Yeah, plot wise I thought so too.
Because either this is going to be the last big battle arc, in which they're going to go down like dominoes with Sasuke and Naruto growing steadily closer to one another until the end. Or Sasuke is going to go after a completely different target, knocking the legs out from under Naruto and the alliance. And the plot could continue on indefinitely.
(Best example is at the end of ATLA, season 2, where everyone was reunited for the big invasion on the fire nation. Plot-wise it looks like a straightforward ending. But it's a bust. And season 3 returns the focus to the group, and significantly Aang and Zukos' hero's journey.)
But it may just be that he's throwing other cast members out periodically so we don't forget about them. Like the little scene with TenTen and the bananafan.

I have to admit, I went back and checked the chapters. What I thought I remembered is different than what's actually there.
You are right that the clone army is complete, which is different than white Zetsu's other appearances.
But I think there is enough from the Kage conference to cast doubt that white Zetsu (the "real" one) died this chapter. The white zetsu that the Raikage killed was also incomplete. And from chapter 466, even those new spore white Zetsus were halve-ses. Unless someone puts a paint mark and a radio tag on the initial white Zetsu that split off from the black Zetsu, it is too easy to image that it cloned itself off-page. (Including the one babysitting Sasuke.)
I was also looking at ch 487. After the (Kisame) shape-shifting disguise is dropped, the head under black Zetsu's arm has the white Zetsu half-head. And the white Zetsu arguing kept talking about itself in the first person, when talking about the decapitated dead one. It just seems like white Zetsu has all of the abilities of shadow clones, except that any of them seems to be as "real" as any other.

I'm surprised at the lack of Windusers in the allience, thought they'd be more from Sand that just Temara, then we have both the Tsuchkage and Gaara, who require the wind element to make their Dust and Sand, so surely they should be classed as Wind Element users as well. I don't know which translation to beeeive, MangaReaders or Mangastream I'd reather beleive Mangareader, makes more sense that there would be other Wind Users just not as powerful as Temara, 2 in 100,000 is way too rare.

(Tenten is using the banana fan, but I don't know what her element is anyways. )
There are multiple fan-users in images of the army.
Besides, I already raised the possibility (even if that is the right translation) that Temara was interrupted by Naruto:
"To be honest, in this alliance, apart from me, there aren't any other wind users... ...strong enough to hurt him."

I think Kishimoto has purposely been writing him to be a bit more cocky and ultra-confident lately so that it would be his one weakness that'll probably get him caught by madara/Kabuto and possibly even killed. We're heading towards to final fight when Madara summons the Juubi so sasuke will probably have a minor fight with Naruto where he defeats naruto and obtains the kyuubi. then I sense a narusaku moment :o and then a revival of naruto.....blah blah blah OVA

I STRONGLY believe that the end of the Naruto series is even close to begin with. The reason being that Kishi said in volume 48 that his series won't end for a very long time. That's my story and I'm sticking with it until I'm either proven right or wrong.
I'm looking forward to next week's chapter. :True:

That is infact Naruto's clone Saving people. In the last chapter Naruto's used to much of the nine tails chakra.

Also, I'm going to assume that the Mangareader translation is more accurate. Even if Wind-Style users are rare, I have a really tough time believing there's only two in the 100,000 man alliance. And that we coincidentally happen to know both of them from early in the plot.
I'm probably just being too optimistic, but does anyone else think the 2011 OVA scenario might actually happen in the manga? Sasuke's making his appearance so early, I wonder if the Naruto vs. Sasuke fight really will happen before the end of the series, like the OVA implied. Also, the fact he's using so much of the Kyuubi Chakra might explain why he doesn't use it in the OVA. Plus, since the OVA came out at the beginning of the year, it would make sense for the scenario to happen sometime in 2011.
Though I guess I just really want that end scenario to happen, LOL. I think another Naruto vs. Sasuke fight will be the perfect way for Sakura to get out of the emotional limbo she's in, and finally realize she loves Naruto more. After all, the last time they clashed, who's name did she yell out? *crosses fingers*

As for the chapter, it's the best one in the war arc so far. Others were okay but not really exciting.

Sasuke asked Madara to transplant Itachi's eyes onto him.

Don't bash Sasuke. We're fairly lenient on stuff here at the forums, but bashing characters is a big no-no.
You know, I still don't think even with the Eternal Mangekyou, that Sasuke's up to Naruto's level right now. His only defense that can stand up to Naruto's power is that Susano'o and that intangibility that Madara uses...If that's actually part of the Eternal Mangekyou skill set. It's likely the same ability that Danzou used except the Sharingan can't be blinded after its one use.
The Izanagi. That's what the technique is called.
