You think he's gonna apologize??
Yes, if Sasuke can go from absolutely hating the village to wanting to protect, if Sasuke can regret what he did to Karin enough to apologize, if Sasuke can regain enough morality to want to save his comrades, if Sasuke can give up revenge and live for the future, then Sasuke can apologize. Sasuke has received a lot of character development. He can receive more.
edit:
i guess we will have to wait and see :yeah:
also stopping Sasuke once and for all technically won't contribute to the so called "cycle of hatred"
there are no Uchiha's/no cycle/a criminal that will simply answer for his crimes and will obviously resist (to enforce his new goal : becoming Hokage, killing the bijuu's) which will lead to his death.

this would be true if the Uchiha were the only ones contributing to the curse of hatred. However, three world wars started not because of the Uchiha. You can't win a war or any conflict by genociding the perceived enemy and blaming it on genetics that make them evil. This is beyond immoral.
There are two ways to atone for your sins. To be punished, such as execution. To give back to society for the wrong done to society. Sasuke is doing this right now by helping to save the world. Sasuke probably will be punished in addition to his atonement. However, after doing good enough to wash away some of his sins, he won't be executed. Kishimoto cannot say the entire curse of hatred will end with the death of the Uchiha. Hatred is not genetic. Killing does not end hatred. What ends hatred is love and realizing mistakes have been made
Dear Equalist,
thank you for the neg rep. You are confusing the real world with Naruto. Naruto's world is very idealistic world. a world where one boy can change the world, a world where one boy can change the worldview and values of a character in one setting. This is not the real world. Naruto is idealistic. Thus, it is possible for Sasuke to atone for his sins primary through good acts and not punishment.
moreover, you have no logic.
You have a really messed up world view on crime and punishment. Read a book. Take a class. Do something. You have no excuse to be this stupid.
This is a conclusion. You need to back that up with premises. I don't know how to refute this because you told me nothing. You want a real world example. I just explained the difference between a punitive and remunerative court.
US criminal case: in Sasuke case it would be treason and murder. you are punished by the state. punitive legal system
US civil case; in Sasuke's case it would be wrongful death. You have to pay the victims of your crime or their family. remunerative legal system
my argument was that Sasuke is doing good acts. He saved the world with Itachi, and that should count for something. This system exists in Naruto. After Sasuke had killed Orochimaru, Diedara, and Itachi, he heard some random Leaf nin (completely impartial unlike Naruto) talk about welcoming in back into the fold. Gaara never went any more of punitive punishment for his murder Thus, it's reasonable to assume that at least some of Sasuke's acts can be washed away by his actions here. They'll be some punishment. He'll never be Hokage but he can be evenually welcomed back into the fold.
I would -rep back but I can't seem to find a post of yours to do that to.
FYI, worldview is one word.
