Kishi had to take a break, the creative juices weren't there so we have to pardon him and hope next makes sense but I have this hunch that kabuto flash back pt 2 is coming. Even though I want see where this fight is going I am more interested in Naruto's next transformation, we have seen fox chakra mode, sage mode, kyubi mode and now biiju mode. I'm thinking the next one would be naruto senin of six nature paths.
He senjutsu to form sage and with kurama out of his cage, at full strength he supplies life energy then u add 6 gifts, there u have it the new & improved Naruto.
As for sasuke n itachi, something is up with itachi, sasuke might not have the experience in using his new eyes he is capable of using Susan I + he was the one who broke kabuto jutsu so what is itachi doing waiting for or is it that if izanami is Isa jutsu that decides destiny maybe itachi is going transfer shisui genjutsu and rewrite kabuto ideas to keep the leaf village safe and the first order is release the edo tensei zombies which means bye bye itachi and Edo madara, then sasuke can kill kabuto.
