That akatsuki guy SETSU i believe its his name...( the one with one half whie and the other half black).

will carry a mayor part in the future. Like saying "now that madara is dead we can ..." And go to the next Twist we need to continue the series.

And with all the mess and lose ends he(the mangaka) is making with the series we will stop folowing the akatsuki plot for a while and going Full ahead with the "Danzo is the bad guy plot and he is Orochimaru's instigator".
