Isn't it the other way around? At least in the "modern" timeline. Sasuke and Kakashi both started out with two, but by the time Team 7 is formed Kakashi has three. Itachi has the stage past three.
Okay, is that how it works? So having the three isn't the thing you need to kill your best friend for, but just a normal progression?
Sasuke started off with two commas. So did Obito-Kakashi in the gaiden. Sasuke graduates to three commas at some point before the time-gap, but I can't remember exactly when. Itachi then tells him he needs to kill the person he's closest to in order to get the next level...The Mangekoublahblahkillyourspecialperson level is actually where the lines form a triangle/trinity design. Sauske refuses to kill Naruto and claims he'll get there another way.
After that is another two new levels you'll learn about in the latest 50 chapters.
Actually, some of the most suspense in these later chapters is wondering what new geometric designs the mangaka is going to come up with to give Itachi or Sasuke a power-up.
Kakashi had 3 commas in his at the point of the first half of the manga, and I remember it being said that he couldn't advance anymore with only one eye. But I think he actually had advanced in the time-jump, and it was revealed in the next big fight with the Akatsuki. I think. I can't remember for sure. If you're there, you'd know better than I.
