ninja will participate if there is an ongoing war. This means a ton of ninjas are orphans or the only remaining members of their families.

Naruto’s goal to become hokage is not because he wants power. He already has extreme power as a jinchuriki and become a “rogue ninja” that no village can control. He wants to be a protector of the village that people will trust rather than fear. Beyond that, his goal is eventually to stop this cycle of wars fighting over control of land and jinchuriki by unifying the hidden villages. And to end these internal “race wars” that exist because many clans have abilities that can only be passed on through the clan.

He wants the five villages to live in peace, not for his village to take control and dominate over the other four. This would also mean the jinchuriki are no longer viewed as weapons for the villages to fight over.

Traits like hair color and eye color do not correspond to any real life races. People literally have red and purple eye colors, naturally pink hair. For example Sasuke, the “second main character,” is a member of the uchiha clan that was genocided. They all had black hair and red eyes.

Naruto is not a member of any of these major clans that feud between each other. He just has blonde hair and blue eyes because his father had blonde hair and blue eyes. His mother had red hair and brown eyes. His father and mother were technically “members of clans” but both families are essentially extinct. He does not even learn who his mother and father were until fairly deep into the series.
