This might sound a little whacko. Wear a helmet right now before reading.
So at this point we could assume that Kishimoto might be doing something here to prepare for the Naruto v Sasuke fight. First of all, post-timeskip Sasuke defeats a weakened Orochimaru. By doing this he absorbs his powers, making Sasuke even more powerful then before. But when Sasuke confronts Itachi, Orochimaru's absorbed powers are eliminated due to Itachi's Susano-o. Now, Sasuke's level in the food chain is about the same as before Oro's confrontation.
Then we see Jiraiya talking about "the key", which he said would help Naruto balance with his training. After a couple of more chapters, Naruto will eventually find out about the key. And if he does this, then we see that Naruto will control his Kyuubi more and avoid using this in battle. This is basically strengthening Naruto's real kyuubiless power, which as Yamato stated is the only way Naruto could help Sasuke.
So for what reason will Oro just pop out of nowhere and get owned? Sasuke's need for strength at that time could have been a logical reason, but it is sort of a random move for Oro to appear and disappear in a short amount of time. It leaves no purpose to the plot. The only reason i could think of is that Kishi wants Sasuke to lose most of his Oro hax to be on par with Naruto, furthermore preparing him for their epic rematch. Kishi intended this to strengthen Naruto with the Key so he and Sasuke would be close to the same level of strength. Just think about it. If the two were to fight with Kyuubi and Oro, then it would not accurately prove who is stronger. In simpler words, the fight would suck, and will ruin the entire manga.
I just find it interesting that Kishi might have intended "Oro's magic trick" for this special battle.
