 * If Sasuke wasn't shielded by Plot Armor, Danzō would have killed him. He was holding back because he assumed he would have to fight Tobi as well. Sasuke was already a wreck after the beating he got from the other Kage and their bodyguards, and he was barely standing by the time Team Kakashi reunited. 100% plot convenience that Sasuke survived.

Honestly, that entire portion seemed odd to me. We have Sasuke... we can all agree that he has natural talent, boosted by his time training with Kakashi and Orochimaru. But even still, jeez...he went toe-to-toe with A, Onoki, Mei, several Samurai, and a few Kage bodyguards, before finally leaving the Summit altogether to have a fight with kage-level Danzo, a fight that he somehow wins, and then after all this he duels Kakashi to the point that Kakashi... Kakashi... freaks out and says, "THIS IS BAD!"

A single shinobi teenager, not even through with his training yet, fought his way successfully through all those opponents?? He should have been too tired and taxed after just A to continue; he not only continued but he murdered Danzo and made prodigy-future-Hokage Kakashi worry. Keep this in mind.

Now, fast forward. Remember this panel, Ch. 664? Black Zetsu possessing the body of Obito shortly after the Juubi was extracted from him, and in front of him we have Minato and Kakashi, exhausted and panting, unable to bring down Black freaking Zetsu.

I see a problem here. Sasuke -- a hero of the plot, a still developing teen shinobi -- overcomes and keeps standing despite combating several very potent foes. Minato and Kakashi -- regarded as masterclass, full grown prodigy ninja -- are struggling and panting, fighting an unconscious-Obito-carrying Black Zetsu.

I see a problem here.
