maybe sasuke.........konohamaru is still a bit young and not very strong
Seeing how Konohamaru is still young, if Naruto were to suddenly die in the next couple years I think Tsunade would just take back over. From there I think it'd pass to Kakashi. The only way I could see Sasuke getting the title is if he earned some mad fame in the village during that time frame.
What do you mean if he earned some fame in the village? He already is a famed shinobi. He is the last uchiha, he is a reincarnation of indra and a descendant of the Sage of the 6 Paths, he has the rinnegan and ems, he is going to be a co-savior of the shinobi world as of now. What more fame does he need?

Naruto will surely pick Konohamaru, it's already been stated back in the first shippuden episode...
Love from his fellow shinobi![]()
That's not fame. Which is what my question was about.
Also, he is only hated by those who don't know what the truth is and although that's the majority of the narutoverse, the amount doesn't make them more right in wrongly judging him.
Technically the only thing sauske has done wrong is attack killer bee and well leaving the village but leaving the village wasn't why everyone was *****ing, leaving the village to train with orochimaru was everyone's problem. Sasuke has indirectly saved a lot of people lives. Such as killing orochimaru who would kill and has killed countless shinobi and people, killing deidara who would continue to kill and itachi who everyone thought was bad but he really is the most devoted shinobi to the cause of saving the shinobi world and protecting the village. Itachi's " reality " quote to sasuke was the perfect way to sum up how people view on things is wrong. Sasuke has saved the world from juubito along with naruto and he is going to save the world from Godara along with naruto, I think his good surely outweighs the fleeing of the village and attacking killer bee " bad " stuff.

And that's all good, but besides Team 7 no one in the village has any attachment to Sasuke. It would be like hiring a famous mercenary as president. Sure he is strong, capable in battle, and might have benefited the country plenty of times, but fact is as long as the ppl can't relate to him, or have some form of attachment to him he will always be distrusted.
If Sasuke went and became an Anbu led a slew of successful missions, became idolized by his comrades, or did something to create some visage of an outstanding shinobi that ppl would relate to then yeah I could see him becoming Hokage, but that would at least take a few years.
War accolades are great, but the ET thing was done away from any witnesses and Naruto is gonna get most of the fame for fighting Madara, so....yeah
