For the sake of plot I'm going to have to stick with Naruto. And that's only because plot is going to dictate it.
But realistically, neither of the two that are currently fighting right now (Naruto and Sasuke) really deserve it unless something drastic changes in their personality.
Naruto is ambitious to the point of childish. He doesn't have much planning and reason to go by and relies. Why else do you think Shikamaru was willing to be his aide? On the bright side, he has people on his side
Sasuke has goals, and can plan out his actions far better and more independently. But he has an extreme view of reality (all the Kages are responsible, true. But killing them is just begging for another war and it doesn't solve anything). He als doesn't really have anyone on his side atm lol.
Kakashi seems to be the only level-headed person here (since Itachi is dead), and personally Obito was spot on his desire for him to be Hokage.
Just my 2 cents.
