And furthermore, what's so good about the Sannin name anyway? At one point or another every member of them either left, betrayed or abandoned Konoha to become a womanizer, an alcoholic or power hungry maniac. If anything Sannin is a title with prestige only, no real benefit.

Do you want to take over the world, huh? Well, you'll have to go through us first!

Replace any member of Team 7? It'd be a complete joke to replace him in spot of Naruto or Sasuke, and last time I checked Shikamaru lacks medic skills that Sakura has. Skill wise Naruto and Sasuke are superior, and even in terms of intelligence Sakura can match him. Your better of recommending Lee or Neji who are way better than Shikamaru. He's severely overrated.
Also, Team 7 was never much of a team. At least what we knew from the Sannin they worked together, but Team 7 pretty much did their own thing and rarely relied on teamwork. Neo-Sannin is simply foreshadowing and theme relaying, that's all.

Granted, Shikamaru is a genius, but his own team of Ino, Chouji, and him work better in terms of team work. Team 7 only has teamwork between sakura and Naruto and that was only for the first couple of arcs of part 2. Such as now, Sakura is on the track for being the next legendary healer like Tsunade and Naruto is the new Gama-sennin. I don't see very many team missions coming their way anymore.

What makes you think he will be Hokage? That's taking Naruto's dream away from him, which is a very bad move.
What's Happening with the Naruto series as of now!

How is Shika even close to becoming Hokage? For what was described Hokage was the strongest Ninja in the village, had a large assortment of techniques, and was willing to lay his life on the line for everyone in the village.
Out of those three things, Shika only has one of those and its the heart. And that's only sorta. Shika's is smart very smart, but he completely lacks the power and the ability to protect all of Konoha by himself. Kinda like what Naruto is doing right now.

I believe it was said he would be a candidate for Hokage if he wasn't so darn lazy, he's not an actual candiate.
As for the main topi, it's already been noted that the 'Legendary Sannin' means 'Legendary 3 Ninja's' And I believe you are wrong about Shika being able to replace any of the members of Team 7, He lacks the Medical and physical power to replace Sakura, He lacks the Ninjutsu, speed and Sharingan to be able to replace Sasuke, and as for Naruto he lacks the determination, raw power, Chakra capacity, and instant planning ability Naruto has.
If you think about it, Naruto is the worst opponant for Shikamaru, He is completely unpredictable (well except you know he's going to use Kage Bushins and Rasengan to win), How is Shika meant to plan against someone who himself doesn't know how he intends to fight? You'll notice that where Shika has to withdraw from the battlefield to analyse the battle and come up with hundred possible scenario's, Where with Naruto his planning is on the go, you just have to look at the plan he formed to beat Neji, Gaara, Kakuza and recently Pein, he mixes things up, changes battle strategy's as he does along, and with his use of Shadow clones, makes it almost impossilbe to pre-plan against.

Or to make it clear, how about someone making a fanart having Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke standing in the light but with Shikamaru as the shadow
The family that couldn't be.

Don't you mean Sennin? Sannin as it's been pointed on more than one occasion, mean's 'three great ninja's' (or Densetsu no Sannin to be precise) you can't have four member of Sannin, that's an oxymoron. plus it would have to be a title earned not just passed on. He could be a Shadow Sage, if such a thing exists in the world, but that wouldn't work either because Shadow is Kage in Japanese, so it would be Kage Sennin, and with a title like that many would assume he's stonger than the Kage's of the five country and we all know that's now the case.

I know that i'm referring to him being known as a sage instead of Yonin, which is much cooler, being a sage means your a master of something, being a Sannin or Yonin, you share the title with 2 or three others.

I know, I like him too but he not that great to even be consider a fourth Sannin.

I agree that the sannin is three ninjas, but the story of the 'Three Musketeers' is a story about four guys. The original three had that nickname and then D'artanion (sp) joined the group.

Oh, then that's just a spelling mistake. "Sage" is said "Sennin", with an 'e'. And so far, Jiraya is the only one of the Sannins to be called Sennin.
So Shika could be called the KageSennin ("Shadow Sage") and be part of the Yonin, Gonin, Rokunin or whatever number of new generation legendary shinobi there may be.

Shikamaru is part of a clan that specializes in shadows. So just because he is good at shadow techniques he should be given a Sennin title? Why not call Ino the "Mind" Sennin, or Chouji, the "Fat Sennin" or Shino the "Bug Sennin" and Kiba the "Dog Sennin"? The title is only given to people who make a name for themselves and do something well respected. Killing the weakest Akatsuki member isn't going to give him that title. Tsunade is a legendary medic, Jiraiya is a toad sage, Orochimaru was a scientific genius. What's Shikamaru going to get? Laziest Sennin?
He has lead a team once and that was to capture Sasuke during the end of part 1. He failed terribly, making him 0-1. Being smart doesn't automatically make you a great team leader. And would Naruto (the most unpredictable ninja) and Sasuke (who listens to nobody) actually choose to follow somebody? Seriously he is very overrated.
