#Naruto ch482: I should've known this would happen. Fate is fate afterall. #manga 

OK, mercy shown, Madara's plan revealed just a bit, Sakura outsmarting the rest of her comrades. All this equals Sakura & Sasuke meeting. I'll give the mangaka credit, this could go any number of ways, though the outcome will never be "Sakura wins, Sasuke relinquishes his goals, Happy Ever After".

Not to mention Naruto's on the way. Though I can't believe Yamato would be fooled that easily by Shadow clones. In any case, it looks like Sasuke doesn't have to come to Konoha; Konoha's coming to him.
