off the top of my head: maybe the fourth just sealed the kyuubi inside him, which instead of killing him made him into a baby, whom the villagers called naruto... then years later, kishimoto makes a story arc where naruto ends up going back in time and becomes the 4th everyone knows of, realizing his dream of being hokage and thus creating a nice time-loop ending for the entire series... hahaha... please don't take this seriously...
