Maybe the title is just something assigned during each generation. Hashirama was the "god" of his time, Hiruzen the "god" of his, and maybe Naruto will be the "god" of the current time. (In many respects, Sarutobi seems more like the real deal since he didn't have any fancy bloodlines or Jinchuuriki power-ups or Sage relations to boost his abilities.) It does mess up the whole 'each generation stronger than the last' thingy, but everything in the series does that anyway so I see no reason why it should it matter anymore (or even be brought up in discussions considering how often it has been ignored or disproven).
