Read the output carefully, it tells you exactly what is wrong:
sys-boot/grub:2[-multislot] is blocking grub:0
The multislot is important. I bet you have it disabled on your system.
If you want grub:2, enable that flag for that package and slot

ignore till later.
portage wants to keep perl at 5.20 (not the latest 5.22) because that's
what ExtUtils-PkgConfig needs.
This will be resolved when portage gets around to dealing with
ExtUtils-PkgConfig

Same as perl, but this time it's xf86-input keyboard

And these are ever more of the same.
The general idea is you can ignore slot conflicts in the early stages of
a troublesome emerge world.
All that is happening is portage has decided to not install the latest
version of a package and is telling you why, in very dramatic fashion
with flashing lights, leaping girls and a promoter with an annoying
voice. It's overkill, but it's what portage does. You can make it stfu a
bit by not using -v
