what was it that Tobirama explained about the Uchiha and why do you consider it as something positive for SasuKarin? care to rant?
Definitely! 
I consider it positive for SasuKarin for more than one reason, but the biggest one is the following:
As I briefly explained here, Sasuke’s Mangekyo did indeed react to Karin’s plight. In other words, her potential loss was shown to have an effect on Sasuke’s Sharingan, which unlocked a new power: the ability to extinguish the Amaterasu flames, in order to save her.
This is very relevant for two different reasons:
- Tobirama outright states that what triggers said changes in an Uchiha’s eyes is their struggle with the despair of having lost / potentially losing a person the Uchiha feels “a strong love” (愛情に深い) for (note: love here does not carry romantic connotations, it just reflects the strength of said feelings).
- True to those words, the times during which Sasuke’s Sharingan has reacted in some way, shape, or form are related to either Itachi or Naruto. We know just how important those two bonds are to Sasuke. So the fact that so far the only instance unrelated to either of them happened due to Karin is very important in my eyes.
Another reason why I consider Chapter 619 important is because it helps shed a lot of light on just why did Sasuke begin to Change so swiftly after the loss of Itachi; it helps explain his behavior during the Kage Summit.
And it also makes his behavior during the Killerbee fight even more eye-catching. As Tobirama put it, ”When an Uchiha that has known love loses it … it turns into an even stronger hate and changes that person.” So that Taka was able to move Sasuke despite that and that the prospect of losing Karin was able to shake Sasuke hard enough to have him awaken a power for reasons other than his hatred, is also quite something in my eyes (and I can’t help but feel it also feels an earlier bit of Tobirama’s speech, haha).
Lastly! I also personally find what the Hokage said in regards to the Uchiha’s darkness interesting in the context of Sasuke’s betrayal of Karin, considering it was her who Kishi used for Sasuke’s Moral Event Horizon and as his threshold into “true darkness”. But now that is nothing but speculation on my end haha
Thanks a lot for asking, anon! :D
