Well, for the record, the flashbacks are HEAVILY toned down, and they are in no way going to be repeated like in the manga. The only Rin flashback we have is her death; not even the "I'm always watching" flashback will make the cut. So yeah, we just see the Sasuke flashback, and then boom, we have the minimal stuff we need/want to know. The truth flashback, meanwhile, will be heavily reduced. I'll go ahead and give the brief outline for it: it starts off with the Nine-Tails Attack and the Uchiha getting blamed for it, Konoha learning of the coup de tat, Itachi's forced slaughter and joining Akatsuki, and that oh so traumatic revelation of the single thing he loved the most. It can be pretty short without going into too much detail; this isn't the 45th volume of the series, after all.
