Yes, Kakashi not wanting to be Hokage doesn't mean he'll refuse the offer since its a kind of responsibility for the good of Konoha. But seeing that "moment" has already passed, I don't think it will come again. Its just not right. I can see Tsunade passing down the title to Naruto since he's already powerful enough with the "Hero of Konoha" title to boot. Saving a village is the Hokage's job and he's already done that single-handedly. I don't really see another Hokage before Naruto, meaning Tsunade won't die before that happens. Heck there's a possibility of him not being Hokage at all. He'll probably get a status equivalent to RS which applies to the whole shinobi world after the war ends.
Well the important thing to remember is the council already had evidence of Naruto being a hero by him defeating Pein. They knew roughly just how powerful he was, yet still went in different directions twice.
There's also the Fire Lord himself to consider, as apparently he has some final say over who the Hokage is.
While Naruto is probably strong enough to be the Seventh, there's a pretty compelling argument, that he's not quite mature or wise enough. Hence, I would think Kakashi would make the ideal transitional Hokage from Tsunade to Naruto. And unlike Naruto OR Tsunade, Kakashi would understand like the 3rd, that yes being Hokage sometimes makes ugly decisions.
