Naruto decides that Iwa is his best option. They'll accept him, and the current Tsuchikage will probably be naming his successor soon. Naruto planned on being that successor.

Slightly sad blue eyes examined the unconscious forms of his former precious people. "Goodbye." Naruto whispered. He used the teleportation jutsu to quickly get out of Konoha. He appeared in a puff of smoke in the forest surrounding Konoha. He took one final glance at the village that had been his home before turning around to leave that life behind.
