Here's my guess as to how the manga will progress from this point.
It seems like we are nearing the climax of the Naruto Shippuden series. At this point it seems like there may only be like one or two arcs, but that's just speculation.
Here's my guess:
Killer Bee and Naruto fight Madara
Madara kills Killer Bee, then Naruto overpowers and/or defeats Madara through rage
Sasuke fights Kabuto, Pein, and Itachi
Sasuke wins easily in order to show how overpowered the EMS is, while Kabuto escapes.
Madara reconvenes with Sasuke and learns about Kabuto's betrayal. He tells Sasuke to deal with Naruto, while Madara says he will deal with Kabuto
Kabuto defeats Madara using unknown powers (?????) and steals his plan with the juubi
Naruto and Sasuke fight and then they are about dead even and about to kill each other, but then Kabuto comes and reveals his plans and Madara's lies. Kabuto nearly kills Sasuke, but Naruto saves his life so Sasuke stops his raging towards the village.
Kabuto withdraws from battle after underestimating Naruto's power and the war is won by the nations.
Sasuke becomes part of the village again and then Kabuto becomes the main antagonist.
Mine probably sucks, but I can't think of anything better. Anyone have any better ideas?
Dont agree with Sasukes change of heart by Naruto saving him. I still feel Itachi will have something to do with it

Seems like a decent theory
Although I'd rather sasuke be the antagonist
I think they will do a thing like the 1st hokage vs Madara
But Sasuke vs Naruto
And when they fight, naruto will have *Harashimas* silhouette and Sasuke will have *Madaras* as they stare at each other in the valley of the end

This except of course it will be the fourths silhouette not Hashiramas

thats what i was actually thinking. i just didn't post it cause i forgot about it haha. but i honestly think that the person in the coffin is madara and tobi is some rando.
which would make complete sense
edit: also i think tobi could be shisui uchiha. he could have used izanagi to survive? it would make sense for things to be him
Why wouldn't that one dude from the 5 Kage summit have noticed Shisuis chakra then inside him? Like how he knew Danzo had one of shisuis eyes (Ao, was his name)
