Kabuto definitely needs to escape, because ahe's going to be taking the place of the Four, accosting Sasuke after the Uchiha gets out of hospital from the beating Kimimaro gave him before going on to lose to Rikou and Hinata - Kabuto's goal is to form take Orochimaru's place as head of Sound and take revenge on Konoha for killing the snake before Kabuto was finished learning everything he wanted from him. His offer is the same old L2 curse seal power up and more training to face Itchy-kun, claiming that the Sound Five's L2 forms were weak because they were, but that Sasuke could rival one of the great youkai with one. (And for the record, I don't care what Kishimoto says on this, no he damn well can't!)
Later that night, Sasuke is frustrated because of his indescision and slams the shoji as he leaves to wander around and talk - his team photo slips off the shelf and falls to the floor. He wanders around thinking in circles and finds himself in front of Tenten's house, cue scene mentioned before, after talking for a bit he heads back to his house, still undecided, notices the picture on the floor... dammit, he hates that picture. The photographer snapped it just as he was sneaking a look at the slightly older kunoichi, and it makes him look like a shy little boy with a crush instead of a strong shinobi, no better than one of his annoying fangirls... He grimaces, then plops it back down.... on the shelf... and grumbles in annoyance as he gets the stand on the back to hold the damn thing up instead of falling down again... stupid photo. Then he flops down on his tatmi with a maximum of teeage angst and sighs dramatically about how long Neshan's damn purification seal is taking to get rid of the curse so he can train for real again, to push the upper limit of his ability without false boosts.
Of course, beetle-boy won't stop at that, but time enough for that later.
And has anyone else noticed the similarities between Kabuto's design and Lord Ilpallazo? I'm fighting a losing battle against myself, resisting the idea of making his new elites a kunoichi team...

ETA: Also, it seems Aoi defected to Hidden Rain, not Mist - so his part in the Wave mission, at least, is not grounds for the Mist to be irked with Konoha.
ETA2: When the invasion hits, Zabusa is still without his sword (Kubikiri Honchou, IIRC) so he uses Suiton: Mizu no Zantetsuken no Jutsu. (zantetsuken - (n) sword that cuts iron)That which does not kill us... has made its last mistake.
SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
Next morning, Harry found himself butt-naked in the other side of town, mouth tasting of lima beans. - from Uzumaki Harry by Shadow Crystal Mage
