The substance of arguments aside, let's be sure to keep disagreement respectful. Just a preemptive in-thread poke to make sure that things stay on track in the long run. Naruto is often a divisive subject among fans, but ultimately we argue because we care.
Apologies if that last line is a bit preachy, but it's true.
I'll repeat my personal opinion about it: the Naruto manga makes the point that truly great ninjas sacrifice for the greater good and care about the people around them. These are traits that such legenRAB as the Third Hokage, the Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya, and Tsunade all have in common.

Even Itachi, it turns out, had many good motivations driving him.

Sasuke's circumstances aside, he's become a person that has rejected such things. Someone did reach out to Sasuke once. It was Naruto, who outright told him he was like a brother to him. Didn't make a difference. Then even after his revenge, he chose to take yet more revenge contrary to the wishes of the one that loved him. I think the best that can be said about Sasuke is that he's a loose cannon badly in need of redemption, and I hope that Naruto will eventually accomplish this.
