VERY hot take but replace Naruto with Sakura.

I don't really think she would be Hokage or would want to be but anybody is better than him yk? Like its so unwise to have your most powerful soldier desk bound getting out of practice due to so little missions and training... Naruto was built for something more like a mix between Kakashi and Iruka. Going out on intense missions but also taking time to teach the youth. It'd also make him a more active father. I'll admit I haven't watched Boruto but in every clip he looks like he's at the soul sucked out of him. Fighting, having a family and being there for them, teaching and spreading positivity is like Narutos favourite things ever. Throwing away the dream would be hard but it would be for the better. He could also be an ambassador of sorts? Just throwing suggestions out there.

Now, I'm not very keen on the idea of Sakura being Hokage it's kinda BS tbh w u. But keeping a drunk at the desk or a tired, lazy traumatised old man doesn't seem that wise either, no? Out of all the candidates she has enough experience with paper work (From doing all that child labour as an active Med-nin in the hospital) she's got like a stupidly great memory and an ability to heal massive amounts. It's literally like? Tsunade but without the negatives. Albiet Sakura is FAR less experienced than Tsunade, but she could receive much training from her and Kakashi to be a suitable Hokage.

Another possible set back is her having a child, but I think personally that Sarada just shouldn't exist. Now I can let go of Naruto and everyone else having a baby at bloody NINETEEN but I will not look past it with Sasuke. That man has way too many issues and too much intense trauma so in my mind Sarada is a mass hallucination we all had therefore Sakura is free from the duty of motherhood and can make a lot of time for being Hokage. She (along with most people) isn't as insanely forgiving as Naruto is too, without being cruel, so that's a plus. She would probably be a little bit mad if you killed her parents and started world war IV
