Things might turn bad real quick for Sasuke. I know what he is planning to do (backstab or fight naruto) or perhaps try to gain a powerup alongside it. But with the Sasuke I know, his jealousy is far too strong at this point for him to fight Naruto after he is recovered. His only chance is fighting him while he is weak which is where Sakura and 635 come into play. The three-way deadlock. I'm thinking the ending of the next volume (the final chapter) will be dedicated to sasuke going evil mode again.
Because since part 1, he can't live without feeling superior to Naruto. Like it's another thing he can't give up on.
Well, I don't want to make guesses in how long it will take. The other Bijuus have to be removed from the Juubi in order to completely stop it. Who knows how that's going to happen?
Remember, Sasuke went to the dark side when Naruto was shown to be stronger. Itachi reminded Sasuke that he wants revenge, but it was Naruto that drove him for power. Pretty much, it is Kishi's way of saying that Sasuke's driving force is Naruto in a hidden way. That's why Itachi acknowledged that Naruto and Sasuke are made to be like brothers. Recall the moment in the hospital. Kakashi once said that Naruto is forcing him to go for power because Naruto caught up if not surpassed him. When he remembers Itachi's meeting, he recalled that he only came for Naruto, as to say, "He's more value than you, Sasuke." I don't remember if it was anime or manga as well, but I remember Sasuke saying that he's more special than Naruto. That's incredibly selfish. So now, after so long, he's finally witnessing it again and it cannot be good if his driving force (Naruto) is getting the best of him. He won't go all one man army to the point he kills his friends (Team Taka) per se, but he will seek something that people won't be comfortable with. That all said now it's the bad time because 635 proves that no one is on his side, so this could only confirm it.
I remember it. Sasuke said that during the valley of the end fight, when he first entered second stage of the cursed seal. I'm only sure that he said it in the anime, but since it's a canon arc, he most likely said the same thing in the manga.
