Madara is afraid of Naruto.

[Mentaltraveler]

I don't mean he's afraid :naruto: can defeat him in combat, he's afraid because :naruto: was able to change Pain's way of thinking. :hypertobi: needs :sasuke: for something as many have said, and :hypertobi: knows how close :naruto: and :sasuke: were. :hypertobi: is trying to set in stone in :naruto: 's mind that they are fated enemies with no other choice but to play their roles so :naruto: stops trying to change :sasuke:. However I don't believe for a minute this will work on :naruto:, even after his realization about how :sasuke: has changed.

Well, it's obvious Madara's trying to get Naruto and Sasuke to fight each other. No matter what Naruto decides, he'll end up fighting Sasuke anyways. It's not something he'll be able to avoid.​

MY eyes!... all those smilies... too hard to just write their name, good job anyway... but it was a little obvious.

The fight is inevitable and nothing will break Naruto's resolve. Naruto will tank Sasuke's techniques long enough for him to use talk-no-jutsu. This will be Naruto vs Neji version 2.0

Yes, I agree that Madara is concerned about :naruto: power to change people. Madara and Danzou are kinda the same, trying to set up scenarios that suit their plans.

But Sasuke has not changed that much, he has always been more concerned about becoming stronger for himself than about Konoha. He's just older and stronger. More vindictive, I agree, but he already had that 3 years ago when he left his place.

If Naruto was able to forgive Pain, he should be able to forgive Sasuke.
