Naruto Uzumaki's dream was to become Hokage, protect his village, and receive recognition from those around him. He already achieved that in the original series.

This beast lived inside him and wanted to kill him, harming him at every opportunity and even harming the loved ones around him. However, by the end of the series Naruto worked incredibly hard and beat even the ball of hate that existed inside him.. This is why Naruto deserves to have Kurama's power by his side.
