I am kind of glad they moved away from the Uchiha Vs. Kabuto battle for a little bit because honestly it was dragging on. I still think Madara has a shot of winning this war, but things may play out a little differently. Sasuke may just join him in destroying Konoha after Itachi ends the Edo Tensi. I say this because Itachi pretty much threw it in Sasuke's face that he "has no attachments to this world," and is probably planning on leaving after he rids of Kabuto. That is messed up on Itachi's part because now Sasuke is going to completely loose it i'm afraid. After all this Itachi still wants to push Sasuke aside as though all this was never Itachi's fault to begin with...and it is. So I am going to say Itachi ends the Edo Tensi, he moves on to the afterlife (leaving Sasuke alone once again), Sasuke goes back to Madara, they join their susanos, destroy the kages, and move on with Madara's "Moon Eye Plan."
