The reincarnation thing only meant that Naruto and Sasuke would be rivals. The fact that they had a friendship in the end made meant that they did have control becaise they were destined to hate eachother.

Literally everything else that happened to Sasuke and all the choices he made were his. The path he walked was his own.

The Uchiha and Senju were in war with eachother and Izuna rejected the help. Madara was honoring his brother's wishes. Izuna probably wouldnt have accepted the help and there was no guarentee he would be saved if he did.

You are tripping about Madara and nobody made retcons to their characters. Madara was never a cold hearted madman and you just seem mad that he had a greater purpose and was an extremist instead of nutjob sadist like Hidan. And even as a well-intentioned extremist he still merced anyone in has way without a second thought, toying with most of his enemies so its not like his motives changed much about his approach to combat. If you dont think what he did to Obito and Rin was cruel then idk to tell you. Hashirama and Madara's relationship was explored fairly in-depth and far from underwritten.

Honestly i dont know why you have such a boner over Mito. She had like 3 panels of screen time and none of it was about her being a badass. She isnt stated to be a major player at all in the series.
