Well we're just having a semantic disagreement. It's not a plot hole to me as it doesn't affect anything else or any other part of the story. It's simply that according to the rules of the setting Kishi needed to handwave it with a soldier pill, Cursed Seal, a scroll that had chakra already stored...anything because otherwise Sasuke should've just died pulling that stunt.

But we agree there's no way in hell it should've happened the way it did.

You're joking right? Of course it effects the plot of the story. Itachi wouldn't have died then the attack on the 5 Kage meeting wouldn't have happened. Orochimaru wouldn't have been revived so the Hokages wouldn't have been at the war and so on until the very end. Also Kishimoto never stated anything like that so he left us with half-assed writing just to keep his favorite character alive.
