First of all, I will say that I completely disagree with Sasuke joining the good side. The entire manga has been about Naruto bringing back Sasuke, but then all of a sudden, sasuke comes back on his own? Talk about anti climatic. Nonetheless, i could see it happening, but definitely not the way it did, all abruptly. Sasuke did so many bad things and his chakra was purely evil according to karin, but in like two chapters he becomes good and team 7 is back together. That is just bad writing.
BUT let me get to the point of this thread. If Kishi plays his cards right, this whole sasuke-wants-to-be-hokage thing can actually provide for some smart literature. let me explain. a huge thing in this story has been naruto seeking the answer to Jiraiya's question on how to have peace. since both sasuke and naruto have been through very different things in life, both can have very different answers to the question, and I'm interested in hearing sasuke's. although naruto has not given his answer yet (maybe hasn't found it) sasuke can further develop on pain's initial notion that peace come from knowing pain, and then enduring it for the sake of others (like hash told him). then naruto could argue that is not true, because that would mean once peace is achieved, the next generation would have to be taught pain in order for them to seek peace, thus the pain and peace cycle repeating itself over and over. He could also say what itachi told him that the hokage needs to be acknowledged first.
anyways, this is something i would like to see the author play out: how both characters would seek out peace and improvements and how their experiences make them a better candidate to be homage.
