No, Really: Why Does Sasuke Want To Kill Naruto?

[Booker]

The newest chapter is evidence of the fact that Sasuke still has the desire to kill Naruto.

This image provides all the proof needed. Naruto can sense Sasuke's malice towards him, hence his concerned expression, and the flashback of Naruto cut in half signifies Sasuke's goal for "deleting the past".

Now, there are a couple reasons Sasuke would want to kill Naruto that I'd like to discuss.

(1) Bijuus

This theory has been around for a while, that Sasuke will want to kill Naruto because he contains a Bijuu, which is Sasuke's current goal to destroy.

However, I don't think that is soley the reason.

The flashback in Sasuke's head with Naruto's picture suggests this is almost for personal reasons. Enter...

(2) Sasuke's Pride

Time and again in the series, we have seen that Sasuke is a prideful, arrogant bastard. The main reason Sasuke wants to kill Naruto, I believe, is that Naruto has angered him to no end, following him and rejecting his wishes. It would be an even more damaging blow to his pride if he admits Naruto was right, something he can't let happen.

All in all, I believe Sasuke's main reason for wanting to kill Naruto is his flowing hate for him.

It's Sasuke, I don't think even he knows what he wants anymore.

 

[HashiramaIsBack]

Spoiled brat?

 

[Made in Heaven]

Bijuus. I think that's most likely, since he tried to kill the Juubi and said he wants to change the system, and the bijuu are part of that system.

Kinda off topic:

This pretty much says it all.

sasuke jealous to naruto like in after gaara fight.

 

[RNITBmsage]

i think jealousy pride and his mental instability are behind his actions and intentions

 

[The Sach]

Bijjus, the sol reason..

 

[Hebi Sasuke]

Maybe he wants to kill Kurama ,not Naruto...I don't see why would he hate Naruto? He just doesn't care.

 

[GhostProject]

I think it is the 3rd Option =D

Sasuke has a new goal. I think he has come to simply realize that at the end of it all, Naruto remains to be the only one that would stand directly in the way of that.

 

[Akemi]

sasuke seems sad that he has to kill naruto to achieve his ultimate new goal

 

[RNITBmsage]

this runs deeper than bijuus

 

[Akemi]

Maybe he wants to kill Kurama ,not Naruto...I don't see why would he hate Naruto? He just doesn't care.

this :hyper:

 

[GOD2U]

Naruto is the only real threat to him becoming hokage and deleting the past that the kages put the uchiha through.

 

[Akemi]

he seems not having problems with sakura or kakashi though

 

[DocThao]

b/c Naruto is creepy

wouldn't you want to stop your stalker

 

[pateuvasiliu]

Naruto is the only real threat to him becoming hokage and deleting the past that the kages put the uchiha through.

He'll never become a Hokage.

The village will never trust him.

Naruto has nothing to do with it.

Somebody should count how many times for all this years Naruto has said : "Sasuke..."
