It's not that long of a text so pls read it all, I would appreciate it.
So I have a friend who didn't like the conclusion of the naruto and sasuke fight. I for the most part was sastified with how it ended but I still believe he makes some valid points; the main one being that he believes that Sasuke's resolution after the fight with Naruto was not believable and out of character.
The thing is that on top of their fight, they had this battle over what would be the best way for peace in the future. That was arguably the most important battle between them. Sasuke presented Naruto with his plan and his resolve. Good or bad, he had a plan. Afterwards, Naruto didn’t really offer anything in return. He kept contradicting sasuke and said that he wants to make every ninja cooperate but he didn’t explain why this was the best option and the way to go and yet sasuke makes a complete 180. Let’s put it in his words:
“Sasuke just gives up like that, going from 100 to 0, 'I'm going to kill you...Oh wait I don't want to cuz I like you.' Not to mention he says he lost directly to Naruto. Naruto had no actual plan as well if Sasuke wasn't willing.” And,
“the fact Sasuke just goes 200% in the other direction was ridiculous. *They're both dying* "You know what Naruto, you're like the coolest I always wished I was like you" That's how I felt reading it lol.”
Even though I believe that sasuke at the end should ultimately become naruto’s friend again, I agree with some of the points my friend made. Sasuke seemed so determined to make his “revolution” happen and in like half a chapter he backs away from it completely. This leads to a couple things you guys can address:
Feel free to address any or all of these and discuss

Sasuke seemed so determined to make his “revolution” happen and in like half a chapter he backs away from it completely. This leads to a couple things you guys can address:
First, is the fact that Sasuke changed this fast a problem or not? I argued that if it would have take at least two chapters for Sasuke to go back on his revolution, it would have been more believable. What do you think?
Second, do you think of sasuke as an antagonist or as a villain, and does that affect the result? My friend saw him as a complete villain at that point, “I guess I just don't believe him going from villain (I saw him as a total villain) to complete 180 "I'm misunderstood bro", which is why he had a hard time believing sasuke would change like that and I argued that sasuke is more of an antagonist.
And finally, would it have been better if kishi hadn’t made sasuke turn like that at the end and made him oppose the entire world. Would it have been more believable of a change if sasuke was less certain in his revolution plan than he seemed to be or, if it was a complete different ending where sasuke tries to cooperate with naruto right away?
