So I guess this chapter concludes Madara's history lesson on Uchiha and Itachi. It was more like a wrapping up on what we already know more or less.

Itachi has been the driving force for Sasuke gaining strength and making the blood survive in a proud manner. At least, Madara's story has been consistent in that regards. His plans were really moving well. At least, his prediction on his brother's growth was correct. There would have been change of plans, but, he would have put those plans right on track sooner or later. And, if Madara was aware of Itachi's intentions before he joined Akatsuki, then how was Madara able to prevent information leakage? He was surely hiding a lot from Itachi, including Pain. Considering that Jiraiya's internal source on Akatsuki was Itachi, how Madara limited that significantly (as Jiraiya was hardly getting any information) was interesting. I wonder if the pair system was formed basically to limit that kind of betrayal.

Still, after this chapter, there are a few questions left, like Itachi's disease, and whether it has any relation to his Uchiha blood. If not, the source of that. The fly trapper was not aware of that, so, this may go directly to the top.

And, it is interesting that Sasuke hasn't questioned Madara regarding Kyuubi's comments. Was there a Kyuubi container before, and did Madara summon Kyuubi by doing something to that container?
