Even if Sasuke really believed his only mission in life is killing Itachi, he wouldn't have a single bit of guarantee Oro would actually do that once he got the body.

Other than that, I don't even think it would have fit Sasuke's personality to give up the control to somebody else and trust that somebody else's abilities and determination more than his own. Who knows, some little part of his mind might also believe in a future after killing Itachi.
So then you knew this was going to happen? I figured Sasuke *might* not just hand over his body, but as far as attacking Oro head on--no, I didn't figure that. I didn't need a crap load of foreshadowing and flashbacks to ruin the surprise of the moment. It's like someone trying to throw a surprise party for a friend and telling them to dress up for a special event they want to take them to, but they won't say what it is.
