In my opinion his dream hasnt developed.His desire to be hokage like other things was meant to evolve over the course of the story.
when it started it was I want to be hokage because hokages are the most recognized and respected people in the village, thusly if I become hokage people will recognize and respect me.
a childs dream and the dream of a child who has always been dismissed or hated.
it soon evolved to I want to protect everyone thanks to Haku and Gaara where he fought for others and learned the cost of doing so.
and Lastly hes learned of the Hard choices he will have to make when hes hokage thanks to Itachi and Gaara the fact he will have to send people to war, or on missions where they may die, or he will have to declare a friend a missing nin and a threat.
First off he doesnt need to be hokage to protect his friends and hokage with protecting his friends were never linked with.
What happened over the course of the story is that he got new objectives, protect friends, keep promises, Save Sasuke(x999) with the latter being an obstacle to achieve this position (cant be kage if i cant save a friend) XDDDD.
Then this whole thing is bought up again at the end of the manga, with Itachi philosophizing "that the ones that become kage is the ones who are acknowledged".
Naruto gets the message and is going to face against Sasuke who as another vision.
Because if Naruto and Sasuke would fight at that moment without Kishimoto "developing" hokage,Naruto would have to reason against Sasuke who looks like a 10yr kid raging at Live.
Personaly i think Naruto's objectives kinda suck, mostly because he didnt moved the plot, actually the plot moved him, the only arc where he moved the plot was on the begining with the whole jinchuuriki thing after that it went downhill with his objectives on the background while he had to search for Sasuke and ignore akatsuki and the jinchuurikis being hunted down.
"BRING BACK MUH CLAN AND I'LL STAHP!!! XDDDDD".
