There are so many possibilities with these encounters... flashbacks about Hashirama, perhaps the Senju, and how he eventually died? A reunion between Hiruzen and Orochimaru is bound to be interesting. Seeing Sasuke interact with Minato will also be pretty cool. Somehow I can't see a meeting with people as wise and courageous as the previous Hokages leading Sasuke to believe a path of vengeance is the correct one... we shall see.
Orochimaru doesn't seem to be that evil anymore. I wonder what his deal is at this point.. he's got his jutsu back (which he apparently lacked even after gaining a new body), and he's got the four Hokages under his Edo Tensei (although he hasn't placed tags in them yet). I wonder how Orochimaru will end up... personally, I foresee another bad guy redemption for him. Orochimaru just hasn't seemed as sinister since his humbling revival at the hands of his former guinea pigs.
I'm mostly looking forward to what Hashirama has to say, and the implications of Naruto gaining new Kyuubi chakra.
To think that the Uzumaki Clan had a set of masks hidden within Konoha, capable of calling upon the Death God! I wonder what the other masks do?
And why did the summoning have to take place next to the Uchiha tablet?!
I felt like so many of the mysteries in this series were answered when everything was revealed regarding Madara/Obito/Zetsu/Nagato/etc, but all of those revelations fit squarely with some of leading theories (many of which were considered almost 100% accurate). The oncoming wave of revelations will probably be a TON of game-changers, which is incredibly refreshing at this point.
I really liked Orochimaru commenting on Sasuke's feelings, returning to Konoha to destroy it... it really ties in with what we've seen from Obito, and both those made a nice contrast to Naruto's return at the beginning of Part 2. Always standing at the highest point of the village, across from the Hokage Mountain.
