THEORY TIME!
I personally believed that it was the Fourth that was Naruto's father (hence many of the similarties) but that Naruto pretty much raised himself from an early enough age. Eventually I reckon that because the Forth was his father, like Tsunade who also was directly related to a hokage, Naruto's ' hokage lineage' will ensure his consideration for either the fifth or sixth hokage position toward the close of the series.
Just my two cents.
Seems like a good theory, but wouldn't the people see him as both the holder of Kyubi and the Fourth's son? I don't think it has ever been implied that the Fourth had a son. As Jiraiya says one time, the only resemblance between the Fourth and Naruto are their hairstyles. Then again, I don't have much of an idea, so I'll just have to analyze and see what I can come up with, based on everybody's idea, lol.
