Exactly. This whole story has become about how the Ninja system destroys peoples lives. From the very start of the series we have examples, Zabuza & Haku, Kabuto, obviously Sausuke, and even Naruto have been "tragic" victims of the cold ninja system. Now the story has to end off with Naruto tearing down the system and changing everything so that "no one has to suffer."
In that sense this flashback fits into place albeit its running a few chapters too long at this rate...
