Technically true. But (at least for Konoha, Suna, Iwa, and kumo) the Kage has mostly settled into being related to the previous kage by being family, a master/student relationship (which for many ninja is closer than family/the closest they get to family), or being a bodyguard (again, close to family) of the previous Kage.
The current generations of Kage are descended by blood on 4/5 counts, and (from what we can speculate from canon and the bit of knowledge we have here) that's liable to hold true for the next generation as well.
The only outlier is Kiri.

- Yes.
...or the Kages are chosen based on their skills as ninjas, which is directly correlated to how much they won the lottery. Children born with better genetics (bloodlines) have more potential; children born to ninja parents have better opportunities (and connections); children who get a stronger Jonin-sensei tend to excel more. More advantages as young ninjas leads to more training and opportunities leads to more growth leads to more advancement leads to more training and opportunities until eventually they're Kage-level.

*shrugs* Probably both.
Also there's the political aspect as those who supported the previous kage (assuming there's some factionalism going on) are more likely to throw whatever weight they have behind someone close to said kage. Either way, those connected to kage by (effectively) family, tend to be more likely to succeed them. This is enough of a trend that it could both be cemented in place and be used via political marriages.
Not saying it's the best move, probably not, but it's certainly viable. Even if one/both of said union don't end up being kages, they're liable to close enough to the actual kages for the marriage to have the desired effect of bringing countries together.

But are we not the protagonist of our own story, with Naruto as a background character?

- how about no
Why is it that whenever I leave for one week crazy shit happens?
I gave @OliWhail the honor of being the SS Inazou's first mate and suddenly he becomes a QM to boot plus Hazou went on some crazy LSD trip where he saw the true nature of reality.
On the other hand, books happened, so I have that going for me, which is nice.

On the plus side, Inazou-supporter on QM side. On the minus side, Inazou-supporter on QM side -- that is to say, one less person to vote for Inazou plans.
Another plus side is having someone that knows exactly how we think on the QM side, and someone to relay information we ask for, that keeps different hours from eaglejarl and Velorien.

Yeah, Ino seems to really dig Hazou's charisma when he's actually giving speeches rather than sticking his foot in his mouth

I would strongly suspect that insect summon scrolls are in fact in the Aburame and that one Iwa clan's possession, and that if we found one not in their possession we could very well make a Real, Actual Alliance with the Aburame by either giving it to them whole hog or putting it in their possession (while Hazou is the summoner; although this would cause risk of assassination by Konoha elements and may not be ideal because of it).
If we found an insect summoning scroll then they'd probably try to get us to marry into the clan.
That's what we like to think.
But we're still in the Naruto universe, and the universe revolves around Naruto, not us. At best, we are a side story.

So what I'm hearing is that Hazou's harem starts with bees.
No. No no no.
We are not shipping Hazkitter.
Stop that right now.
Crossing over with Worm opens a can of... worms... that we really don't want opened.
How would that work? Would Hazou go to Earth Bet and beg with Skitter to become his summon?
Do we get to summon other parahumans?

Starting with the fact that one of your QMs, who shall remain nameless, really dislikes Worm and regards it as one of the most anti-rational stories around. Crossing over with its universe might, therefore, be considered harmful.

Well, I've never read Worm, bees are just the most comical insect to suggest summoning. Other than maybe ladybugs.
