Itachi stopped the Uchiha, found Obito joined Akatsuki and made a deal that prevented them from attacking Konoha.
Sasuke....wandered around for years until Shin decided to attack him....and he didn't even track down the kid.
All he accomplished was that he can confidently say 'I told you so' I guess that was worth all the pain Sarada is going through.
Don't let the hate kill your deductive reasoning capabilities. Sasuke discovered a threat 12-13 years PRIOR to the enemy making their move and has been gathering intel on them. The intel he has gather is clearly connected to Shin and them. We don't yet know the full extent of the intel Sasuke has, but it will soon be revealed that what he HAS gathered over the years will be vital to defeating the enemy.
The Kages job is to get the younger generation ready to face this threat. Sasuke discovers the threat but he can't defeat it alone. He will need an army of capable ninjas and that's what makes the Kages just as important.
No leader can do anything alone. Doesn't change the fact that it's Sasuke who's carrying a larger portion of the burden and has the entire world on his shoulders. What HE does on his journeys and the intel HE gathers is what the kages rely on. As was previously stated, he's the only one who can do the job.
You keep repeating the same thing, who has he saved the world from, who has he defeated?
None, the villains came out on their own, sasuke himself got the shock of his life when he saw shin, do they have any info on their abilities even? None.
Boy, such a limited scope you have. So he has to have defeated someone 5 chapters in the series to show that he's the one keeping the world in tow with the enemy?....and we don't yet know what Sasuke and the kages know...don't let the hate close your mind too narrowly.
It's a job they were given by the sage. Naruto keeps the peace between the villages, while Sasuke find info on possible threats. They both have an equal importance in protecting the world. When Sasuke did find a threat, he reported back to Naruto and both of them are working on the situation. Without the villages' cooperation, everything will revert back to the way it was and there would definitely be morewars between the 5 villages, so Naruto's job is just as important as Sasuke's.
I doubt that Sasuke informs the Kage every time. That looked like a Kage meeting and Naruto's the only one with the authority to call for a Kage meeting. They weren't even aware of the situation and the Tsuchikage said that they should keep quiet about it because it's just a hypothesis. Sasuke wasn't even sure that there was a threat. I don't see how they rely "heavily" on him. Sasuke was yet to find proof.
Meanwhile Naruto and Sasuke are standing side-by-side as equals and Sasuke is giving orders to Naruto to stay in the village. Sasuke calling the shots as usual.
Naruto is sitting in the village doing paper work while Sasuke has been gone doing the heavy lifting for 12-13 years. When it comes down to battle, I agree that they will both work together to defeat the enemy, but is Sasuke didn't set the wheels in motion for them to prepare 12-13 years ago, they would all have been taken by surprise and likely defeated.
what did he do? The Gokage & Sasuke only know about their existence because the bald guy wanted them to. Sasuke hasn't done anything but wander around for over 10 yrs. If Sasuke deserves a medal for that, then any other moron could've done the same thing.
Well, duh. Now that the enemy is ready to execute their plan they made their move. But if you think Sasuke wasn't prepared for some sort of threat as he predicted 12-13 years ago, then IDK what to tell you. The only surprise for Sasuke was that the enemy had the sharingan. So they may not know the specific nature of the enemy, but they have been preparing for 12-13 years for the enemy thanks to Sasuke.
What did he do? He discovered the threat and he discovered it 12-13 years PRIOR to the enemy making their move. The shinobi world will be prepared to face the enemy bc of Sasuke.
We also don't yet know how much he knows, nor do we have full details YET on what he has done, HOWEVER, what we DO KNOW is that Sasuke set the wheels in motion for the shinobi world to respond to the forthcoming threat.
