As we know Sasuke is pretty much a good guy now. He values the village, his friends, and is truly apologetic about his time on the dark side. supposedly

So what if the village elders still held a grudge against Sasuke? :| I mean he did kill Danzo, helped Orochimaru in whatever freak show experiments he was up to, deserted the village, and was at one point part of Akatsuki. So do u think that when Akatsuki started to resurface its possible that the elders pushed the responsibility of investigating and eliminating Akatsuki onto Sasuke?

They could have even questioned whether Sasuke was in league with the new Akatsuki if when questioned Sasuke never told them anything of remaining Akatsuki members.

Yes because a Uchiha values love more than anything. And Sasuke loves his family.

The elders look like they would do that, They didn't like Tsunade (so they dont like SakurA) and they probably arent to fond of Sasuke.

Because Sasuke found them out first and they are connected to the Sharingan/Uchiha? Idk

I think it's more likely Sasuke found them on his own. He has been away for quite some time now/

He has to if he wants to be a Leaf Shinobi. :| Being a parent and having a family means that they feel the consequences of Sasuke's decisions.

Subordinates follow orders :|

Most logical conclusion is that:

I. Naruto/Sasuke are working together on this, hence why Sasuke called Naruto before they dealt with Orochimaru or "talk to him"
II. Sasuke found out about 'something' important in his time gone which resulted in Uchiha/Sharingan/Orochimaru findings
III. The Akatsuki just resurfaced and Sasuke just found this problem recently. If you look at the contrast between Sasuke in 700, and now, he doesn't look that cautious, but now he has his Sharingan on and everything.

My best guesses.

He's not even in the Village most of the times,and besides,why would Naruto,and Sasuke let the Elders boss Sasuke around? They both know the truth about the Uchiha massacre,and how do you know those two are even alive? They are not immortal like Oonoki.

I think it's the other way around. Akatsuki want Sasuke dead and are constantly targeting him, that forced him to stay away from the village to protect it.

That's the impression I got, maybe Sasuke never truly came back to the village because of that, Sakura met with him somewhere outside instead.

Koharu and Homura are dead actually (old age). They also lost their positions to Shikamaru when Kakashi/Naruto took over.

Sasuke found the Akatsuki on his travels. No one pushed anything onto him and he's away from his friends/family of his own accord.

I. Naruto wasn't Hokage 12 years ago. :|
II. Sasuke would think Orochimaru is his responsibility. (He did bring him back after all) So this one can fly.
III. Or Kishi hadn't decided on a plot when 700 happened. Tbh, I doubt there was more than one issue since this is a mini series and there has to be a singular root cause to Sasuke's absence so I think the Akatsuki resurfacing and Sasuke's absence are connected

That will be a punch to the face if we find out a thirteen year old Uchiha with white hair, and a hooded Akatsuki man are causing enough trouble for Sasuke. That doesn't make much sense though if Sasuke called for Naruto's help to talk with Orochimaru.

It seems as if this is a new threat, or at least that's what they are implying with the spoilers.

I. Who said this event happened 12 years ago? It is implying that this is new.
II. Which is why he called for Naruto to go talk to them in Chapter 2, which connects with my theory that these events are recent.
III. Doesn't change my answer though, I mean whether or not he had a plot means that Sasuke was at least liviing in an era of peace himself.

Yea I never said that the people targeting him are only those 2, maybe there are more. I say he might have never came back because the spoilers say there is no record of Sarada's birth, meaning she was probably born outside the village. So either she is not Sakura's daughter which is less likely imo, or Sakura met Sasuke outside the village.

Wasn't in the village :| Sasuke came back for a period of time. Elders are probably dead though

Don't know :|
As far as strength goes Sasuke could level the place

III. How did kishi imply that Sasuke was living in peace in 700 if Sasuke was seen reaching for his sword :|

I. Implying that this event is happening now, Sasuke decides to now meet/talk with Orochimaru, meaning that these events are "new" or "occurring as we speak"
III. Just because Sasuke is living in a time of peace does not mean where he is traveling is a "safe place". There are still threats that linger such as; rogue, animals, etc., but that doesn't mean Sasuke himself does not look 'peaceful' in a sense. Notice how he even shrugged off his immediate worry on the supposed "noise" and carried on with his duties.
