* Jiraiya telling Naruto that he must give up on Sasuke and he has valid reasons for saying that. It's not just because of what happened with Orochimaru, but even if that weren't the case, the way Sasuke has been altogether is just not the behavior of a good friend.
* A FridgeTearjerker is probably the fact that Sasuke's defection to Orochimaru considerably lessened his chances of ever being accepted back into the village community. One reason for that being is the following: In the Beginning of the Arc, Shikamaru makes it clear that he bears Sasuke no love, but is still willing to go after him for the sake of Shinobi Comradeship. After this disaster, many Shinobi would not even feel that anymore and consider how every member of the Sasuke-Retrieval Team is from an influential Clan of the Leaf. It would have been no surprise, if Shikaku Nara, Chouza Akimichi, Tsume Inuzuka and even Hiashi Hyuuga would not have been too pleased that the children, and in three cases their heirs, risked themselves for someone who voluntarily went to their enemy and used their influence in the village to make sure Sasuke would have been properly punished...one can only imagine how different things could have been for Sasuke, had he been brought back earlier.

Added DiffLines:

* The moments before the attack starts have a sad vibe of LastDayOfNormalcy for the entire Leaf Village. There is the little girl and her Grandmother, who aren't Ninja and probably just wanted to enjoy a day out together. Then there are Udon and Moegi, who are Ninja, but too young for the big time fights and are just enjoying sweets together, after a D-Rank Mission. There are also the Chunin, who are goofing off a bit on barrier duty, with Kotetsu chewing out a Hyuuga for using his Byakugan to cheat at cards. They are all enjoying the usual day-to-day happinesses of life in the Leaf Village, not knowing that this will be ripped away from them in a matter of minutes.

* The reason for any of this at all is because of Sasuke's sheer inner turmoil and self-loathing brought on by perceiving himself as weak. He's been losing constantly, meanwhile Naruto has only been growing stronger, and being a victim of a curse mark that might eventually kill him, he's more or less barred from learning more advanced techniques for fear that he might hurt himself or others if the curse grows out of control. As much as we see him try to gas himself up, at the end of the day Sasuke is still that same little boy who could do nothing but watch helplessly when Itachi came to the Uchiha compound in the night and destroyed everything and everyone he knew.

Sasuke does seem to have a almost pained expression after Sakura's pleas to him, echoing his "you're annoying" statement from years ago before silencing her with genjutsu.

* With the huge misuse of Edo Tensei in the Fourth Shinobi War, it brings up the question of why this technique was invented in the first place. Taking into account its creator Senju Tobirama and his past, it makes one wonder: why did Tobirama create the jutsu (and know so much about it, as evidenced when he tagged himself with Explosive Tags)? And then the realization that he might have been incentivized to create the technique after his brother's passing - because his older brother's death had really been too much to him.

However, due to primitive thinking and influence of war on the people, which prioritise action before reasoning, at that time, she was betrayed by Tenji, the man she falls in love for, who orders to execute her. Kaguya's assistant, Aino realises Kaguya was weakened because she had conceived Tenji's children and tried to stop their comrades but got killed in the process. Kaguya was forced to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to stop the war and since then, during the era of her sons, she creates the ritual of the divine tree that requires human sacrifice for the people their sons care for regularly as proper measures to achieve peace.
