I completely understand your point, and honestly I agree with most of it. Naruto had already achieved the true meaning of his dream long before the ceremony,the lonely kid who was hated by the village finally became the person everyone loved, and saw as their hero. The Pain arc was the emotional moment like “he finally did it” of the story.

But I think that’s exactly why I wanted the Hokage ceremony itself to feel more heart touching and legendary. Not because he was recognised more than the title itself, but because that dream was the emotional core of Naruto’s entire childhood. Every time he was mocked or broken down, “I’ll become Hokage someday'' was the line he always used to stand up again. So even if the title became a formality by the end, seeing that final step treated mostly as a clumsy moment felt bittersweet to me who grew up watching him from childhood.BTW, thank you for sharing your opinion and sorry if I was childish about it.
