Which makes me wonder why he didn't bother to really fight back; maybe they're almost done by now?

Well, in the flashbacks of Sasuke about Itachi he was also passive in the past. Myabe not that much as now, but it's just him. Not the situation, I like his style though. Instead of Naruto who always has too much of sugar. Being his hyperactive self.

The extraction should take 3 days they said, even more because Oro isn't there anymore. And who has a sense of time in the Naruto universe, we don't know it, but the last 3 episodes involving the "fights" could have happened in only half an hour.
