Before I start this 'theory', let me make clear that this does not involve Danzou.
Also, this is going on the assumption that Kakashi is dead, and that Tsunade will die at the hands of Pein.
Before Jiraiya left on the mission he'd never return home from, when he went to fight Pein, both he and Tsunade said that while Naruto would become hokage someday, Kakashi would be the obvious current choice for Tsunade's successor.
Now in the recent chapters, it's becoming clearer and clearer than either Kakashi is dead, or that he's just about dead.
Also, Tsunade's the only surviving member of the sannin. That means she's going to be killed off sooner rather than later.
Then, who will become hokage?
None other than....
Gai's the second most powerful jounin after Kakashi. Taking Kakashi and Naruto out of the picture, Gai is the only one left.
If Kakashi and Tsunade died right at this very moment in the manga and Danzou were taken out of the picture, Gai would become hokage!
