    noun+"ga" indicates subject of the sentence.

    noun+"ni" indicates object(complement?) of the sentence.

    In this case,

    "naru" is a verb for "become" or "get" expressing "change".

    (A) will become (B)

    is for

    "(A) ga (B) ni narimasu" or

    "(A) ga (B) ni naru desho".

    I hope I could help you.
