All in all, the show should have been called Sasuke. Him vs Orochimaru, Deidara, Itachi, 5 Kage, Danzo, Kabuto etc. are some of the most awesome and memorable battles in the series.

Coincidentally, Naruto eluded to this during the tail-end of the Five Kage Summit arc:

Naruto: "What if we were on opposite sides of each other?"

Powers up Chidori; Sasuke forms the Rasengan.
