This is the main character trait of Sasuke in ''{{Naruto}}''. Initially, his desire was revenge on his brother for killing the rest of his clan. Sasuke eventually pulls it off, but he only feels angrier about it. He moves on to wanting to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village as he finds out his brother's actions were driven by the village's politics. When the village DOES get destroyed, he still feels empty and unfilfulled. He now wants to personally kill anyone who's lived in the village. Sasuke was also originally going to spare his childhood friend Naruto but now has Naruto at the top of his personal hit list, first for repeatedly getting in his way and now for being the village's hero. Note that Sasuke is a unique case of this in the series--a number of other characters have learned to forgive and forget, whereas Sasuke sinks deeper and deeper.

By the way, since this is a trope about endings and character development, there will be plenty of unmarked spoilers. There ought to be a spoiler warning.
