If Naruto somehow died after chapter 700, who would become the next Hokage?

As the title states. For argument's sake, let's say 1 week after the events of chapter 700 Naruto dies from sudden death syndrome. The village needs a new Hokage and Kakashi has ruled himself out of the running. Who'd become the 8th?

Konohamaru because of that will of fire BS -.-
Konohamaru does seem like a solid choice but isn't he the same or a similar age to the last Naruto in chapter 700? If Naruto was too young for the position, I don't see how Konohamaru wouldn't be either. Especially since he's a Naruto clone.

Hinata or Shika.
Hinata is too timid/weak to be Hokage. Shikamaru is smart but isn't strong enough.

Sakura would be a better choice. She has a mixture of strength and intelligence and she's the disciple of last two Hokage. She has the pedigree for the role, unlike the other two.

The obvious choice is Sasuke but I doubt the other villages would like that.
