So, hold on. Is this a scenario if Naruto would have died against Sasuke at VOTE2? Because that means that Sasuke would initiate his "World dominance", and although nobody would accept him as the leader, there would be nothing for them to do about it. So Sasuke in this case.

Else, if Naruto would've died at some point during the war, there would be nobody to take over the leaf, since if Naruto would've died, the war would've been lost and everybody would sleep in the infinite tsukuyomi.

If Naruto would've died at some point during the war, and the war would've still been won, and Sasuke would've behave afterwards i'd wager Shikamaru would've been the Hokage after Kakashi would've stepped down.As the current Hokage's advisor, he is the most fit for the position.

At this point however, it seems that nobody has the "stamina" to be the hokage like Naruto has.
