Who will be the Hokage after Naruto?

Who would be the right person to replace Naruto Uzumaki as Hokage in the Konoha village in the Boruto series?

Becoming Hokage was Naruto's dream from childhood and since the beginning of Naruto's story appeared.

After years of rejecting and being ostracized by Konoha residents, as well as years of training with various great figures Naruto finally turned into an extraordinary figure, a mainstay of the village of Konoha.

Only at the end of the Naruto Shippuden series, Naruto finally realized his dream to become the leader of the village of Konoha.

He became the successor of the seventh Hokage who is also his teacher, Kakashi Hatake.

Naruto follows in the footsteps of his father, Minato, to become a Hokage.

Naruto certainly will not forever be Hokage.

So, who deserves to be Naruto's successor?

The most likely will fall to Konohamaru Sarutobi, grandson of the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Just like Boruto, Konohamaru was born into a family of ninja which means he has the ability, expertise, and opportunity to become a Hokage.

Konohmaru has always been an admirer of Naruto, even he aspires to be like Naruto.

One example is the jutsu he learned was a thousand shadow style.

Naruto then coached Konohamaru, and this became a very vital thing.

Because, Naruto's predecessors did the same thing, which is to become a teacher for the next generation (future Hokage).

With the biological descent of a Hokage, plus he learned from experts, Konohamaru is a clear choice to later become a substitute for Naruto, especially arguably Konohamaru is the strongest in his generation.

Although Konohamaru has a great chance to become the eighth Hokage, another character who is also ready and worthy of being the next Hokage is Sarada Uchiha. Sarada has a great chance to replace Konohamaru someday.

In contrast to Boruto who is not too interested in becoming a Hokage, Sarada is passionate to become the leader of Konoha.

By inheriting the strength of his parents, Sakura and Sasuke, it is natural that Sarada became one of the tough figures in a battle that made Sarada the right candidate to become a Hokage.

If Sarada is then elected Hokage, it will be phenomenal for the Uchiha clan who has never interfered in Konoha's political affairs.

It is still unknown whether Naruto will be the last Hokage in the Naruto franchise, but seeing another work from Kishimoto, Samurai 8, which lacks a positive response opens the opportunity for Kishimoto to re-work on the series in the Naruto franchise.
