Remember him begging the Raikage to call off the hit on Sasuke?

And there are greater ramifications for him sitting back and growing fat and lazy. He IS the symbol of peace as the Hero of the 4th War. Wouldn't it be more believable for him to lead by example, and build up as much power as he needs to be able to protect the peace? Seriously, before he became hokage, during The Last, he was far and away more powerful than even Hashirama. Even Sasuke was more powerful than Hashirama. It's ridiculous to think that the most powerful ninja ever would sit on his ass and grow lazy. Naruto's character has been all about protecting the things that are most important to him. Him becoming lazy goes completely against his character.
Nice straw-man; James never said anything about him becoming fat or lazy :/

Naruto & Sasuke could simply maintain their shape/condition, and because they were given power from the sage, its quite likely that no ninja will be able to reach them(much less surpass them) for several generations if ever. Instead of training in violent jutsu, Naruto could instead concentrate his future efforts on things like sealing techniques and using ninja arts for things more useful than death and destruction(while keeping in shape). Indeed, this would be very fitting since many of his clan's techniques were probably lost or forgotten after the ninja world fell into war. I think this would serve a great example for the other countries, and they'd probably follow suit, considering Naruto's charisma and popularity.
