lets talk about somthing else no need to argue
how about Yes, sadly, but only in the same way I see a chance for Sasuke's redemption: through ridiculous, farfetched, out of nowhere writing.
Basically I only think SS has a chance because of the preposterous passes Sasuke keeps getting in this manga. He's become the main character and everyone acts for his sake or in reaction to his actions. He's been fighting non stop for 6 MONTHS now while the supposed main character faints and runs around. So why not showering him with love he never wanted anyway at the end? He deserves to be happy!
This is my cynical side talking though.

Just because we see Sasuke more now doesn't mean that it will always be like that. Kishi did mention in the 2009 interview that Naruto will have to wait because there was so much thing that needed to clarifies for Sasuke. Sure, Sasuke have a major part in the story and that every thing that Naruto does right now is for the sake of bringing him back, but that doesn't make him the main character, Sasuke will always have importance in the story plot one way or another.
Now, I have a feeling that Sasuke, even if he'll still have to come around sometimes, will not be the main focus. Don't forget that now, there is so much that need to be develop concerning Naruto, for starter, detail about his parent ( especially his mother). Info that could be primordial in the upcoming plot. Let not forget that Akatsuki ( or what is left of it) want all the jinchuuriki. Of course, Sasuke is a member of Akatsuki but I have a feeling that he won't care less about capturing Naruto because he's to focus on his revenge plot. Kishi won't always make Sasuke the 'main character' basically because now, we know almost every thing that need to know about his past and his future plan. If he does, then he'll only repeat himself and the story will loose is interest.
As for the hyperventilating reaction, I hate to repeat myself, that is not the end of the world. Naruto too, can show weakness but I think that he'll raise himself even stronger then before ( that always what happen). In part 1, he repressed his emotion for the sake of the other (mainly for Sakura) now, while he still does it sometimes, doesn't feel the need as much as in part 1.
You have every right to think that Naruto is weaker emotionally, but personally, I don't find it a weakness showing his emotion when the time can be critical.
