Why Sarada wants to become Hokage is as clear as day. It's because of her admiration for Naruto and how much he impacted her on her journey that she wants to become the type of person he is. He helped her in a way no one else did which is why she respects him so much
Naruto made Sarada look deep in herself and recall the various times she spent with Sakura. He made her realize that whether Sakura is her real mom or not, she has always been loved. That blood tides aren't everything as long as a person shows you love to fill the void.
When that realization came to her, it hits really hard and she wanted to save her mother as a result of Naruto. If it wasn't for him being here to comfort Sarada in her time of being hurt and feeling betrayed, she would've made a decision that she'd later regret.
Naruto rekindled the love Sarada had for her family and he reassured her in her time of need. It's because of her time with him that she decided she wanted to become the Hokage as a result. Her motivation is as clear as day and it's been shown throughout her arc.
Fast forward in the current arc we're in now, Sarada has massive respect for Naruto and she wants to help others because of the fact that he helped her in her time of need and how she wishes that he was her father as a result. She knows how Naruto is and sympathized with Kawaki.
So if anyone asks why she wants to become the Hokage or how shallow her goal of becoming Hokage is, show them this thread. It's because of her arc why she's my favorite character in the verse even till now and why she wants to be the leader of her village. Stan Sarada Uchiha!
