I created this thread as a discussion to discuss the comparisons between several Naruto characters and Sasuke as well as hatred:
Jiraiya&Orochimaru/Naruto&Sasuke: Were friends
Orochimaru&Sasuke: Family murdered via Konoha
Orochimaru&Sasuke: Both left the village and became a nukenin (missingnin)
Orochimaru&Sasuke: Traumatic event changed them and in Sasuke’s case he was worse off due to Itachi
Orochimaru&Sasuke: One obsessed with learning forbidden techniques the other with vengeance
Orochimaru&Sasuke: Its possible Orochimaru wanted to learn a technique in which would bring his deceased family back and Sasuke voiced out his desire to see his family again
Orochimaru&Sasuke: Orochimaru attempted to destroy the village perhaps for revenge and Sasuke has decided to destroy it but has yet to
Jiraiya&Naruto: Both told they didn’t understand the loss of a loved one and both admitted to it
Gaara&Sasuke: He had compared himself to Sasuke twice over, cried and even considered assisting in Sasuke’s pardoning
Hiruzen&Orochimaru: Hizuzen reveals that true strength is protecting something of importance
Sasuke&Naruto: Sasuke feels that hatred is strength and Naruto feels that bonds/protection is strength
It appears as though it has been foreshadowed since part 1 via Hiruzen/Orochimaru’s fight that Sasuke will be defeated through the bond Naruto possesses and protection of the village.
Hiruzen&Orochimaru: With everything Orochimaru had done even the cause of Hiruzen’s death he never ceased in admiring his student
Jiraiya commented on desiring to cease the hatred of the ninja world. He stated that the day would come when everyone understood each other and in case he was unable to then he would leave it to Naruto.
Onoki expressed his conversion due to fighting alongside Naruto and exposed the ninja villages birth to hatred. He felt like uniting all the villages and that it might change the unending cycle. He commented that they were once the reason for of all the existing hatred alike Madara.
It appears as though Kishimoto had been foreshadowing that the Narutoverse would become peaceful once again.
Naruto has pursued Sasuke all this time as a result to Sakura who asked Naruto to return Sasuke, he felt like becoming a Hokage without having saved his friend would be worthless and Itachi whose continually left the responsibility of Sasuke to Naruto but it seems as though the root of his purpose was due to how Jiraiya ultimately failed to save his friend. Naruto was told by his father that if the ninja system is left unchanged the hatred would create another Pein/Nagato. He was put to the test when facing Nagato and passed by choosing not to kill him out of revenge.
My point is that all these events have appeared to set up Naruto to become the ultimate peacemaker and will be able to save Sasuke whereas Jiraiya was unsuccessful with Orochimaru.
I would like others thoughts on this and please discuss/debate in a civilized manner
