He's committed to the "destroy your loved ones" approach to vengence/leadership/ChaoticEvil-ness. Now that they've switched places in the eyes of the village (see below) Naruto officially has a "family" to lose and Sasuke's going to be the one to destroy that family. Now that they've both lost their families they can fight on truly equal terms, which is what Sasuke really wants.

[[WMG:Naruto will end up with Sakura in the manga, and with Hinata in the anime.]]
This is most likely the only way for Kishimoto to resolve this shipping issue with both sides (relatively) happy. It makes sense as well, due to the anime putting plenty of focus on Hinata compared to the anime.
* episode 129 omake is evidence against this. But you never know.
** How so, exactly? I heard that it was Naru/Saku, but I don't know any details. It isn't uncommon to see anime-exclusive Naru/Saku ShipTease; they changed Naruto and Sakura talking about Sasuke's curse mark and Orochimaru on a bench to Sakura offering Naruto "that date (he's) always wanted". Similarly, the Naru/Hina ship tease in the anime is mainly the result of her getting more screentime as a secondary character; most of her canon appearances involve her feelings for Naruto in some way, so the anime seems to be taking it to its natural conclusion than necessarily favoring Naru/Hina.

* If he's telling the truth, Izuna could be influencing Sasuke to follow his big brothers orders, since he was unable to support him against the Senju takeover. This accounts for Sasuke's compliance with Madara's commands despite his hand in the massacre and being the root ([[IncrediblyLamePun sorry]]) cause of it. Also, if Izuna had actually taken over at some point, it would explain his bad tactics against KillerBee - unused to having a physical state, and rusting of skills. Plus they look so damn similar...

Internet Backdraft is now Flame Bait and being dewicked per TRS.


** Alternatively, Kishimoto is just deliberately creating a topic that automatically results in InternetBackdraft and ShipToShipCombat whenever it is brought up even tangentally, even in a non-shipping context. As the response to this WMG shows, he succeeded perfectly.

It is often said that if the host container (Jinchūriki) dies, the Tailed Beast (Bijuu) dies too. How do they know this? So far all nine of them are still alive (in some form), which means [[CaptainObvious none of them have died yet]]. For all we know killing the host could set the beast free. In fact the Three-tails may have been released as a result of the Fourth Mizukage dying or killing himself. The Nine-tails has no way of knowing either, but to play it safe he keeps Naruto alive.

** P.S, this is a freaking battle shonen. We're not going to get a beautiful LoveEpiphany from Naruto or anyone else. If you want that kind of relationship development, take [[OnePiece Oda's]] advice and read an actual romance manga. (can I suggest Bakuman? The hero ends up with the adorable shy girl with an uncanny resemblance to Hinata, and the development is really touching and satisfying.)

Sakura seems to be beginning to see how much she means to Naruto and exploring the possibility of how much Naruto in turn means to her. However, she also sees how much Hinata cares for Naruto and will therefore [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy step off to the side if Naruto chooses to pursue Hinata]]. Meanwhile, if Sasuke ever gets redeemed, he might come to understand how much his team, particularly Sakura, meant to him. However, [[WordOfGod Kishimoto]] explicitly stated that Sakura's feelings for Sasuke were a shallow crush and her dedication to him seems to be as a friend and former comrade rather than romantic. Therefore the very emotionally stunted and socially awkward Sasuke who has always been fawned over by women will be at a disadvantage in both his feelings and pursuit of Sakura. This LoveDodecahedron most likely will be resolved offscreen a la {{Dragonball}}.

** Doubtful. Sasuke was a credible threat to Itachi. Not better than him, but a credible threat. Neji's last combat appearance had him, Lee, and Tenten having trouble dealing with an inferior version of Kisame which Guy had to defeat. Neji is good, yeah... but just like Naruto, Sasuke got the benefit of three years of training under one of the Sannin. While this isn't Dragonball and tactics play a much larger role in a fight than "power levels", Sasuke's probably still got a fair edge on Neji.

Naruto is about to learn the painful lesson that there are times when you just [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption can't win]]. Sasuke does not want to reintegrate into Konoha's ranks, he has made his intention to destroy Konoha clear, and the rest of the village doesn't want him back. Now every one in the ninja world is telling him Sasuke is a lost cause. Even if Sasuke does make a HeelFaceTurn, what then? He's still the most wanted [[strike: man]] [[ChildSoldier kid]] in world. Once Naruto realizes that Sasuke has no hope of redeeming himself with The 5 villages, he will - for the first time ever - give up on [[IGaveMyWord his own word]]. [[DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck And it would definitely not be Awesome]]

What's more, The Darkness is the [[SealedEvilInACan Statue]] that the Akatsuki are sealing the Biju into. The Darkness/Susanoo is something like Ruin from Brandon Sanderson's {{Mistborn}}: It's a massively powerful creature that was bound long, long ago. It's power was divided into the Bijuu and its consciousness was what the Sage of the Sixth Paths found that allowed him to understand how Chakra Works and create Ninja. The Spirit then possessed his younger son, explaning why the Uchiha are so insane. When Madara unlocked the Eternal Mangekyo, he became fully possessed by the Spirit, explaining his odd powers like Intangibility, his 'Sinister Eyes', and his ability to control the Bijou. He manipulated Pain and the Akatsuki into using the Statue with the promise of a powerful weapon, but instead is rebuilding his body. Sasuke, while being manipulated by The Darkness/Susanoo, is not fully possesed by it because does not have the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, but the most recent changes in his character stem by unlocking the Double Mangekyo. His Chakra is 'darker' because he's being more heavily influenced, and he's weirder/has new powers for the same reason.

* I respectfully disagree with ideas. I think that given blood relations between Nagato Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki, it's possible that Naruto simply inherited BloodLine Limit Rinnegan from Sage. However, it's possible that Nine-tails somehow suppressing Limit. Otherwise it's possible that Naruto indeed become that sort of badass.

** You might want to read again, buster. Hiruzen Sarutobi has already retired and appointed Minato Namikaze (Naruto's father) as the Fourth Hokage. He was only forced to come out of retirement because he's alive, and the position of Hokage is held permanently even if one is not active (a la TheChroniclesOfNarnia). [[IronicEcho THIS IS A MORE HEAVILY-RELEVANT PLOT POINT EVERYONE KNOWS, MAN.]]
