Most likely, Naruto will go off to train with the toads after this along with his key, preumably to master the 4th's seal on the Kyuubi and learn some of Jiraiya's toad techniques (would help him a bit since his current fighting style consists of easy-to-counter moves on one hand and then suicidal kinjutsu on the other). He is plain terrible next to Sasuke right now, and thats without him unlocking the Mangekyou. There is also the matter of the unknown powerup he got from Itachi, but I don't think this will appear until later, probably in a fight with Sasuke himself.
As for Madara being the Mizukage, Pein would have known as Madara said to Kisame he was the last to know.
It feels like we're starting a new arc now, which I predict will be - Naruto going to the toads, Akatsuki preparing to attack Konoha, and Sakura/Kakashi and co will somehow get involved with the last Jinchuuriki, which is also Sasuke's target.
