The council can go to hell, honestly. It's all about their dumb decisions. True, he can get blamed for all his actions throughout his departuring the village and joining the sinister Orochimaru. If the Council knew what Danzo did that should be more punishable because he was the leader of root, yet he joined Orochimaru in the shadows and had the Uchihas sabotage. Which Sasuke or anyone in that matter can protest. Danzo tried to get Sasuke killed by Sai. That will link Sasuke with an advantage and Sai will agree with it. Not because he likes Sasuke, but because of Naruto. He knows that if he lies. Naruto would lose trust on Sai. Sakura knows this as well, including Captain Yamamoto.
The only crime that would be punishable would be the Killer Bee one. I believe Bee can forgive Sasuke. I mean didn't Bee's friend wanted to kill him? What did he do forgive him. Raikage can be a grouch, but he needs to move on from that situation. Bee didn't die against Sasuke. If that happened i would of hold Sasuke fully responsible. The Kages protesting that he attacked the Summit. Zetsu told the Kages of Sasuke being inside the place. Anyone that says that they were attacked by Sasuke. Ask for it. He warned them at least. The only way that he can be punishable is by doing a crime in the war. His crime can be destroying the village. If he goes there, than i won't find him innocent anymore.
Sadly the council still has a lot of power. You're right about Danzo, but who is the whole world going to believe? The leader of Root, or a boy who betrayed the village to go to one of their enemies and who is a child of a clan that tried to take over Konoha?
The odds aren't in Sasuke's favour.
Believe me, in my opinion Sasuke didn't do much wrong, but sadly that isn't how the council will see it. They are probably afraid of Sasuke and what he can do with his eyes and will want to destroy him.
The best Sasuke can hope for, is that he will gain a bit of favour back if he helps Naruto or the Kages against Tobi or Madara.
And then he probably is going to need the help of Tsunade, Gaara and Naruto to make sure he doesn't get the death sentence. And the only reason why Tsunade and Gaara would even think about helping him is because they are fond of Naruto.
I think Sasuke may call himself lucky for having such a stubborn friend like Naruto
