Why is that an issue though? With the existence of Shadow Clones and them not having any drawbacks in canon whatsoever except requiring chakra, I never understood why the Hokage kept complaining about having to do paperwork all day except because it's funny.
That can even explain away the fact that the Hokage himself was handing out D-Rank missions at the mission desk because it shows he cares about the new genin while he doesn't even have to present for real.
Well, requiring a clone of the hokage is still a real cost, right? that clone could be doing important things elsewhere, or not be formed so the Hokage has more chakra in case of an emergency. (Maybe there are dumb canon facts about shadow clone that make this not true.)
