^It was one unbroken chain, honestly. Yeah, Jiraiya refused, but Tsunade took over, the niece of The First and Second Hokage and the student of the Third Hokage. Then came the Fourth Hokage, student of the Fifth Hokage's teammate and Third Hokage's student and then came Sixth Hokage, the student of the Fourth Hokage and the sensei to the Seventh Hokage, the son of the Fourth Hokage.

And the next contender for Hokage is Konohamaru, student of the Seventh Hokage and grandson of the Third Hokage.

Also @Borjitasstoi, why is Sarada being Hokage absurd to you? It's about time this village gets a Uchiha in the Hokage seat. And Boruto not wanting to take that role is good - we don't want another Naruto story. Hell, he's already quite similar to Naruto in mannerisms.
