Going from the title....
I am sure that I am not the only one that believes, that Sasuke must have a clue that Madara is up to something...
Sasuke knows that just like Itachi... he is the Key to the plans of Madara. And that Orochimaru wanted Itachi, just like himself, possibly in attempt to foil Madara's plans and also for Itachi's power.
Knowing this... AND that everything he knew growing up, is completely different.
IF Sasuke is a genius, would he be upset for leaving Konoha and his life behind... for a lie...?
At first, yes.... But I think Sasuke matured emotionally, through this whole ordeal... to NOT let Itachi's sacrifice go to waste!
I also believe that Sasuke is NOW choosing to NOT return to Konoha, because...
1. He has heard about how strong Naruto has become... and that it is all because he cares so much for Sasuke. Sasuke knows that staying away will only make Naruto get stonger... and to be able to protect Konoha from Madara.
2. Sasuke knows from experience with Orochimaru... that you need to keep your enemies close... We know that Sasuke is lying to his Hawk team members, and Madara... that he intends to destroy Konoha.
Basically I think that Sasuke has a plan formulated to destroy Madara, and to protect Konoha... In order to Fullfill the Goals of Itachi, and to Follow In the Footsteps of his older brother.
If this is true, I will think completely different about Sasuke... genious.
