I'm taking the opportunity that I have five free minutes to put my Theories into words, so that when they don't get utterly Jossed I'll be able to dance and obnoxiously sing "I TOLD YOU SO / SO CALLED IT."
1. Tsunade = dead Hokage
Tsunade is gonna diiiiiiiie. ;_; She's gonna bite it, get the ax, suffer the Flashback o' Doom treatment.
Every single chapter that's coming in shows Tsunade going "I'M THE HOKAGE AND HAVE A DUTY TOWARD MY VILLAGE O:<" and kicking ass and having Faith in Naruto and spouting things such as "we need to trust the new generation, it's their job to protect Konoha now", all of which is diminishing her chances of survival by dreadful amounts.
On the one hand it's sad, 'cause I love Tsunade, on the other hand I'd be really happy is Kishi kills a female on the side of good, for once.
And also, the other two Sannin are dead, and Sasuke and Naruto each grew past the shadow of their mentor, and Tsunade dying would give Kishi an opportunity to focus more on Sakura.
I hope it'll be kickass.
2. Sasuke = is right
Kishi is preemptively justifying Sasuke going after, and maybe even effectively killing, the elders.
That's one of the reasons he got Danzou to kill the toad messenger to get Naruto back (the other reasons are that it allows him to delay Naruto's return, and of course milking the Tsunade/Danzou tension for all it's worth).
Because I think it's telling that the elders suddenly stopped kicking a fuss in the face of Tsunade's determination to get Naruto back, and that after everyone left the room Danzou appears and kills the messenger.
It seems probable, if not obvious, that the elders were the ones who went and warned Danzou.
So the elders are in the same bag as Danzou, and if Tsunade and/or other people die because of that interference of theirs, then taking action against them is the right thing. They're traitors.
Sasuke may not be after them for the "right reasons", but he's in the right.
3. Team Seven = 0T3 Forever
This ain't a theory, just a reminder of what I'm rooting for. Also, FACT.
