All the kages that were summoned will discuss a new ninja system to end the cycle of hatred.
I doubt Kishi brought the kages back only to summon Team 7 and Madara, And it has been forshadowed before that the ninja system has to be changed. Sasuke has expressed his desire to create a new ninja system, and even Minato acknowledged that the ninja system fuels the cycle of hatred.

) Every kage is now gathered (except for the current kages, but as we have seen Kishi is dead set on making sure none of the supporting characters that are actually alive have any relevance to the plot). Now would be the perfect time to have a super gokage summit to discuss ideas for the future of the ninja world.
Hamura will make his appearance. Hamura is due to make an appearance and it'll probably be sooner than later. He might be the figure we see erupting out of the Sage's tools (

) in the bottom left panel. With Hamura's appearance many questions will be addressed, such as why Hagoromo has Hamura's Yin seal, Hamura's disappearance from history, and the origins of the Byakugan, the Hyuuga clan, and the cursed seal.Orochimaru will make his move. Orochimaru is likely the person we see here (

) escaping from IT. Most likely the Shinju releases people from IT when they become WZ, and since Orochimaru is already a White Zetsu it's possible that this is why he was released. If he is free from IT, you can bet he'll be scheming something, biding his time and looking for an opportunity to present itself. (

)Now, two of Orochimaru's goals/dreams are gathered in one place. An Uchiha body with powerful eyes and Hagoromo, the very anthology life form the Orochimaru dreamed of obtaining.

)Orochimaru still desires an Uchiha body as we see here (

) but he simply didn't have the power to take Sasuke over. Madara is most likely still alive and has a role to play; Kishi wouldn't reintroduce Madara if he was dead. If he were finished with Madara he could have left him sealed with Kaguya. He may be talk-no-jutsu'd and redeemed but with Madara's personality it's highly unlikely it'll happen. I believe that Orochimaru will take over Madara's body, and with Madara's powers he will be able to control the edo Hokages.We will finally get detailed flashbacks of Orchimaru's story, and Orochimaru will meet his parents.. This was foreshadowed a long time ago, during a flashback when Sasuke killed Orochumaru. (

) Since then, we've seen Naruto meet his parents and been introduced to the idea of reincarnation. With all of Orochimaru's dreams no proven to be obtainable (anthology life form, reincarnation, meeting his parents, powerful Uchiha body) get ready for a huge dose of good old Orochimaru villainy + his life story.There are still plenty of unanswered questions in the manga, such as the importance of the Sages tools, why Naruto's hand is bandaged in the movie, and Sasuke's goals. I don't think the manga is going to end very soon, definitely not before the movie is released.
Thanks for reading!

p.s. Sorry for all the links, posting manga pictures is a huge pain on my ipad :eww:
TL;DR: Read the bold.
