laughing so hard at people's incompetence in comparing a manga directly to real life. essentially, people naturally think the diplomatic or least warring option is the "right/better" one, but we don't have peace ourselves, and probably never will. Madara had it
"right", where to have peace, you'd have to take humans out of the equation and make them into "blank", white, zetsu, suedo humans. Regardless of sasuke or naruto's path, you can be sure if it involves humans, there will never be peace forever, so they both are fighting for the sake of fighting. People seem to think Kishi cares about the theme Peace, but if he had a better answer than entrust the future (the obvious ongoing theme that has failed for a millennium), I'm sure it wouldn't just be shared in a manga. In the end, you can look at both of these guys as complete murderous psychopaths (sas: kill the world, bar:forgive everyone no matter how much they killed the world) if you want to correlate everything to the real world (;
