Hmm. You might have a point. But I think for Sasuke it would be different, this time.

Yup. Break up the pattern. Naruto failing. And Sasuke running to Oro. That would be different. LIke I've said, we'll see Sasuke learn from Oro, then eventually kills Oro. He'll probably go missing for years.. and well see him make a comeback as a different person. Probably one lusting for firepower, that he'll go to any extent... maybe even trying to take the kyuubi from Naruto, just to kill Itachi.

But I have a feeling, learning from Orochimaru would probably advance his abilities by a huge ammount. Probably/hopefullly putting him on par with Itachi in the far future.
