on A/A's translation its "sasuke, sorry, but the chuunin exam ends here. you are chuunin level already. if you are a ninja of konoha, be useful to konoha."

its really something for the high council, kages, and diamyos to decide
i think so too, to bad both kages died and the rest fell asleep and probably evacuated after they woke up
Me thinks the reason this was asked because Jiraiya called Naturo a genin. Most likely because he's still trying to push Naruto, as he had in pushing him to use the Kyuubi's chakra.

I think Kakashi meant they have their skills are now on par with most chuunins, but there was no official cermony/rite to acknowledge them as chuunin.
