At this point, Sasuke only wants to die.

Lets take a look at our (least?) favorite Uchiha's psychological makeup.

First, his own words:
You must be registered for see images

He wants to kill Itachi, and to resurrect his clan.

He's lying through his teeth. He certainly DID want to kill Itachi, but to recreate the Uchiha Clan?

There has NEVER been a single instance of him being even SLIGHTLY interested in producing offspring to carry on his name. Prove me wrong. If you can, I'd be very grateful.



Now look at his reaction when he sees Itachi again:

His trump card is dealt with as easily as he must have known, in his heart of hearts, that it would be. He can't possibly believe himself to have reached Itachi's level at this point.

And he doesn't stop. His most dangerous technique has been easily neutralized. Now he's just BEGGING Itachi to kill him:

He doesn't think much of his old Clan's practices:

Naruto is COMPLETELY at his mercy, yet Sasuke won't kill him. The death of his closest friend is too high a price to pay, even in the pursuit of his most important goal. He'd be no better than his brother if he went that far.

In Shippuuden, EVERYTHING is about Itachi's death. There's no other motivation to be found.

Sasuke kills him, and just LOOK at his expression. He's done. There is no more to do, he may as well simply lie down and let it end here:

And Itachi turns out to have been a hero, who loved Sasuke more than anything in the world.

Sasuke's life goal, his ONLY goal, has only ever been pointless. His Clan's practices are barbaric and ought not to be continued. He himself has no reason to keep going on.

Yet he won't end it himself. Instead, he follows Tobi's orders, even when he KNOWS they'd more than likely result in his death. As Tobi says: "You shouldn't be so reckless with your life."

But he is, because it means nothing to him now.



So, do you agree?

How can you say he only wants to die when he clearly has a goal. To destroy Konoha.

Perhaps I should have included the bit about him picking more and more unrealistic targets for his wrath, even when it makes no sense for him to go after them... He can't honestly expect that attacking Konoha (if it has even half of its full military available) will end in anything but his own death?

If Sasuke truly wanted to die then he wouldn't have lived this long. Sasuke only goal is always been about revenge...if he has revenge and that's more of a reason for him to keep on living.

Did you forget it's not about his safety or sheltering ones own life.
I'll leave it at this.

To accomplish his goal and knowing the truth now Konoha is the last of his threats. That's of course if the one who knows everything didn't say that Uchiha-Senju/elder sons/s06p are guilty for everything or another ridiculous PNJ.

Then he will find himself in peace and there you go- the reborn of Uchiha can start.

I fail to see how that disproves my point in any way. Even another ninja remarked on Sasuke's recklessness, and it's plainly obvious in any case.

I dont think so.
If he wanted to kill himself he would have by now.
Although the only thing he is living for imo is to avenge Itachi.
If you look beyond that I cant really think of a reason for him to carry on living.

He doesn't want to kill himself, he wants to DIE:

Revenge is his ninja way. Why he have to kill himself when the people he hates is still alive.
