I agree, most of Konoha villagers never really cared about Sasuke, the ninjas are just pissed with him cause he is a traitor, and the elders are afraid of losing the Sharingan. I don't think that anyone really cares for Sasuke enough to die for him -other than Naruto-. If you think about this seriously, he represents their failures:
Elders & Hokage -> He abandoned them and joined Orochimaru who killed Sarutobi, in this case he represents their weakness to keep the truth hidden and keep him as a ninja tool (cause of the Sharingan) to the village.
Kakashi -> He lost a student he wanted to protect and help advance, he even admitted that after he stopped the fight the first time between Sasuke and Naruto.
Sakura -> She failed to make him love her and she even failed to protect him from his evil side (Orochimaru)
All other ninjas -> He betrayed all of them and he represents to them their failure to surpass him. Konoha's genious, a true sharingan user born to excel just left and became stronger next to a hated person.
Only for Naruto is different and that's cause he is the only bond he failed to keep and the only one he failed to change.
What i am afraid of is that Raikage will "change" also cause of Naruto, like what happened with Pein and i hated it.
