If they weren't pictured side by side I wouldn't even note the facial resemblance. It's just manga and Kishimoto wanted a slight resemblance to Naruto, so Tsunade would take some kind of a liking to him.

They don't look any different than Kiba and Naruto. I think that Kiba is just Naruto with black hair almost when his hood is down.
cmon the next thing ppl might be saying is that hokage is basically the old genin with a hat on.
