i looked at Sasuke's actions deeply and i have to say i was wrong saying that he doesn't care for his old teammates. First of all he could have killed Naruto but he didn't. Then though he was about to use a lightning technique that was not Kirin so that was not life threatening plus i guess he knew that Orochimaru would stop him. Also he cares about his present teammates and i remember when training with Orochimaru he didn't kill all of the guys when he was training. The thing is he just shows off. He shows that he doesn't care.
Dude I am shocked to see someone like you who dislikes Sasuke post this. I wish evrybody was like this because everyone would get along in the forums. I mean I dislike Naruto but I keep it to myself rather than spew disrespectful words about that character. Okay, your quote
"he was about to use a lightning technique that was not Kirin so that was not life threatening plus i guess he knew that Orochimaru would stop him." is stated as fact and I will say that is was undetermined whether or not that jutsu he was about to use on his former teamates was Raiton. It could have been but it was never confirmed so we can only assume as to what that would have been. I also think that he wasn't going to eliminate them even though he said
"I'm done with Konoha". That
jutsu could have been to paralyze/immobilize them more or less and also would have acted as a message that said
"Leave me be". Now Sasuke knowing that Orochimaru would have came to stop him, I don't know about that but it was a good opinion on your part. Domo arigatou gozimasu for someone at least acknowledging Sasuke. I think that he has been more and more colder with his present team solely because of that darkness that had begun to envelop him at the Kage summit. Before that he cared/worried about Taka as evident with the emotional protecting Amaterasu during the Kirabi fight. People especially haters tend to forget about that dark aura that leaks out of him whenever he is close to attaining his vengeance. This is all in my opinion.
However i don't get it why did he join Madara??? i know he wants to take revenge by killing the village elders. But so far Sasuke is the one helping Madara in his plans. And if Sasuke leaves Madara he still has his own team and can sneak in Konoha to kill those three. But now as he joined Madara there will always be more people in his way. A genius like Sasuke should be able to get that joining Madara is didn't do him any thing good and now he is a wanted criminal among the five great shinobi nations. Gotta say Madara is a good brainwasher
Chotto chotto, he hasn't joined Madara but rather accepts his help. The only time he helped him was when he went after Kirabi and since then he hasn't helped him with anything. What I have seen from Sasuke and Madara is that Sasuke uses him and Madara bites. I'm sure that Sasuke has a secret vendeta against him hidden deep within; but he knows that he can't defeat/kill him as of yet which was proven when Sasuke refused his offer and tried to attack him with Chidori. Having Madara close and believing that he is on his side grants him extra assistance for his goals and info on him as well. Madara hasn't succeeded in brainwashing Sasuke because he was shown telling Zetsu that he was hard to manipulate and maybe this will help you, take a look:

Remember Sasuke asked Daznou for the truth about Itachi? Why would he ask him if he was brainwashed by Madara as you claim? There should have then be no asking because he confides in Madara, this should prove that he obviously doesn't and was why he wanted confirmation by Danzou. All that bull the old man said was to hide his role he played. Of course with the truth out Konoha should hold him responsible along with the other three. This is why he was angered and said what he said about Itachi and he was even incorrect as it was Madara who told Sasuke the
truth not Itachi.
Hes with madara for like the same reason he was with oro, they both kind of talked him into to doing what they wanted.
Basically he trusts madara because he told him the whole truth about itachi and he thinks madara wants the same goals as him
Not exactly, what did Sasuke do for Orochimaru than simply accept his
power offer from him? With Madara it has been capturing the Hachibi but after that what else. Take a look below:

His statement was said while Madara was around and has he complied with it as of yet? No, he hasn't and only seems to be after those held responsible for the massacre.

Here we have Sasuke changing his mind only because Madara tells him about Danzou and his whereabouts says that they are after the
Hokage's head (which means only Danzou and not the rest of the Kages)

When he awoke inside Madara's mask dimension, he told him to let him out.
Please, tell me that he is either brainwashed/manipulated/trusts/on Madara's side still with what I have just shown you. It is simply a use/use situation and Sasuke will accept help from him if it meant furthering his goal.
After knowing the truth I could see how it would be hard for Sasuke to go back to the same village that his clan was killed at.
Besides he is not done with his revenge. Madara and his space/time tech also would be a tech that you would want to have on your side anyways.
After this if he is trying to kill the rest of the elders he can just let Madara put him in the right spot and he goes MS crazy and finishes the job. Just like he did with Danzo. Offered him up as a "present" and Sasuke went all out on him (and I do hope he finishes the job or I will be disappointed)
This is not how I was hoping his character would develop but oh well it seems that is how it is turning out each chapter. I always thought he would be more like Kakashi at this point in the manga.
A rep for you for the points of view in your post ^.^
I think what previous posters have already theorized about Madara trying to get Sasuke to use his eyes to the point where he is blind and has to take Itachi's eyes,
I can't see any other reason that Madara is not just Taking him to his objectives and killing them rather than fighting with Kage's and everyone else in the Narutoverse before just going after his core goals of revenge on the elders.
Which is only about 4 more living people. With this fight being significant because it is 1 of those 4. I am sure Madara is on that list because of his involvement in the Uchiha Incident.
Besides Madara didn't take his brothers eyes until he was fully blind so he probably has a good understanding of the mindset "Well I will wait until the MS seals itself and has no light before even considering taking a person's eyes"
I am sure when he is blind he won't care about how he gets his vision restored. Which he seems rather picky about using Itachi's eyes right now, which I will never understand because EMS = power up and I am sure Itachi wouldn't have minded. He's dead what does he care about his eyes anymore.
The reason why he didn't take Itachi's eyes even though it was never revealed is obviously because he did not want to disturb his brother's corpse. He must of felt that if he did it would have been disrespectful/wrong to do so. After the
truth was revealed to him he completely changed how he felt/thought about his brother and regretted his brother's death and deeply mourned the loss. So I can see why he disagreed with the offer but you have a point where as once Sasuke goes blind and if his vengeance has yet to be fulfilled should leave him with the only option remaining which is taking Itachi's eyes (unless Kishi decides otherwise).
