There's a scene when Naruto was about to go to his inauguration as a Hokage
but was knocked out by Himawari. In his stead, Konohamaru transformed into
Naruto but nobody notices this from among those present.

How did Konohamaru fool everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village?

As mentioned by @W.Are in the comments, nobody witnessed Konohamaru perform
the [Transformation
Justu](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Transformation_Technique). With enough
skill, the transformation turns the user into a perfect replica.

While shinobi who have the ability to detect
[chakra](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chakra) signatures (such as sensory
types) could have easily detected this had they been actively looking for it,
this was an inauguration ceremony during a time of peace. The thought of an
imposter was probably not on their minds.
