So if we look at the reason why Sasuke wasn't sent to jail...

Well, that's pretty lame. That's the reason he wasn't imprisoned for life - imagine what public opinion on him was. Not so great. He almost killed the village hero, Naruto. He was planning on becoming a dictator and taking over the world in some sort of mess of a plan. And it's not like undoing the Infinite Tsukuyomi proves he was a "good guy"; it was either that, or live in the world alone. Not really like he had much of an option...plus, we knew from the beginning that he disagreed with Madara and Obito's eye of the moon plan so, no surprises there, we knew all along he would do it, and it's not something he did out of self-interest, but it's still not a selfless act that proves his goodness. Raikage Ay and the rest of Kumo is still probably pissed at him for trying to kill Killer Bee, and Ay's still missing that arm. Konoha's pissed at him for almost killing Naruto, the village hero. The rest of the shinobi world isn't likely to forgive him so easily, and as readers, it's disappointing to us that Sasuke never performed a truly selfless act in the end, one that involves a sacrifice on his part and one that's meaningful to the shinobi world.

So what could he have done? Answer: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu. Sasuke should have revived every single member of the Allied Shinobi forces to prove his regret and show to the readers and the shinobi world that in the end he was really a good guy. And let's not forget, a lot of people died in that war.

Holy shit, and that was only after the first day? That's not including shinobi who were killed by transformed white Zetsu who infiltrated the army camps and started killing people left and right. That's not including the shinobi who were killed by Madara and Obito (remember those giant meteors that wiped out a battlefield?) That's not including the shinobi who got their chakra sucked and killed by the God Tree, or the people killed by Spiral Zetsu. If Sasuke used the Rinne Tensei and revived all those soldiers, imagine the gratitude everyone would have towards him...it offers more closure to Sasuke's character and establishes him as a "good guy" in the end. , he would be able to erase all his past mistakes with a single, powerful act, and prevent people from having to go through this:

So, what would this accomplish for the readers? And how would this develop Sasuke's character, or end him on a good note?

It involves a sacrifice on Sasuke's part, showing that he's selfless. Sasuke would be sacrificing his eye. I'm pretty sure using Rinne Tensei kills the user of the technique...but, Sasuke can use Rinne Tensei with his Rinnegan, while simultaneously using izanagi with his sharingan, so history would be rewritten and he wouldn't die. But, he would still lose his sharingan so that's a sacrifice of some sort. It counts!

It would show to everyone that the war wasn't a waste of life. Probably a lot of families were angry that they ever went to war, and even though the leaders/people in positions of power within the great nations would be able to understand that it was for the greater good (as they could not have won the war without the cooperation of them all), the majority of people probably didn't see it that way and felt like they had lost their loved ones for a war that seemed far off and distant, even if it affected them directly. If the shinobi were revived, it would have shown that the war wasn;t just a waste of life and that something was actually gained from it...

It ends Sasuke on a good note, and make sense why everyone forgave him. Admit it...Sasuke's kind of a dick. He tried to kill Sakura multiple times and yet she immediately forgave him and...healed him as soon as she saw him sick and dying and...wanted to travel the world with him and...ended up...marrying him and having a kid with him? Wtf? That makes no sense. If he had redeemed himself in this sort of way, it would have shown he became a changed man, instead of him just saying it.

So, if you made it this far, I have to thank you for reading my thread...and I know my opinion isn't that popular and I will get a lot of comments saying "deal with it, the manga's over" and "rinne tensei is so cliche, that would be the exact same thing as what Nagato did." Well...STFU! It would have been a lot better than what actually did happen, and I'm entitled to share my opinion. If you don't like it, you don't have to comment.

Skimmed, saw Rinne Tensei, laughed at the notion of Kishimoto using that shit twice.

So? Even if you tried you couldn't get pass the 2nd paragraph.

OT: I 90% agree with you, not about him reviving people but him dying.

I could of read it if I wanted to.

Attacked Bee-Shinobi attack each other all the time
Took Ay's arm- Ay did that willingly
Killed Samurai-saved how many by bringing the Edo Kages
Partnered with Akatsuki-Betrayed Akatsuki
Tried to kill Naruto-Pretty sure no one told them about that Lol They were all in IT

Sasuke already proved that he was selfless by saying that he would use rinne-tensei and honestly after Nagato and Obito both trying to use it it comes off as a "world pls forgive me-jutsu" Neji was the only important death.

I like the idea of Sasuke working to keep the tragedy from reoccurring again and working with Naruto towards a brighter future to be a pretty good redemption.

Sasuke didn't kill any single person in this war.




He didn't had to use Rinne Tensei to Them

his pardon makes a little sense....I mean without him the war would be lost. but like the rest of the ending of the series it was rushed :( we all kinda knew how the war was gonne end...but the aftermath of the war, that was the interesting part. but we only got 1 chapter to explain some things witch is a shame we needed at least a good 10 chapters for that.

As for Sasuke, I believe his role in the village would be a little bit like Danzo protecting the village from the dark and rarely showing his face and only really interacting with Naruto.. The Dark night.
