Sasuke is filled with hatred and bile. I think the intent of this chapter/section is to give Team 7 a chance to reconcile their differences. With Sasuke effectively neutered for the next episode he will have little choice but to talk, and we all know how chatty Naruto is.
The discussion will fail and Sakura will learn of Konoha's killing of the Uchiha clan. There will be a mini fight in which Naruto will soundly stomp Sasuke into the ground and then Madara/Zetsu will come to save the day. Sasuke will realize he needs more power (not to mention the ability to see clearly) and will ask Madara for help, putting himself further under Madara's influence.
I'm really looking forward to what Kakashi will do. My guess is Kakashi will want to kill Sasuke still but Naruto won't allow it. Sakura will sideline herself (when doesn't she) once she learns of the whole Uchiha business.
Oh and there will be about a billion more fillers. I expect to be staring into Sasuke's deep, grey, eyes for at least another 3 episodes.
Good insight into the cloak part. It didn't look like a cloak to me, but that must just be poor animation on the anime's part. I think that each layer represents just how much chakra/hatred he is pouring into Susano'o.I think that's all just his Susano'o. Everytime Sasuke's hatred increases, it seems to grow another layer.
Started out a skeleton. Then grew muscle. Then grew skin and a bow and arrow. And now is wrapped in some kind of living cloak.
Perhaps MS is like a battery. You need to take a break after using it extensively, and each time you use it the total amount of time you can use it before recharging decreases slightly. That would make Sasuke's blindness temporary and, really, makes a lot of sense (intermittent blindness followed by full blown blindness is easier to correlate than sudden blindness).
