You know what, he's 8. Why put that on him? A 14 year old is totally more confident, as Hisana will prove when she spends all the clan's money on glitter!
EDIT: Hadn't seen the new option before.

[] Don't even bring it up unless he does or it becomes necessary for some reason
His family is dead, his brother killed them, and he's been reliving it constantly. I very much doubt he wants to talk or even think about clan business right now.

Obviously, you're not going to bring it up right away. But in the near future, it will have to be decided.

I think Sasuke actually has the potential to not be obsessed with vengeance since he's not alone now. Probably would still want to kill Itachi anyway though.

Hmm, Joint Control or Push to Remain. Both are tempting. More than anything, it's very very important that Sasuke not ever feel like he's alone or that he has a responsibility to avenge everyone by himself.
Push to Remain is risky and could really backfire. He is clan heir now, and we are quite low on the totem pole. Any attempt to keep our power for ourselves could be something that pisses Sasuke off, or anyone else that's either interested in the Uchiha clan or that propriety be followed. That said, Sasuke not having to deal with that shit could be helpful, and Hisana could probably be a better leader.
Joint Control, though, feels much more promising. We are not trying to seize power for ourselves over the proper heir, but neither are we letting him go through this shit alone, we can handle the stuff that he either can't do or is uninterested in. This will probably lead to a much deeper relationship between the two, especially if they talk and debate over clan issues and decisions that they are faced with. And after typing through my thoughts, I'm settled on this.

I do feel like we should include the addendum that Sasuke still holds most of the final authority. Again, he is Clan Heir, and the main purpose of this is to not let him do this alone and also not have to take our hands off the wheel. An equal partnership, in practice, could be difficult.

We still don't really know how Sasuke is going to react to us when he wakes up. However I highly doubt that attempting to wrest control of the clan from him is going to endear us to him. And even if he doesn't realize that we subtly pressured him to let us be head, he may realize later on which would definitely make him bitter and distrust us.
He's eight, and just went through serious trauma, so throwing more responsibility onto his shoulders without support isn't a very good idea. But trying to take away something that connects him to his parents is probably going to be upsetting, and result in some serious conflict between the two of us.
This strikes a balance, preventing the traumatized 8 year old from being the sole official voice of the Uchiha while also not trying to to completely take away what would normally be his. Ultimately if he really doesn't care about the clan head position and running the clan, he'll probably say as much and have us do it. I don't really see that being likely, but it could potentially happen.
Obviously this is a change from normal Uchiha tradition where they have a single clan head, but I feel like having your population reduced to 2 is as good a time as any to change tradition.

Hisana: "Oh, good, you're up. That means that I don't have to deal with this-" *gestures to mountain of paperwork* "-any more."
Sasuke: ...
Hisana: "You know, since you're clan head now and all."
Sasuke: ...
Sasuke: "I hereby renege my position as clan head to Hisana."
Hisana: "Noooooooooo ..."
Sasuke: *Leaves*
Hisana: *Scary shiny glasses* *Laughs* "All according to kekeiku."
Probably not how it would actually go down, but it's a funny image. Actually, do we even wear glasses? We probably don't wear glasses, do we. Meh.
Hisana: "Hey you just woke up, and this is crazy, but responsibility is a drag, so split it up maybe?"
I actually think it's less likely for us to convince Sasuke to go with this one than it would be to remain in control. If he views the power he would have as clan head as being at all valuable, he's going to want it all; If he considers it a waste of time, he's not going to want anything to do with it. That said, if we can convince him to go along with a power sharing sort of thing, this would probably be the best option, as it allows us to maintain a sort of equal footing with Sasuke.
Hisana: "Oh thank goodness you're up, you get to take care of managing all this crap now."
Sasuke: *promptly ignores all the resources he has available and goes along with canon route*
Hisana: "I don't know what I even expected."
I don't think this is a great route to take, but eh, we'll see how she goes.
For now, I'll go with this:
[x] - Subtly push to remain in control of the clan
It seems to me like the most likely course of action that we can convince Sasuke to agree with is for us to handle all the paperwork and authority while he just focuses on training and becoming stronger.
[x] - Subtly push to remain in control of the clan
Traumatized eight year-olds with inferiority complexes do not make good leaders or administrators. If he wants it back when he's a genie, we can hand it over.

@Tekomandor - You might want to update the Character Sheet again. Chakra Capacity and Notority are both still tagged as E-rank despite being in the D-rank range.
