I totally forgot about Kabuto possibly being a factor...yeah you know what? I'd actually love that to happen. At that point, even if Orochimaru's sharingan wet dreams are over, there might be some kind of completion of the Kabutoro construct and be a major power up for Orochimaru. Kabuto's powers while pretty formidable, have been pretty much dwarved by Naruto and Sasuke, and Akatsuki. There's almost no motivation for him to be around anymore. So if he were to show up, this could be the end of him as a separate entity for ever. I'm cool with that.
