Yamato being able to rescue himself would actually be a nice touch. And would curtail that lingering damsel-in-distress impression lurking in the corners of my brain, too. ^_^; It would be awesome if he was the key to bringing down Madara. I doubt he could do it on his own at this point - he's always said his abilities pale in comparison to the original even when he's in optimum health, and I don't imagine he'll be anywhere near full strength when he gets out of that statue. But surely there's a role to be had there, all the same. *hopeful*
Sasuke and Suigetsu and Juug do make a good team. Hopefully they all stick together in the future. Suigetsu continues as the voice of reason in the following chapter, also, even if no one's listening to him. Poor guy. At least he has the sense to still be freaked out by Orochimaru. Looks like Anko will disappear from the story again, now that her usefulness has been served; disappointing, but...not like I expected any different. *sigh*
As a side-note, I'm bracing myself for a resurgence of that OroTenzou thing I was ranting about a little while ago now that Orochimaru is back in the picture. Even though, from what he says, he should know that Yamato is down below and yet he's leaving without doing anything about it. Not a very shippy decision, but I'm sure the shippers can spin it regardless. It's what shippers do. And honestly, it's not like I've got room to complain when I spent a couple years shipping NiiKou early in my Saiyuki phase. T_T;
I guess the ET could-have-beens will have to be left to fandom to provide. *sigh*
