Itachi or Shisui would've definitely become the Godaime had Danzõ not acted so rashly. Although I would've preffered Shisui, since Itachi was 13 at that time.

At this point of time, the only things that can take out Naruto are-

1) Sasuke gettong mind controlled and letting loose everything he's got.

2) The Heart virus that took down Goku.

Seriously, if a virus could take down a Super Saiyan, and in the world of DBZ where such high level technology exists, I doubt anything would be able to save Naruto.

If that unlikely scenario gets fulfilled, I see Konohamaru becoming the eighth Hokage, since Sasuke's ego wont allow him to the post. Konohamaru didn't do anything in the war because he was a genin. Not to mention in the worst case scenario, the young ninjas would be the ones to carry on forward. Considering the dozens of S-Rank ninjas (The entire Akatsuki, Previous Kages, Kimimaro, Pakura, Gari, all of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen) such inexperienced genins wouldn't survive a minute. The Raikage was an asshole to send those kids as messengers even.

Konohamaru has a good skill set, not to mention enormous chakra reserves seeing as he can easily create Shadow clones during the timeskip(422 and 423 are abominations and do not fit in Naruto Canon!!) He also has a pretty dope Katon affinity and Rasengan to fall back on.

But, there is also the fact to be remembered that Konohamaru isn't nearly as durable as Naruto. Considering that some other powerful ninjas pop up, he might be taken down in an epic battle(something that wont happen with Naruto),in that scenario I can see Sarada becoming Hokage, with Boruto taking over the role of his master(Sasuke) and help his gf from the shadows.

Its unlikely that Sarada would ever face the scenario required for achieving the Mangekyõ Sharingan, but I doubt that will affect things. The Mangekyõ was a legend in the Uchihas, and its ridiculous that there were no other powerful ninjas who didn't posses the Mangekyõ in the Uchiha Clan. Kakshi with a single Sharingan was feared so much, not to mention the Leaf administration were scared shitless by the thought of an Uchiha revolt.

Coming back to the point, Sarada's skill set includes the Sharingan(3 Tomoe), Katon affinity, other jutsus copied during her lifetime, and probably Chidori(Sasuke HAS to give her something). I wouldn't consider Rasengan out of bounds, seeing as to how she idolises Naruto and Konohamaru is her Jonin sensei.

And to the people who are saying the ninja world is and will be at peace due to the nuclear deterrent known as Naruto and Sasuke, dont forget this is what people thought when Hashirama was Hokage. Old age takes down the best of them, not to mention there is no redicting just how powerful someone can get in the Shinobi world. If I had to predict, there would likely be a Sixth Shinobi World War in about 50 years.

So, yeah, Sarada could well be the first Uchiha Hokage lol.
