I was always expecting a Naruto/Sasuke tag team (who wasn't?) but their current power-up is an actual deus ex machina. The younger generation didn't overcome the old - they were literally handed power by Grandpa Plotdevice. I get that this was necessary because Kishi goofed and wrote himself into a corner by making Madara too strong, but it still disappoints me a little. As for Sasuke and Naruto's implausible seamless teamwork - yep, I agree. But this was glossed over last year when Team Seven were reuinted, so it would seem strange for them to suddenly have trouble working together now. Though trouble using their new powers in tandem, maybe...
I also am not sure why they don't just stab Black Zetsu. I mean, he doesn't seem to be able to attack them, and she has a knife right there...
This is a really good point. Obito is going to die anyway once Black Zetsu is gone, so acting like Obito is BZ's meatshield is stupid. But of course, the real reason is Kishi needs Obito to die redeeming himself. I'm guessing he's going to get in the way of one of Madara's attacks to save Sakura (Remember when she said she was going to be just as much a part of Team Seven as the boys? Whatever happened to that? Granted, it's Madara, but Kishi had her fight for like one chapter then forgot about her. Naruto even did the impossible and healed Gai - I would've much preferred for the actual medical ninja of the team to do it if he had to survive at all).
Madara stealing Kakashi's eye was pretty brutal. We didn't even get a real reaction from Kakashi it was just Madara going, "That Sharingan will look so much better in my eye socket -yoink!" I think Madara's going to get at least one more power up: he'll probably get his other Rinnegan back and stick it in his forehead or something.
As for Sakura, once all the parallels between Ashura/Indra, Mada/Hash, Naruto/Sasuke became known is it really surprising? I only expected her to be able to execute her ninja duties as effectively as her medical duties. Even when Madara and Hashi fought at Vote, Mito's role wasn't emphasized as much. I can't think of any females who were emphasized in any of these parallel relationships except for Kaguya. She became the god like monster that had to be defeated by Hagoromo and his brother. Madara has become the modern day Kaguya in essence.
The relationships between brothers are what Kishi has emphasized since the beginning. And now that Naruto and Sasuke are in effect brothers, there really is no place for her now.
