I don't know why anyone is surprised by this, even if Sasuke never outright said it, this was obviously what he was referring to.

No one gets any insight points for something that was so vastly obvious. The only surprising thing was that he plans to kill the Kage. The beasts were his target ever since he attacked the Ten-Tails, everyone knew this. We also knew Sasuke wanted to keep Naruto alive so he could kill him himself, that was something Sasuke made clear during the battle with Obito as well.
