I giggled like a little dork when Zetsu said that Madara ate Hashirama's meat. Translations can be so funny sometimes.

This is pretty true. Black Zetsu really wasn't planning that much. He just rewrote a little bit of history, then waited possibly thousands of years for the right, idiot guy to come along and be a tool, and then it took another 50-60 years later for some poor, random kid from just the right kid to come along because the first idiot was too old. Seriously, this isn't Aizen level planning, this is Game of Throne's Varys level planning. Not as impressive, but a little more realistic due to the fact that it doesn't depend on a batshit-insane level of planning so much as waiting for circumstance to work for him. Black Zetsu would have waited another thousand years had things not worked out with Madara.
It's almost a deconstruction of the usual "Big Bad" in anime. In this case, the Big Bad got totally played, and could have been almost anyone else. He just got unlucky enough to be at the wrong place of the wrong time with the wrong personality.
Also, I think this chapter made Kaguya a bit more sympathetic...and scary. She isn't evil...she's crazy. Totally, totally crazy. She's freaking hallucinating, seeing her children in Naruto and Sasuke, and she's crying all while she's doing it! She's pretty much emotionaless until she gets angry, and then she goes crazy. Seriously, this is a woman with a serious mental illness, whose descendants also have serious mental problems! This isn't a story about ninja, it's a story about the need for mental health facilities!
Well, now we have a name and a face for the Sage's brother! (And I don't mean Black Zetsu)

I hope Shino could do something more.
This was hilarious. I literally laughed.
Kaguya's and Sasuke's faces were especially funny.

Dem faces.
Edit: And of course Sakura shows to be an utter bitch again when later, when they are all teleported she only asks if Sasuke is okay. Yea he's fine, and Naruto, the guy who hasn't ever tried to kill you and has stuck by you since day one is okay as well you bitch.

You can actually see Kaguya smiling in this panel.
Can't blame her. She doesn't gotten any in like thousands of years.
Dimensional shenanigans here we go!
As an aside, Naruto's life manipulation abilities are damn impressive.

It's time for Naruto to end.
