Obito did, he smirked when Sasuke stabbed Danzo and Karin.
He doesn't even need a plan. We literally were perfectly happy a couple of days ago until this happened. This is the one thing he didn't have to do and he f**cked up, he deserves every bit of criticism is about to get for it. Every time people criticized him in the past I would look at it from his perspective and try to defend him with what he was trying to portray....here, there's no two ways about it he f**cked up.
Its like trying to defend a child who other parents are accusing of misbehaving and you defend him because he tells you with teary eyes that he wasn't misbehaving then you catch him skinning a squirrel.
It is like James told me once. Either he is way too smart for a writer manipulating us by the stuff he writes or...well he's totally lost his mind XD.
The more I thing about it, the more I think that it bends towards the former and NOT the latter. I am not even joking. A glaring evidence of this is Sakura's confession to Naruto in LOI. She said the EXACT same things which we are saying right now.
'All you do is Sasuke kun Sasuke kun Sasuke kun. You don't care what happens to you and you forget other stuff when you think about him' Isn't this what some people who were criticizing Naruto, said about him?
Sakura's love....don't even get me started on this. Sasuke's words seemed like they directly came from Kishi. It was as if he knows that he is writing Sakura that way. It was not to show her dedication or anything....it was just...like that. Sasuke's words really felt like Kishi was speaking to us readers on Sakura's feelings for him.
Sai' interpretation....again it was as if Kishi was speaking through him. And like the ones I mentioned, there are many other instances as well wherein it feels like Kishi is talking through the characters and he purposely portrays the characters like that and he wants us to give the reactions we give albeit....some instances. There are some instances where he has screwed up as well.
I dunno if I have again explained my stance well in here....but if its the way I am saying......that sly bastard knows full well what he is writing and how he is writing the characters. He probably has a plan chalked down as well. Now, whether it'd be convincing or not....remains to be seen.
