Madara is in a precarious situation right now because Sasuke AND Kabuto, are both about maxxed out with hax's and powers, and neither one will continually be a lackey to Madara. The fire for the flame, Sasuke detest anything, or anyone to do with Orochimaru, who was basically pimping him. Gasoline drawers for Kabuto, he uses Sasuke's brother, of all the people he coulda got. They won't last long peacefully, and both will be more of a hinderance to Madara's plan, than the ENTIRE Kage Force, with all 80,000 soldiers. And I'd bet anybody on that.
