Naruto is the best candidate for Hokage.
He definitely has the strength to be a great Hokage and so what if he lacks a bit in the brains department? He's smart in many certain ways and has people like Shikamaru and Kakashi to help him out. Its basically the same like the Indra and Ashura story, Indra only gained power while Ashura gained power in friends and that was why his dad preferred him instead of Indra. Sasuke may be strong but he is selfish and wouldn't even care about how many men he would lose (if there was ever another battle) as long as he could keep his position safe. While Naruto actually cares about his village and would help them as much as they help him. Although the only threat that could match up against him is Sasuke and he already re-joined the good side which means Naruto could just solo anyone that tries to pick a fight with his village, lol.
