On the other hand, there's still that "Child of the Prophecy" stuff. Naruto is supposed to lead a revolution that will change the world. But that can't happen unless Pein wins.

I can't get too specific about my predictions. I just see potential for Berserk-styled awesomeness. :0)
I dont think that the Kage's ever really leave the village unless it is on business. To do so leaves their village in to much danger. But I could see the rest of it happening. Although since it is a Shonen series, it will probably come down to Team Gai and the Rain Nin stepping in to help at the last minute, and Pein will retreat. Naruto will run around looking at what he caused just for living in Konoha and them he will decide to leave...
