Sasuke is possibly taking the Younger Son's Role

[Mr Hiru]

Yes dear people. I won't go putting manga pages into this, if you read the last chapters (specifically where Sasuke met the Edo Hokages to get his answer), then Sasuke reading the Uchiha's Tablet, you should already know that Sasuke already made the connection between Senju and the Younger Son's heir, and Uchiha and the Elder Son's heir.

If Hashirama was supposed to follow the "love" as the key to reach peace... Why did Hashirama try to find it balancing "power"?

I'm kinda getting that Sasuke wants to fix this mistake... Madara in the past was right to be in conflict with Hashirama when the Senju wanted to balance power to find peace. This caused the Uchiha's massacre, indirectly, with the Kyuubi's attack.

From the moment that Hashirama separated Power from Love, things were destined to be like this, because in order to reach peace, both Power and Love had to be united. If Sasuke wants to get rid of the Bijuu, then this godly power will be replaced by human means.

Maybe

maybe not

 

[Yanks]

better off as the older son

 

[GrayParadise]

Veery far fetched. But not impossible.

 

[Made in Heaven]

Seemed unlikely to me

 

[itachi4real]

Nah cus the younger son was good hes probably taking the older son role

 

[WyvernKnight]

i like it, seems very plausible

 

[3MESSIAH]

if anything he is taking elder son`s role....younger son was all about love and understanding....sasuke is all about burn it down,destroy,delete....lol

 

[ballerjordan]

I think he's possibly taking the older son's role

Hashirama balanced power because of love, if he was like Madara, he would never help other nations and maintain power equally in the ninja world.

Sasuke believes power is the only way to achieve peace.

But people, are you forgetting that Hashirama tried to use Power to reach peace? I'm not talking about the reason HE had to use Power, but the fact that He used Power (the other nations wouldn't take this because of love... There is not evil or good in a weapon, there is just power).

 

[KayaUzumaki]

I honestly don't see how he could be taking the younger son's role. Sasuke isn't really using love for anything at the moment. A majority of his life has been dedicated to gaining power in order to kill/change something. His love for his family is the only thing that could even remotely qualify, but he hasn't been acting out of love for anyone else. At least, that's how I see his motives so far.

The meeting with the Kages weren't meaningless. Tobirama explicitely stated that the Uchiha Clan was the most linked to the "Love". Kishimoto wouldn't bring these things for nothing.

 

[KayaUzumaki]

I didn't say that the meeting wasn't meaningless, or that their connection to love was either. What I'm saying is that Sasuke isn't working out of "love" at the moment. If he were, then he would consider other people in his actions. He didn't protect Naruto because he wanted to. He did because he had to if he wanted to erase his past. That's not love. Plus, he still considers power over everything else. Naruto is the one who has been maintaining the balance between protecting love having power. That makes him more apt to claim the younger son's role.

That's not something to be assumed so easily. Until now (in Part 2) we have only seen Sasuke's actions, but not his racontto or flashbacks. Even I can't assume if Sasuke is really taking Younger Son's role, but I won't assume he is playing bad guy either. Possibilities are open because Sasuke is one of the characters which mind is most mysterious (even being one of the main characters).

I invite you to analyze what's in his mind. I put three possibilities, one of them being what you just shared.

Do you know what happened time after that event?

If I remember right...

- Hashirama gave eight of his Bijuus to other villages (balance of power = love...?)
- Madara left (Madara: Hashirama, you dumbass. I'm outta here).
- Battle of the Valley of the End (Hashirama: I win! Yay! / Madara: Hashirama, you're still dumbass. I'm outta here)
- First Shinobi War, Tobirama died (Madara: Hashirama, you dumbass. Tobirama died because of the Bijuus)
- Second Shinobi War, the Hero of the Sharingan is rescued by Madara (Madara: Time to come back )
- Third Shinobi War, Minato vs Hachibi Jinchuuriki (Minato: Ay Ay Ay, your bro is cool and you still a'fool * hi5 with bee* )
- Kyuubi Attacks Konoha (Madara: Hashirama, now my student will destroy konoha because of the LOVE for Rin * trollface * )
- Naruto part 1
- Naruto part 2 until...
- War Arc (Madara: Obito, you ***. * Obito does Harlem Shake * Oh well, at least I have Hashirama to play with).

It doesn't take much common sense to figure that Hashirama, even being influenced by Love, did not take a rational decision, and he tried to use Power (balance of power) to find peace, and because of his lack of rational sense, this was the result.

The tablet states that Both Power and Love had to be together to work out well, but Hashirama separated them by giving the Bijuus. Why?

Hashirama had the love. The other countries (these that were given the bijuus)... did not. This resulted in Konoha having the balance, and all the other nations have an excess of power and total lack of love.

Result: Wars everywhere.

I don’t think that is the case. If anything, Sasuke is more like the Elder Son. The Younger Son believed that love was the key to peace but as we have seen in previous chapters, Sasuke is clearly against this idea as he believes the Bijuu are the ones responsible for all the turmoil and hatred in the shinobi world, hence his reason for wanting to burn the Juubi down. Therefore, Sasuke is clearly representative of the Elder Son in the current generation; the Elder believed that might/power was the key to peace. Naruto is actually the one who resembles the Younger Son since he wants the Bijuu to live in peace or harmony with the humans.

Some of the worst things have been done with the best intentions. Actions speak louder than words. These two statements describe Sasuke to a T. He may want to achieve peace but he does not go about doing it the right way. All we have seen of him thus far has been him acting like he is superior and cold. He wanted to let the Bijuu die because he sees them as the source of all hatred and evil in the world, which isn't necessarily true. Not only that, but he didn't care that the Hokages were being bested by Obito. I know that they are Edos but they are still able to feel things and, as Minato pointed out, it takes a bit for their bodies to regenerate. That's why I actually agree with Naruto in his worry for them. To be honest, I don't see Sasuke as completely bad. It's just that he isn't suited to the younger son's role in my opinion.

Bingo. That's the source of this topic...

Love = Good? Power = Bad? I don't see why it must be seen in this way... and I just found connections that hints this possibility.

Not necessarily. I personally think that love and power can go hand-in-hand. However, it's how the balance is maintained that is the key to being either good or bad. To me, Danzo was a bad person. He used his abilities to manipulate people to get what he wanted. Sure it was to protect the village, but it wasn't good. It's the same situation with Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto has maintained an excellent balance of love and power. Of course, in the beginning his power could overtake him and he would go berserk. But now he is able to control it since he and Kurama are friends and he uses it to protect others. He doesn't use his power to beat others into submission, and he certainly hasn't seen himself as superior to anyone. Love = power. Sasuke on the other hand has been using more power than love. What did he do when he wanted to kill Itachi? He went to Orochimaru to gain power. This led to him making one of the biggest mistakes of his life- killing his brother who was only trying to protect the village. Then what does he do? He decides to destroy the very same village Itachi wanted to protect. So he goes after Danzo for revenge, kills him, and then wants to become even more powerful (and stop going blind) by having Itachi's eyes implanted. It doesn't matter who stands in the way or who gets hurt. There is a pattern here. Power > love for Sasuke.
