We already saw how things like this play out when Sasori and Deidara attacked the sand village to capture Gaara. Gaara was considered a monster at first too; feared and hated by the village. But they eventually came to accept him, made him Kazekage, and all showed up to rescue him when he was captured, albeit a little too late. But, that is how Kishi does things. The village isn't going to reject Naruto for being the nine-tails or bringing Pein; they are going to admire him for how strong he has become and for facing Pein alone.

I don't think Danzou needs propaganda at this point to gain control. I believe Tsunade is already dead or dying. Notice how we haven't seen her at all since Naruto started fighting Pein? The last we saw of her was when Naruto got her out of the way and then her hands shriveled up. We haven't seen Sakura, who is with Tsunade, since then either. The only reason I can think why we wouldn't see Sakura cheering on Naruto is because she is "operating" on Tsunade or mourning her, and Kishi doesn't want us to see Sakura's reaction to that yet. It would be more dramatic if, at fights end, someone walks over toward Sakura to find her crying over Tsunade's body.

I'm pretty sure Tsunade is still alive somewhere, since Katsuyu is still around.
