We all have to accept this, it inevitable... At somepoint atleast once Kishi will take a big dump on our theories when we really believe we're right. He must enjoy fooling us all but from that he gives us a big surprise that is more than making it up to us from demolishing each theory we ever get, none of our theories will be right, even if some of them are right it not 100% right, we just have to face it, Kishi will never be predictable even if he makes us believe we already going to know what will happen next.
Like the 3rd Raikage, we all thought it was a clone and then he made it look as if it was the real Naruto... Then it shows it wasn't! Imagine it took like 2000 Clones to fight against Gaara when they were younger and even then it wasn't enough, one single clone defeated the 3rd Raikage who went toe to toe with the 8 tailed beast.
