The word 'naru' means 'to become'. Usually used when you want to say you want to become something.

Example: 'I want to become a doctor' -> 'watashi wa isha ni naru'

In addition to what Riceboks said, "ni naru" is also used to express situations that come about beyond your control. The word "koto" has to come between the final verb and "ni naru", however.

rainen, kyoto ni iku.
"Next year, I'll be going to Kyoto."

rainen, kyoto ni iku koto ni naru.
"It's come to be that I'll be going to Kyoto next year"
"It's been decided that I'll be going to Kyoto next year"
"I have to go to Kyoto next year (and I have no say in the matter)"
etc.

ここに何を言うのか全く分からない。。。

This example isn't correct. "Naru" does not imply "want" at all. "watashi wa isha ni naru" would be, "I (will) become a doctor."

If you want to say, "I want to become a doctor," you'd say, "watashi wa(ha) isha ni NARITAI."
