Sasuke "Revenge? What's That?" Uchiha: Still a genin, S-rank missing-nin, former associate of Akatsuki, still an international criminal for attempting to capture Killer B, attacking at the Kage Summit and killing Danzo.

Naruto "So Much Power But I'll Just Keep Using Rasengan" Uzumaki: Also still a genin, and even though he defeated Pain, most likely to die from a heart attack at age 19 after eating nothing but f*cking ramen his entire life.

It doesn't matter if these two save the world or not; they're not gonna be made Hokage solely based off their performance in battle.

Kakashi "Hey Guys Remember I'm Not An Uchiha" Hatake has this one in the bag. He was literally seconds away from becoming Hokage before, and he actually *wants* the post now that Obito's entrusted the future to him.
