(EDITED)

Sasuke can do all five elements because he has the Rinnegan. From the Rinnegan's page on this site, it states that: "One who possesses the Rinnegan has access to a multitude of abilities, such as the potential to master all five basic nature transformations and the capacity to use any technique."

I remember someone in the Naruto universe saying that if a ninja is really skilled, they can do more than one chakra nature. And that it takes a really, really skilled ninja (Jonin-rank) to do three chakra natures. (like Mei for example) Since there's a huge timeskip in the epilogue, they have new chakra natures because they are all super-skilled?

I don't think this is the case either because... Itachi also has some changes. He now has Wind Release, Yin Release and Yang Release on his. The reference was the Fourth Databook. (in Itachi's page) Someone told me that an example of Yin Release was Genjutsu so I guess that explains the Yin part. But Wind and Yang? I don't remember him doing those ninjutsu.
