You are trying to justify a criminals deeds, whether it's real life or not he broke the law and betrayed his village. Following the law of Kohona (like Danzo stated) he should have been punished. You credit Itachi for punishment but not Sasuke. He killed the leader of a village, crooked or not. No one said Sasuke was the only criminal, however he is a criminal none the less
Stop quoting me. I don't want to entertain you or your monotonous views. Your persistent efforts at gaining my attention grate with me.
Bullshit. This is Naruto-verse, not real world democracy - even on that ground you are hilariously off course. All these kids are taught to KILL, STEAL military secrets, TORTURE prisoners, and other common ninja tactics they taught them way back in Chunin exams. Ring any bells? Is this what your school teaches you? You want to talk about betrayal? Should anyone entertain a village/establishment that butchered your entire kith and kin and left nothing? What kind of gene-pool you come from or seriously, what is it that you cannot grasp the other factors the story represents? Even a freaking guppy would get this by now.
Secondly, you may be one of those close-minded 'bewildered sheep' within a political set-up that lap up all the patriotic shit, but not everyone follows the line. Sasuke owes Konoha nothing, nor do people in real life. In real world, you pay taxes and you get the goods in return. Stop showering me with this indoctrinated rubbish you seemed to be filled to the brim with. Some people do not believe in this school of thought, so keep those 'Wah he betrayed his village wah' whines to yourself. I for one, don't give shit about them.
The leader of the village that got his whole family killed? Or the man who was plotting from god knows how many years to topple Hokage, never aided when Pein leveled the village to the ground, stayed in touch with a man who murdered the hokage and caused many causalities, conspired with Hazno the Salamander to get Yahiko murdered, backed away from the ONLY promise he made to Itachi for protecting his brother over his sacrifice for Konoha itself to get his Sharingan etc etc etc and more etceteras? My goodness. The makings of a amazing leader.
How immature can you get? Why don't you open a decent book and study human psychology, Or a history book concerning law and order through the eons and how such arbitrary leaders are actually dealt with in politics before you open your flapping lips. Because as you stand, I wouldn't be surprised if you live in a pen among dead cows and no living, breathing human being with enough intelligence or intellectual capacity more than a pile of rocks.
- Attempted to kill Kakashi and Sakura (His sensei and "comrade"), both of which are innocent.
- Tried to capture Bee and hand him over to the Akatsuki which would of lead to his death.
- Attacked the Hokage summit killing innocent people and killing the Hokage.
- Betrayed the villiage and worked with Orochimaru
- Planned on destroying the leaf villiage.
Ect...
Nothing bad at all.
Picked those up from fan-fiction.net?
- Sakura and Kakashi went there to kill him. Self-defense tactic that any man is or should be allowed. I would have butchered both of them there and then without a shred of remorse and so would anyone else. Self-existence is THAT important. Any man would strive to protect his life. I would love to hear your logic here. It would be a treat.
- False. Infiltrated the summit and had to defend himself after Obito betrayed him through Zetsu. Another Fanfic non-sense, I see.
- Just like Hizuren betrayed the village by letting Orochimaru live? But he is somehow a hero here. Just like Danzo betrayed the village by remaining in touch with an S class criminal and he may have been the reason behind Orochimaru's attack, along with Hanzo the Salamander? But he's a great leader. Love the large fill in the blanks you left in the actual manga plot-line.
- Which is a great thing. Konoha is like a juggernaut before which countless clans, ninjas, and small villages are/were slaughtered so it could rise to the top - uchiha Clan, Pein's village, the original Akatsuki, and countless ninjas slaughtered by Danzo to name a few. It deserves to be expunged from the face of the earth as its personal retribution for all the ill inflicted on many people. It's called leveling the balance. Ever heard of that? You should look around.
