Also the reason why he 'joined' Akatsuki and helped Obito is because he wanted to get more power and to kill 'Uchiha Madara' he never really was on Obito's side. As far as I remember, it was Sasuke who tried to stab Sakura with Chidori first, even before she made her own attempt to stab him. Also, there's no reason to believe that Sasuke tried to kill "Madara" during his quest for revenge on Konoha since Tobi convinced him that Itachi's words about him initiating Nine-Tails attack on village and participating in Uchiha massacre are mere lies meant to keep Sasuke away from "Madara". I cannot recall any other reasons for Sasuke to kill Tobi before he changed his ways and decided to protect Konoha instead.
