Those aren't his real eyes, but now that you think about it, Obito has at least one. Bringing his brother back seems like a waste though. He already died cause he wasn't strong enough.

Everything happening in Naruto right now just feels like fan-fiction. Sasuke about-face? All of the old legendary characters revived? Next we'll see Naruto hooking up with Hinata.

I'm really looking forward to the day we discover that Springtime is actually Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi universe and everyone should have been on board with this plan from 8 o'clock day one.

Sasuke...really hasn't actually done all that much in the long run to piss off the Hidden Villages. He attacked Killer Bee, but everyone was going after him when they thought Bee was dead. So there's grounds for Raikage letting up, and Sasuke hasn't personally done anything to the other Kages. Well, OK, technically he stabbed Gaara way back when. Other than that, he's killed several highly wanted criminals and one douchebag no one liked anyways. The main reason I've always wanted to see Sasuke lose is because he's just such a loving prick about everything, really more than anything he's done. He's just so goddamn whiny and selfish, even now. There's grounds for the rest of the world going "eh, he helped us fight off the Antichrist, we can give him a pass on this."

To be fair it had just been determined that the 'legitimate' Hokage had been manipulating the head summit dude's mind so he'd be favoured so there's a load of doubt cast on him not just eyehaxing his way into power.

Whatever Danzo did at the Hokage summit is kind of irrelevant to his position as Hokage, he would need to be ousted by the feudal Lord or the elders or whatever. The appointment of Hokage is an internal Land of Fire affair and he was still Hokage at the time. Even if he would have been de-kaged Sasuke still murdered a prominent leaf ninja. Plus, yknow all those samurai. Like, the land of iron's orphan population is a lot higher after the Kages summit. edit: And attacking the kage summit is, in itself, a terrorist act of the highest order. Zabuza was a missing nin and ultra-criminal because he tried to attack the feudal lord of one country, Sasuke attacked the military leadership of the entire known world.

Sasuke going mad as he's sentenced to death and no longer can reconcile NOT destroying the village with his brother's wishes (Sasuke was the only person he couldn't bear to see die). Something has to turn Sasuke again, maybe this is it? I doubt it, but hey, stranger things have happened.

Granted, I could see them forgiving him for the Hokage thing if you're applying say, Song of Ice and Fire-like feudal rules or something since he probably had a legitimate right of revenge against Danzo. Raikage probably doesn't have an awesome claim for revenge either since he was directly responsible for all sorts of heinous poo poo on his own, e.g. attempting to kidnap Hinata and having Neji's dad executed. The Samurai nobody probably cares about.

He would have had to been confirmed by a vote among the Jounin to officially become Hokage.

If he helped deliver the finishing blow on Madara I'm sure he'd get a pardon. I doubt he'll live to the end of the manga anyway, I see him probably sacrificing himself to take down Madara/10-tails/whatever and saving Naruto/the village/the world.

I think Sasuke dying is pretty much Sasuke not fulfilling Itachi's wishes just as much though; Kishi's gone way out of his way to make Itachi Ninja Jesus #2 (after Hashirama and before Naruto). I'm still a little disappointed that Kishi didn't go for what I was hoping would explain Sasuke's inexplicable turn from gray-character to straight heel - that he was given one of the Tailed Beasts off-panel and it overpowered him with evil desires. In any case, I think he could be forgiven if he did enough, but he's also too much of a dick to admit he was wrong and ask for forgiveness, which is what it would take to be believable.

I don't care what happens with Sasuke so long as it doesn't end up with Sasuke and Naruto fighting each other since that scenario makes literally zero logical sense in any way other than some hokey pokey "I'll beat some sense into him" nonsense and really doesn't help anybody with anything. I could understand Sasuke being so upset and driven to kill his brother who he thinks killed his entire family in cold blood but after he does that his character has been on one gigantic downward spiral who's motivations are so absurd and comical that the sooner he just cuts this poo poo out and starts fighting the bad guys the better.

It makes a lot more sense for the two of them to work together now. Having the final battle involve beating the stupid out of such a major character really is a bit silly. It removes all agency from Sasuke, making him a foil to make Naruto look better. I can't stand the twit, but that isn't how his character has ever been portrayed. It just wasn't clear how Sasuke would ever get his head out of his rear end before the latest scene.

Sasuke will be redeemed in my eyes when someone punches him in his smug face. I don't care who. His current u-turn is welcomed, because hopefully he'll be less insufferable, but really- he needs a punch in the chops.

Sasuke hasn't had any of his own agency between his fight with Itachi and him meeting up with Zombie Itachi. The only reason he didn't go back to Konoha after killing Itachi is pretty much because Tobi/Madara lied to him and gave him a reason to hate Konoha by telling him the "truth". Which filled in enough of the holes in information that Sasuke had that he believed it. And then Tobi/Madara proceeded to put Sasuke in enough fights(with Zetsu just funneling chakra to him so he had functionally infinite) where he had to spam his Sharingan to accelerate the rate at which Sasuke went blind and insane.
