Heh, controversial.

But let's be honest, as much as it sucks.
Mangekyou is a sort of ultimate weapon. So far, there is no way out. So Itachi either has to die, or, kills everyone else. Woot. So, Kishimoto is in a pinch.
He has to construct some weirdness so that Itachi can be beaten.

I doubt it will be a full fledged mangekyou, but I think we will se something along the line of the dots uniteing to one big snake-eye like thing. Would look nasty in Kakashi's face.
