And it's not some waste of eyes whatsoever, since Izanagi has a certain time limit (1 minute per eye in Danzo's case), the eye is going to go blind anyway when the time passes, regardless how much damage was received and negated or avoided instead during this time period.

By dodging the shurikens he could have saved himself some time no matter how short because considering how drained sasuke was, it could have shifted the outcome. But I agree it was probably plot. Anyways, naruto wins.
