Honestly, the Invasion of Pain could have been the end of the story. It was perfect. Naruto becomes the hero he always wanted to, he finally surpasses his master, sensei and father, building a legacy of his own. The Prophecy comes true, and the village entered a new phase. All he really had left to do was stop Sasuke and become Hokage.
