I think people only remember Tayuya because there are lots of fans that like shipping her with Shikimaru...though that has been replaced with HinataxTayuya fans recently (which is admittedly much hotter
)
(Plus many thought she was a potential Uzumaki based on the anime depiction of her hair colour.)

Which is exactly what I said earlier
, but you disliked the fact that I included Kabuto as well...

Orochimaru and Danzou never had extensive flashbacks. Each has had maybe a few pages in a chapter at best.
That being said, I do not expect any flashbacks from Madara. Kishimoto will have already abused the technique extensively this year, so adding yet more flashbacks would be simply annoying.
