Probably yet another theory about what is about to happen with these five people (that is of course, assuming that the other three don't butt in), especially since not only do they know "everything" but also, may be able to change Sasuke. Albeit a bit.
From where I see it, we Manga Readers haven't got the slightest hint, confirmation or proof that the story Obito told Sasuke after his fight with Itachi is true. And I'm not talking about The Uchiha massacre per se, but mostly about what happened during the times before the Hidden Villages. This point, of course, shall be explained by Hashirama and perhaps even Tobirama. Tobirama has been considerably underrated, though I won't say it's completely ilogical that he has, because we haven't seen much from him... Or actually, we haven't seen nothing aside of a powerful Suiton back in part 1.
In my opinion, Hashirama will expose how the Senju never intended to hate the Uchiha, and that once Konoha was formed, he never intended to seclude them or force them into serving him as loyal dogs. I think Hashirama was kind and caring, and if he is the first weilder of the Will of Fire, all the more so. Maybe Madara was just frustrated that his brother had given up his eyes to him and died for the Clan, just so their fight with the Senjuu would be equal, but then the fight was suddenly over and done with... Making his brother's death pointless. Up until here, is when Tobirama takes the baton, and explains his aims with making the Uchiha the Police Force of Konoha.
This is where it gets interesting for both you and me, because it's at this point that we find out what really happened between Tobirama and the Uchiha Clan. By the time Hiruzen was named 3rd Hokage, there was an Uchiha on their squad (Kagami) remember...? This somehow tells me that even then, Tobirama still trusted the Uchiha as allies.
Something I will never really understand is, if Hashirama didn't die at his fight with Madara, how DID he die? Disease? Assassination? Because Mito remained alive all the way until Kushina's time.
The way I see it, it all began with Danzo. I think he is one of the few who started suspecting the Uchiha, right from Madara's apparent death. After all, their reputation of "killing their best friends to obtain the Mangekyou and their brothers to remain able to see" had spread for long enough. Soon, There would be an Uchiha with enough power to control the Kyuubi... So, from my point of view, The Third Hokage holds the answer to when did the discrimination against Uchiha's begin. Hashirama and Tobirama have much to tell, of course, and I'm sure their story might uncover some ugly secrets about the Uchiha Clan, even though Hashirama might very easily be aware of their relationship with the Sage of the Six Paths and might have been interested in stopping the hatred between one family and the other.
We could possibly get the real story about the Younger Son and the Elder Son from Hashirama's lips.
As for Minato, I think we have seen from him and Hiruzen as much as we've seen from Tobirama. Many would think otherwise, but I believe there is much more to Minato than what we have seen. His Element affinity, for example. Many other sealing techniques. I'm sure Minato is much more than just Hiraishin no Jutsu and Rasengan, despite the fact that people would hate to admit that, and despite the fact that people still like to put him below Obito, Itachi and whatnot. Besides, saying that these four (by the way, "these four" includes Minato, for those Uchiha lovers who adore underrating him) KNOW EVERYTHING, even from Orochimaru, is quite the statement. And it is all the more impressive from Minato, because he's way YOUNGER than Orochimaru himself.
Minato, on top of that, is the one who will make Sasuke realize just how much has he been used and manipulated by Obito. Hell, there are so many, many, many, many things that can be triggered just by having Minato alive...
1) Kyuubi's second half of its chakra
2) Realizing his student is right now the main enemy of the entire world
3) Meeting Naruto
4) Just the fact that he is Naruto's father, will bring both Hashirama and Sasuke to the conversation. Sasuke for having a connection to him, and Hashirama for having married the Uzumaki who started the Kyuubi Jiinchuuriki line.
In fact, I think one of the most interesting things that will happen is a mutual sharing of information between all the Hokage's. Minato having seen everything Naruto went through and the state Konoha has been in since the Third died, would be the one reason why the others will know what's going on around there.
I have high expectations for the Second Hokage to render Orochimaru's control useless. Though there is a plothole in here... If he DID invent that jutsu, why didn't he deactivate it once he was summoned to fight against Hiruzen in part 1? I kind of recall Tobirama acting a bit confused when he was brought up at that time, as if he didn't know what kind of technique was being used. If anyone can prove me wrong, please do. I request being gentle and not smart ass.
Anyway, Orochimaru's uninterested behaviour towards the war doesn't strike me as a reason not to let the Hokage participate. I personally think once Sasuke (and we) gets his answers, he'll obviously go: "I'll tear the face of that piece of ****, who does he think he is, treating me like his pawn?"... At which point I won't know if I'll say: "**** you, you're still a psychopath murderer who hurts Naruto" or: "Yeah, go kick his ass with Naruto and make peace with him, become a Leaf Ninja once again please." I don't know. I will absolutely sure as hell have mixed feelings about this guy.
Is it because Sasuke is like God in our real world? In the sense that I don't hate God Himself, but rather His annoying fans? I can't say. But surely, Kishi has made a nice move letting us see all the Hokage reunited, and I seriously hope for this:
"
1) Hashirama vs Madara
2) Minato vs Obito
3) Tobirama, Hiruzen and Shinobi Alliance vs Juubi
4) The fated fight between Naruto and Sasuke.
